Commentators are mince if you expect to tune in and get the full on vocal descripion of the piccies - LM isn't like that though... Those guys are working for half the race each (that's 12 hours talking) and I think they do a sterling job.

They remind me of Radio Le Mans, who occasionally comment on what's going on in the race, but spend more time looking behind the scenes and talking to teams etc - it's all you can do in a 24hr race.

I still tune into RLM on the net to get the feeling of being there again... Next year methinks

Here here... I was up for most of the night and some of the commentary had me in stitches...you could tell they were all knakered but they were still having a laugh. Some of them had been up since scrutineering on the Wed!. It was class some of the comments they were picking up on from the Motors TV forum.

Paper DBR9 anyone? Visit http://www.extazaweb.sk/astonmartin
http://prototyp.org is worth a look too for stuff that is planely impossible to build out of paper.

just one of the insiteful conversations the commentators had during the night which I picked up on through my beer haze.
