Just watched it solely because of the .sig advert (watch an STCC video or die a horrible death...)
It was great! Watched it on YouTube - grainy / hideous as hell but despite the low video quality the immersion was tremendous. I liked the banter between the presenters (and I think the commentating must have been so much harder than you made it seem - so well done there lads), the real-world touches like making reference to performance in previous rounds and qualifying, guys being unlucky for various reasons and so on. The on-screen graphics were really good, as well as the in-car footage and replays, the parc ferme... Perhaps a bit more in-car footage would have been great, but from memory F1 broadcasts were just the same, so it felt very "real".
The fact that both commentators knew all the aspects of LFS meant that it was hugely involving - commentary about the heavy RB4, and the pounding of the front-lefts hampering the FXOs (without spelling out that FXOs are FWD...) - it really felt real. Even the mis-matched styles of Becky and Tristan worked very well - one doing the majority of the talking, the other providing the odd counterpoint. What we need is for Tristan to think up really incisive and pertinent comments while Becky adopts the saying what's going on style... more cutting dry wit Tristan!
I was amazed by the pace car, too - such a professional touch.
Just a few points:
* it was hard to tell where the battles were taking place. I'd appreciate some more on-screen graphics flagging up where abouts in the race the particular cars were
* no mention of people setting fastest lap - that might be a nice thing to put in
* think about some use of slo-mo during the crashes?
But basically you guys are doing *great* - well done - more of the same please. The weirdest thing is that I always thought that "Becky" was a "Rebecca"...
Cheers
