well i personally thought it was absolutely shit.
as someone who watches a lot of programs on Motors TV i dont think it did any one any justice.

i have mates round to watch etc and everyone said the same if it wasnt for knowing people competing in Time Attack etc they would have turned it of after 10 minutes and i personally wasnt inspired to the point of cannot wait for next round on TV.

i watched the ford XR2 racing afterwards and they did nothing special and it was a good program.
all they did was speak over the footage and show a lot of action on the circuit. but they zoomed out so it showed lots of car going round a corner etc which allowed you see them struggling to keep on track whilst pushing the limits etc with a bit of in car footage and i really enjoyed that a couple of really short interview.

one of lads had been asking me about knockhill last year so i put him last years program on and everyone said it was better edited and a better a program in general.

I've just watched it and i thought it was OK but the camera work is awful, the bloke commentating/interviewing was rubbish and poor old Paul at Zen looked totally cream crackered, and i got the impression he really couldn't be arsed with the interview. Don't blame him!!

As for the BP crew, i only saw a couple of the cars and that was pretty brief.

I hope the next one is better :)
Buggers cancelled my op just a couple of days before it was due. Inconsiderate barstewards!! :rant:
