SUNDAY saw races 14 and 15 of the 2020 championship.ģ59,000 watched Race 14, held in the earlier timeslot on Sunday 247,000 on Channel 10 (Metro + Regional) and a further 112,000 on Fox Sports 506. Supercars filled 8 of the top 20 STV programs on Saturday, with F1 qualifying and the Ford v Ferrari movie premiere technically giving Motorsport 10 spots of the 20. The 106,000 watching on Fox Sports was the equal lowest of the year, tied with Race 8 held in the middle of the day on the Sunday of Supercars’ racing return in late June. An additional 129,000 watched in regional areas via 10 / Win, taking the total audience for Race 13 to 382,000.

That number was made up of 147,000 watching on Channel 10 and 106,000 on Fox Sports 506. SUPERCARS SATURDAYģ82,000 watched Race 13 on Saturday, at that point the third largest race audience of the year. SUPERCARS returned to free-to-air TV on Sunday with both days of the BetEasy Darwin Triple Crown aired live on Channel 10, as well as the usual live coverage on Fox Sports 506. The 60,000 watching on Fox Sports was the equal third-largest on the subscription TV network on Sunday. The dramatic Moto2 crash prior to the main race – plastered on social media – would no doubt have drawn eyeballs to the big show, while the incredible near-miss of the opening laps of the main race would have done the same, explaining the rise in numbers for what was labelled the post-race show on 10Bold, but in reality contained much of the race itself due to the red flag delays.ġ0Bold’s post-race show audience was No. It’s a larger audience than the 147,000 who watched the Supercars on 10’s primary channel on Saturday.

The breakdown saw a record 137,000 on free-to-air and another 60,000 on Fox, though the number is actually larger again: With the red flag – due to the enormous crash at turn three – delaying proceedings, the race audience is more likely to be the positively huge 167,000 who watched what was listed as the post-race show on 10Bold. MOTO GPġ97,000 people watched the Austrian MotoGP on 10Bold and Fox Sports on Sunday night, the biggest audience of the two-wheeled year to date. There’s some interesting number crunching ahead, however it’s clear that MotoGP is punching well above its weight on local screens in 2020. WORDS: Richard Craill IMAGE: Supercars / Mark HorsburghĪNOTHER BIG weekend of Motorsport on the box saw Supercars back on 10, F1 in Spain and MotoGP in Austria. THE ONGOING drama created by MotoGP week in, week out is proving to be a winner with Australian TV audiences in 2020, big numbers tuning into the action proving that being on a secondary channel means nothing if the product is good.
