why do...commentators like Brian Jones notice place changes a lap or two after everyone else ?

Why do...meetings at Brands nearly always run late ??:confused:

Why do...posters like Snapper Baz send stuff to the wrong place...should be Trackside...oooops!

I supose it is the same for most of us Motorsport spectators. We see a lot that the commentators don't, and think that we would be able to see it as well. However, I think if we were up in that box, we would miss a lot under pressure! Would still love to give it a go tho!!

Yep, me too!

Its a tough job, particularly over a long race.

How do you fancy doing a lap chart at Le Mans this year.......

Answer to question 1 - dunno - could be quantum
Answer to question 2 - get them to put in a circuit curfew - you'd be amazed at the difference it makes to the event running time!

i think it's something like the rule that makes any train you're running late for on time, and any one you're there 10 minutes early ready to catch run late...

...and every train you arrive on time for, runs early! (I know, it happened to me!!)

Of course it might just be the "dear old Brian Jones" rule.

EP Brands does have a curfew of 18.30.

Baz, it used to be BARC meetings that always ran late. Nowadays it's BRSCC. You can't win huh

Why does one of the Castle Combe commentators always talk about motorbike grass-track racing when there's a car race going on right in front of him?

And why do they both come out with the immortal line "I didn't see what happened there......"

I'll see if they come out with any jems this Saturday.
