I dont envy what those camera dudes had to go through at Knockhill I can tell you.

Considering the weather I think they did a good job, worth half hour of your life to watch it tomorrow!

Just watched this and I have to say that it is quite possibly the worst coverage yet.

The production did not tell a story of what was going on at all, very little reference to the times posted by people. A completely jumbled set of videos, one moment wet then dry, then pro class then a few club cars. Was this not a competitions with a structured timetable and objective?

Far too long on interviews, not enough on track action and no explanation as to what the objective was. This was not helped by the jumbled videos.

And as the the American commentator............

I hate to say that this would not help me or any others get sponsors or gain interest in the TA series as the coverage is so poor and pretty embarassing.

Clash productions need to watch the Motors TV coverage of Powernights - this is how grass roots motorsport coverage should be - informative and very knowledgeable commentary and very entertaining to watch.

What amazes me is that the EDC TV coverage is good - what goes wrong on TA tv production?

Hope it's on again as I completely forgot to record it. I was still trying to nail the car together for today. Sorry Nick :oops:
