retro I think you'll find its for this round only. Leigh has been following and commmentating the champ cars all year so I guess his commitments are doubled for the weekend, commentating both the champcars and the v8's for seriously 10.

Now ifonly we can get rid of James Allen from the F1's, the world will be a happy place.

Diffey shouts a lot, often at very little. What's Crompton doing this weekend???

As far as I know Leigh has not been commenting on the Champ Cars this year. He has been doing work on the Rolex Sportcar Series and various Speedworld Challenge Series.
I also believe he has quite Speed Channel in the US to head home. |

I like Leigh Diffey, he brings a lot of enthusiasm to the commentary box.Met him at a FTR ride day at Eastern Creek a few years back & found him to be a great bloke.

Can't we have 3 commentators?
IMO, Crompton, Diffey and Woods are the best commentators we have ever had, and Beattie does a great job in the pits. If only we could have Barry in the pits again, that would be awesome  Anyway, all we need to do is get rid of that Rust idiot and the whole telecast would be spot on. Paul Gover anybody?

The best part of the coverage we saw today was when the commentary box was stone silent, and we got to see Richo take the #11 car round the track, without interpretation from the 3 wise men...
 I did however enjoy Roberto Moreno's comments on ChampCar qualifying... he had similar views to Cromley, with the benefit of recent experience. Perhaps Roberto could replace James Allen, I mean he did drive in F1 all those moons agi |

Leigh Diffy is alot funny than that grinning yelling pretty boy Matthew White.
Channel Tens approach to V8 telecasts has changed slightly of late... wonder why? Last edited by DAVID PATERSON; 26 Oct 2004 at 08:05. |

I understand an amount of market research has been conducted into the television coverage, of the general public, to determine whether they watch the coverage, why they do or dont, and what can be done to make it better...
Its no different to other sports having similar surveys done... Perhaps Seriously are trying to tailor the package to be what the punters actually want to see....  Funny though as the "committed" fans in here would give them plenty of insight, but seem to remain voices in the wind... |

Maybe they can put him in the pits instead of forcing his yelling upon us in the commentary box.
He was quite bearable in the pits during the CART race. |

Thanks for coming back I say Leigh. Some people will never be satisfied with who ever is in the chair, whilst ever its cromley and Diffey Im happy, the rust is annoying but does a good job............he told us so at the end of the champ car race
Good team for 2005 Ch 10, well done |

I didn't know who it was in the commentary box with Cromley, but I thought he did an awesome job.
Bill Woods is clueless... he could probably call an odour sniffing contest in strong north westerly, but he's clueless about v8's. |

thought he sounded pretty good - apart from the times he was doing Murray Walker impressions!

Bill Woods has lost my support. He thinks Mark Aiston is funny.
