Not an SBS production but rather a TCR production. Although to be fair to ARG, I think that it was a Shannons Nationals production that they contributed to and were able to decide on their spend within that production - not total control of all aspects but they did have a significant influence on the quality of the production.
Thanks for that clarification Tourer, regardless of the knit-picking, the TV coverage
was very average. Hopefully, we get to see a much improved TV coverage next time around.
