LeeM Posted 29January, 2020 Report Share Posted 29January, 2020 Craillsy is a brilliant commentator. He's a Porsche nut who does the Carrera Cup here and Shannons Nationals. Also owns a 944. Crompton is good, but bloody annoying on the V8 telecast when he's interviewing people I'm really looking forward to this one, as there are some Aussies in Porsches that have a very good chance at winning it. I'm hoping Matt Campbell wins again, though it would be great to see Lowndes on the podium too. Raven and JV911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right - listening to the Daytona coverage, I was really impressed by the commentary team's knowledge re WEC. Not so sure about Beretta though....

The whole Shannons Nationals commentary team, Craillsy, Greg Rust, Aaron Noonan, Matt Nulty and the stupendously lovely Emma Notafrancesco, are the best in the business, and I reckon they should be doing all the work at the 12 hour in my opinion. Did I mention Emma? She's lovely 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think they'd have that sorted given Bathurst hosts a number of enduros with multiple drivers. To those there in person, were the cars rather quiet, or was the TV broadcast not up to scratch? Couldn't hear them very well - particularly over that pommy geezer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick911 Posted 2February, 2020 Report Share Posted 2February, 2020 Nothing in any of the news-sites (Age, ABC, News.com.au) on the race yesterday, whereas this was sold by all commentators and drivers yesterday as 'internationally one of the big GT races'. ?? What am I missing here? Good race by the way, and deserved win for Bentley, but man, what would've/could've been if that rain had come down 2 hours earlier...

LeeM Posted 3February, 2020 Report Share Posted 3February, 2020 @patrick911 From what I've read here n there, it's the international drivers who rate the Bathurst 12 hour highly as a big event, more for it's history as a track than the race itself. Many of them have watched the V8's over the years and have wanted to drive there, so maybe it's more of a novelty than anything else. They have to put up with driving the same boring old circuits in Europe, like Spa, Nurburgring and Hockenheim (sarcasm), and Bathurst is just something new, yet some of the drivers were very animated in saying it's the best track in the world and very tough physically. I think the commentators are told to say that about the event, yet they also speak highly of the place (Craillsy is a local SA lad and Porsche nut, so he would say that anyway). As a whole, I thought the coverage was great and at times very exciting racing, and even though I'm not much of a fan of endurance racing because of the strategic side of it and not fender bashing racing, I enjoyed it Raven and patrick911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
