You get a bit tetchy about your themes don't you.

Well AIUI there have been 4 different themes for C4 racing..

The original by Brian Bennett which Chie has uploaded (1984 - c1996)
then there was a rockier version of the original (c1996 - c2000)
Then the completely different techno-style version (c2000 - c2004)
and the current techno theme.

I don't know where The Formula Band's version fits in but it's clearly a cover.

Incidently it's 25 years of Channel 4 Racing next month.

I thought the above post was introduced in 2000. I'm certain I have VHS with the original theme being used in 1999.

You could be right Robin. The first techno theme may have been introduced in 2002 when they joined hands with attheraces for a bit. But it didn't last long.

The "techno" theme did indeed come in with the rebrand to attheraces.

Still don't understand why they didn't bring back the "4 in a horse" logo when they rebranded back to Channel 4 Racing. The scanner still has it plastered on the side (only painted a few months before the change to attheraces & too disruptive to get rid of).
