Also on http://www.autosport.com/goodwood-73rd-members-mee... . Its fantastic!
I watched some of this yesterday via Autosport.
Could only manage small doses though...the two guys doing the commentary, both for telly and at the circuit, are the same two who were one of the reasons I stopped attending races about 20 years ago.
They just talk rubbish!
Waffle waffle and then more waffle about being cold and trying to get their fan heater working in their commentary booth thing.
Kind of Alan Partridge without any humour, none whatsoever. Or Dads Army, again devoid of jokes. A hybrid of both?
The sound of the cars would be fine, but that was kind of turned down to hear these two prats yakking on about a McLaren costing "about 5 mill" and it having a "BMW V8 engine".
Pub bores.

At about 12.30 on the Saturday, one of the commentators was definitely EATING whilst broadcasting live. Absolutely disgusting.

Wouldn't be shocked if they broadcast from the toilet, bath or when cutting toenails..."I say old chap, that clipping went in my soup"...
I used to go to motor racing to relax and just wander about, get away from it all after a week of work, but these two ninnies would prattle away ALL DAY and rather like a dripping tap it just becomes very tiresome. Nothing to say and saying it too loud.

160 down the back straight and astonishing acceleration. Near 50 year old car too -shows how relatively little things have moved on compared to the 50 years preceding the T70.
I was doing a little post-event analysis last night. Al Buncombe was pulling a genuine 170mph at the timing beam after the Lavant Kink in his T70. That's not far off the speed his LMP1 Nissan will be pulling on the run to Mulsanne in June...Gassing Station | General Motorsport | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
