Commentary at Bathurst; David Addison?
Haven't run across this on any of the other threads but I'd like to give a big thumbs up to the Pommy bloke who helped out in commentary over the weekend. I'm sure his name is David Addison. For someone who apparently has only been here twice before (for the two 24Hr races) he did a splendid job.

Had no trouble with pronunciations for a start. (unlike some...)
Knew the recent Bathurst history very well.
Gave plenty of background to the European drivers.
Named the corners correctly.
He just seemed to have a "feel" for the place.
He even took some friendly Pommy bashing on the chin.
How refreshing!

Sorry Barry Oliver but this guy runs rings around you......

Memo to V8SA. Pay Mr Addison's fare out next year.

PS Luke West also did a great job. I thought the on-course PA was the best it's been for yonks!
