Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

I think I started a sort of ortographic fashion there. I must be the new Wilko

You're learning!

Right, watching the full 135 laps, 250 miles from a commentators viewpoint; this sums up my race:

:doh:

That's all I have to say, and am going to say about the race on this public forum. That's it, no other words can actually describe what that race was without getting a bit offensive, so I'm not going to...

Quote from JayEyeBee :

Interesting commentary. (I've listened a couple of times to the desciption of my picture, but I can't make out one word. I suspect it isn't complimentary )

I tried to be as un-mean as possible, but tbh, I stuggled :doh:

I called Randy 'Captain Hook' if that is any consolation.

Quote from z-ro 8 :

Who's got the hottest avatar?

Atm, Wilko.
Hottest chick i've seen

I lol'd.

You should have put a poll on this. I'd have pwned.

Quote from boothy :

Big enough so Wilko can print it out in A3 and make grass drifting noises when it's up on his wall.

I'm sorry, I missed this post regarding my grass drifting noises.

OOOOOOOOOOH! OOOOOOOOOOOOH! AWWWWWWWWWWW!

It's that time of year again folks. It's time again for The Great LFS Race, and we'll be following all the action from the first wave of the green to the checkered flag at the finish, courtesy of MultiBC. Chris 'Hindhaugh' Wilkinson will be joined by all sorts of creature, including Michael 'Burger Boy!' Passingham and Thilo 'Potato' Falkenberg, everyones screaming abilities ready to be put to the test.

With CoRe Racing's Kenneth O'Keefe lining up on the front row with his close friend Shayne Sheppard beside him, and 28 of the best stock car racers LFS has to offer packing up behind them, we are guaranteed thrills, spills, speed and a mass of excitement.

So get yourself a refreshing beverage, maybe a snack treat (I personally would recommend crisps, perhaps chocolate if you like that kind of thing), get sitting comfortably and come join us as we set away at 3:50pm GMT! (4:50pm CET - 5:50pm EET - 11:50am EDT)

He's go it down to either a JVC or Pioneer, but it's a really tough decision.

He's totally overlooked Bose's range of car stereos. Pricy, but PERFECT for audiophiles.

Quote from Mr.46 :

This "Fepic ail" is starting to get famous

I'm the first person to bloody say it! (Excuse the OT)

Quote :

Then surely you know how it feels to be laughed at when you have put in a lot of effort.

Yes we do.

I love how we're shown to be 'full of ourselves' and 'arrogant'. I remember when I first started broadcasting, I did the Experion IMA OWT. You can still watch it OD here. Lets be honest, it was awful. I had the complete mickey taken out of me for it, flamed, ranted at and was sent packing (by one Mr Ford ). So what did I do? I asked for advice from some of the best broadcasters in LFS, I asked for support from the46, and after alot of hard work and a bit of elbow grease, we were putting on some good quality shows such as the Murray Motorsport Cup and the end of the first TBO Challenge season.

But this is what gets on my back about this stream in perticular. Oldnavy has come to me and to my colleagues, he's asked for advice that we have very kindly provided. I have helped run and shown people streaming how to run the equipment, how to use tools such as TV Director and I'm also trying to get new commentators and broadcasters in, trying to use the rest of this TBOC season and next to draft some up and coming commentators in and see what they can do. But it's when I'm not avaliable or they decide to go on without support, and they seem to not have listened to a word I have said, a thing I have shown them. What could of been a good stream of some good racing has turned into mush because they haven't taken in the support I gave them. And don't you really think that makes me feel unbearably stupid that I've wasted hours of my time?

So then when MoE misses 20 minutes due to an error with MultiBC, that we have no control over, how is it fair that we get so much flack and flaming? You saw that when we put on a good show from the final round, you'll see it again (hopefully) on Saturday with the Kyoto 250. But why do we get all of the hassle when it's not our fault, yet when people don't listen to the advice and help we give them they just get a sympathy vote? OK, so I probably shouldn't have said the likes of "This makes MoE look like the official F1 coverage..." without putting a huge JOKE sticker on it obviously, but still...

I give in, I really do... *sigh*

Quote from menantoll :

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

These people are having a go. They may not be as good as NDR at doing this stuff but at least they are having a go.

Deko, you dissapoint me, I thought you were a nice guy. You and Chris should be encouraging these guys not publicly laughing at them.

I have spent several hours with different broadcasts supporting and in most cases ending up running broadcasts for Oldnavy, giving advice and support. When I have shown him how to run things and it turns into a stream like this one, I feel after every person in LFS and the next guy seems to slag MoE and IGTC off that I can at least have a little joke too.

/rant.

Quote from manneF1 :

Well, the screen is SO small, I cant see anything

The smaller the screen the better...

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Smelled the fail, decided that I just couldn't be bothered to show up, did something more interresting instead

All in all, a good decision.

This makes MoE look like the official F1 coverage...

Quote from Intrepid :

nice atmosphere and friendliness? This is F1 not some horrid garden party!

It's not boxing either. (think Brazil 09)

Quote from Intrepid :

He is brining quite a large sum to go racing. You want F1 to be more like arrive and drive indoor karting?

Least that's a good atmosphere, friendly, entertaining and tbh, better to watch than F1 is now...

Quote from PMD9409 :

I heard there's a hurricane coming through in Japan next weekend.

I heard earthquakes.

Now that would make for some entertaining racing.

Quote from Seb66 :

Wooohoooooo

Ooooh Aaaaaah - Cantona!

Hope to see y'all watching the MoE today. 14:00GMT on MultiBC's Stream III as said in OP. Just thought I'd bump to remind, as it'll be a cracker.

Don't forget to come along and watch the LLWS tonight folks!

Quote from BigTime :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEc2I6NIIN8 for those that wanna watch in 720p.

Nice hat BTW wilko! :P

Thanks!

2 Quid at ASDA that.

Well Nolan, a terrific summary of what is Masters of Endurance! Amazing video.

Just a shame that LFS needs an injection of newness as it were, in my opinion, to get MoE 10-11 anywhere near the standard of 09-10. I'm not really sure how 08-09 went as I wasn't involved and didn't watch it, but I know that future seasons will struggle to match it unless something drastic happens.

Quote from Doorman :

Are you Chris Wilkinson? What happened? You were steaming off into the sunset.

I am Chris Wilkinson. I was flying, just set a 1:02:505 and then binned it in the chichane :doh:

About to turn my first few laps of this Legend at LRP tonight. Anyone else coming?

Quote from z-ro 8 :

that's it, Carl is banned from my servers.....dick.

I just spat my tea out with laughter.
