Not heard Toby before, but after having a listen on YouTube, I think this could be a good choice. He seems excitable and passionate, and that's all I really want from a commentator. I want them to put me in the moment, and understand the significance of every manoeuvre. Looking forward to seeing how he does.

Few races in and I have to say that I'd rather they'd bumped Simon Hill up to the space, Moody just gets so much wrong and watching the Porsches at Oulton today Hill is having to keep correcting something that Moody's saying. For example Glyn Geddy (or whatever he's called) being shown facing the wrong way and then a ProAm 2 driver being shown also off and Moody saying that they must have had contact, despite the fact that they were at opposite ends of the grid. Also a guy spinning at the chicane and Moody praising the camera man for not leaving his post when it was clearly a remote operated boom.
He's not awful and there are worse choices, I just think that Hill does a better job and is immersed in the TOCA package that means he has a better understanding of what's actually going on.You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Indeed. And he can string a coherent sentence together, unlike Harvey most of the time. A good co-commentator.
You lot still here?!

I personally would love to see Tim Harvey and Charlie Cox commentating. Charlie Cox was great to listen to back in the day, his commentary brought a funny side to it. I would prefer anyone over this Moody who really hasn't cut it so far, always calling cars by the wrong driver.

I'd like an option to have no commentator. I don't want to sound big-headed at all but most of the time I think I spot things before the commentators do.

As a Moto GP commentator Toby moody is brilliant along side Julian Ryder and barely ever makes a mistake, but in the BTCC it has been totally different sadly. He seems to change his style for the BTCC and still makes a fair few basic errors that he should have gotten over by now!
