You really need to have the commentator commentate on the video footage rather than what they can see live on the day out of the comms box window. It's bizarre watching the battle for 1st around turn 8 on the video but hearing about 6th place nudging the guy in 5th around turn 2. It's great commentary but needs to be set up so that he's commentating specifically on what the viewer can see. Example is at 7:15, watching the top 2 but the battle for 3rd is being talked about, then a kid smashes into the barriers and it's not even referenced in the commentary because he's watching a different part of the track in real life rather than commentating on the video footage. Really confusing and frustrating to watch
So you cover the track with CCTV then completely ignore track limits, particularly on the first hairpin and sunny bend. Is that what the drivers are paying for?

Agreed. I wasn't particularly impressed with the coverage - not staying with battles for any length etc.
