No-one has posted the Crompton "big guns" video yet.
That always gets a run in this thread chats |

I agree that more focus on the lap as per is needed by the 12 Hour commentators in the shoot out however over a Bathurst 1000 or Bathurst 12 Hour coverage - I will take Johnny Palmer, Hindy and Craill over the hyperbole of "pressure motorsport" of Crompton and Skaife |

-- For serious though, I enjoy the 12 hour team and the Supercars team. Crompton and Larkham are great overall IMO and I never thought I'd say I like Greg Murphy! Skaife though, I feel like he has some real flaws which are based on his success as a driver. It seems to me as if he isn't able to remove himself from the action - I get the impression that he's thinking about what HE would do in that situation, rather than talking about what's happening at the time. |

RLM call plenty of shootouts each year, including this weekend at the N24
Compare Crompton now with Crompton in 2001, he spends little time calling the actual lap here, and neither do the other commentators https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djhL-Oarrw0 |

Back then, the catagory could sell itself. Now it needs the commentators, etc to envirgorate the viewers.

and they still are not as good as 2001, at least in 2001 they are talking about Ambrose the bathurst rookie from the start of the lap and he was the 5th of 15 guys out as well by the way, we had a spare $5 we threw on ambrose for pole that year, covered a few rounds that night Last edited by peckstar; 11 May 2018 at 12:07. |

Again, in your opinion.
I'm a fan of Hindy and team, very entertaining over the course of a full week-end live at the circuit, and bear in mind his commentary is designed for live streaming over internet. I know he's not to everyone's taste, but then who is? |

Their job is to describe what is happening for the people who are streaming, they didnt do it!. That not opinion at all. The evidence is there, plain as day and they dont need biased apologists to defend them man up and admit they did a woeful job |

Ive watched that lap from this year's 12 hour. It doesn't get close to 'Woeful' IMO. I thought it was more than passable.
PS That BMW is sex. |

And somehow, the local M6 team seems to dial the speed out of the M6 at every track it runs other than here... a variety of paydrivers seemingly clogging up its competitivess, and sometimes its body panels & mechanicals

Indeed. It’s a situation many have been wondering about for as long as the programme has existed. Maybe the step up from a one make series was too big for the team? Maybe the chassis they have has some deficiencies that still have to be sorted?...The musical chairs driver wise doesn’t help either. |

The other fact is that there are many fans around the world, including Australia, who like the RLM style of commentary. Someone must like them, RLM broadcasts on radio, streaming and Television on major and minor motorsport events justabout 52 weekends a year, every year, for clients the likes of the ACO, IMSA, SRO, Supercars, Yeehah Events and so on. From that list of organisations who employ their services, sounds like they do anything but a woeful job. |

I love listening to other people’s opinion, even if I don’t always agree with them. That’s where this forum comes in

Had in Radio One boys on during the weekend for N24 - they had some great guests pass by and streaming on the net was excellent
Nothing beats in car footage in the wet and in the dark with GT3 cars running real close and weaving in and out of the traffic The spectator grandstands are getting better too |
