following on from the legard is a c*** thread.
whats the best bit of commentary youv heard. doesnt have to be the most exciting on track only being described in a passionate way that gets you standing up and shouting at the tv etc.

motorsports only and a clip would be nice.

Alan Jones commentating on the Australian GP, I believe 1995, with Murray Walker and from memory they edited his comment out for the lunch time showing.

In the live to air version, Schumacher is trying to get past Alesi. Walker poses the question (to paraphrase);

"What is Alesi thinking?"

Jones' reply;

"You're not getting past me you arrogant little Kraut, that's what he is thinking."

ETA:

here's a clip, from about 1:54

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zozI18SK94

and it was Jonathon Palmer who posed the question, not Walker.

It went something like;

Murray Walker said:
Villeneuve is out, this means that Damon Hill... IS the 1996 World Champion...I've got a lump in my throat.
Emotion, passion, knowledge and the ability to make the viewer/listener empathise with him made Murray great.

WSB. Hockenheim Race 2 1996.

Commentators: Keith Heuwen & Julian Ryder.

The fun starts at 1:56

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF0dC9iHNrQ

Aaaaaaawwww! Slight. Aaawwww, Aaaaaaaaawwwww. AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW!

Unfortunately I can't find a clip of the 500cc bike GP at Brno in 1998 between Tady Okada and Micky D (commentators Toby M and Dennis Noyes). Okada starts the last lap about 2 secs behind Doohan, then passes him on the last uphill straight to win. Toby Moody's veins were spread far and wide across the Czech countryside during that lap, interspersed with a "woooooohoooooo" every 5 seconds from Dennis hehe

The interveiw at the end reminds me of the way Webber and Vettal handled the aftermath of their coming together in Valencia.

My favourite is Brundle telling Murray "If your name's Schumacher you're going to talk cobblers". I seen to remember Murray being silent for a while after that!

Theres been a few great post race comments from Rossi over the years..... I remember a great one a year or so back along the lines of:

"....for sure, we were f*cking fast...."

Broadening the subject just a teeny bit - Can post race interviews count please because this is just brilliant. They just don't make racing drivers like James Hunt anymore.

Enjoy this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqtA0rnqssQ

What a hero
