From the You Tube bits I've listen to, I must say that I would have enjoyed listening to guys from SPEED, rather that Channel 7. I got annoyed with Cromptons engineering, fuel calculations and the occational "sratch that" and start again with whatever he was going to say. Kept waiting for Matt White to break out with some shock investigation to how we're getting ripped off with dodgy orange juice, and I'm over Larkham's in-jokes about Skaife's wallet. Get over, he obvious must have some extra between the ears than you......

Without watching the whole thing from SPEED, well done to SPEED crew. I like that style of commentary, with everything to the point and no b/s. I hope they enjoyed themselves and come back.

In the case of Bathurst, if it was a "time buy", they had tons of ads on, so likely they did very well financially. If the ratings are good and they can pull good ads, it could end up over the next few years being a profitable earner for V8 SC.

People keep thinking that is a time buy is a negative as though you spend money and get zero in return.
Perhaps people don't realise that a "time buy" comes with advertising rights? They might think that the buyer just gets the programme time only and the TV station retains the advertising rights for that time slot.

This happens with low rent stations and ****ty time slots, where the "time buyer" is just flogging his own product in an infommercial or when political/religious groups spew their propaganda.

Had a quick chat to DW as he made his way out of the circuit to the waiting hire car (complete with SPEED decals)

Seemed genuinely impressed with the event and especially the cars.
A man with his boundless enthusiasm will do more for our series than some crap races in the Middle East...

One could say that I knew it was his first Bathurst as he was still wearing a tie...

Agreed, between him and Mike Joy, they'll open a whole new world for the series in North America.

As for the tie, the guy is old school...... You watch any of the NASCAR telecast and he'll fool around in whatever during the week, but gears up on for the race. Come to think of it, all the guys he calls the races with have ties on.

Have to admit, after looking back at it I do think the SPEED commentators did a better job than Channel 7 despite not knowing what the heck was going on a lot of the time. I watched some of the 7 coverage on online streaming and I can stand Crompton, but that other rambling bloke is a real pain in the backside.

Looking forward to Gold Coast and possibly more live races in 2013, although if V8 supercars ever gets live on SPEED regularly I will be missing out on a lot of other series I currently follow. Although Im more excited about by Austin trip in 2013.

From what I've seen the #7 team were way better, they know the cars and drivers, and the teams rarely pull a fast one on them.

Thought Diffey would have lead the Speed coverage as Joy and DW weren't up to speed.

DW's lap with JB was stupid and would have been better left in the can.

I wished they had used Diffey and Fish in the commentary box instead of the pitlane, Im sure everybody knows about Diffey but I think Calvin Fish is a fantastic commentator and would do great alongside Diffey. I do stand that for their first time, DW and Joy did a great job though and could potentially bring in some casual NASCAR fans to watch the race.

Definitely it was better for attracting American fans that DW and Joy rocked up to the mountain.

Thanks for posting the links. I really enjoyed watching the Speed coverage. I think the American commentators did an excellent job, they explained everything very well and related it to NASCAR so their fans could follow it and they were interesting without shouting and no stupid "in jokes".

Agreed PVDA.

Didn't an Aussie drag racer slide off into the crowd in Tennessee last year killing a few people?

Great publicity, exciting, but very risky
