Part one of Ten’s two-part series Brock, which details the life of Australian motor racing legend Peter Brock, pulled in 828,000 metro viewers at 8:30pm, according to overnight OzTam figures.

Brock has been a long-time coming to screens, first being announced at the company’s 2015 upfronts and then spoken of again at the company’s 2016 upfronts; however, the broadcast marked the 10th anniversary of Brock’s death.

The show followed on from Ten’s broadcast of the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 which saw 997,000 metro viewers tune in to the race, see Holden’s Will Davison and Jonathan Webb win after a late three-way crash involving Garth Tander, Scott McLaughlin and Jamie Whincup.

Living in regional NSW (Bowral) I was extremly disappinted at the amount of commercial breaks WIN added into the V8 Supercars telecast on Ten with local commecials. I understand their need to raise revenue but we had 6-8 minutes of “live” content then a 4 minute commercial break through most of the broadcast. We counted up to 22 minutes of commercials in the hour each hour.
