Yeah, the guy just admitted hes practically learning as he goes week by week sounds like he has real expertise. Oh well the most important thing is that he noticed Tony Stuart has the coolest visor in NASCAR I don't understand what everyones complaining about with information like that on offer. :pQuote:
All of the commentators on our Sky Sports channels are selected on the basis of their expertise in their particular field
i think that broadcast was a vast improvement on the Shootout. it started off a bit sloppy with absolutely no pre-race coverage from Speed/Fox and returning to the action a bit later, but as the show went on it started to improve. i found myslef shouting at the TV (at sky anyway!) a lot less. i liked the increased coverage from the track between the 2 races and an incresed number of post-race interviews after race 2. the guest seemed to know a bit about the sport. when i heard he was from autosport, i thought "oh no, he'll only know about F1" but he was quite knowledgable
bad points:
- the broadcast was in SD with no widescreen
- a few occations of going to the Speed commentary a bit late. Keith needs to learn to cut his hand overs down to only a few words. "now back to the track" would be suitable, not waffling on
- an open addmission that he knows next-to-nothing about NASCAR
better coverage of gatorade duals ,less time in studio more time with speed , i enjoyed it more ,come on guys pre race and a bit more post race and you got it.Please. :rolleyes:
Yeah no widescreen, was that beacuse it was a SPEED feed?
I thought it was better than Saturday's show.
I'm pleased to hear again tonight that they are taking on board our comments.

i dont think its an issue with the duels being on speed because speed have just launched a HD channel, so it would have been produced in HD
There was a High definiton widescreen feed to Europe, so do not know why we got 4:3Quote:

This is Sky's first year of coverage, they were bound to use an existing presenter and Keith Huewen has covered all manner of Motorsport for them in the past. He is enthusiastic, energetic, passionate about all motorsport, and he is HONEST. Would you prefer him to b*******t his way through, isn't it better he admits he is learning the finer details as he goes along, and doesn't he look like he is enjoying it? I take him all day every day over some geek spouting technicalities.
Wake up...This programme has not been instigated to keep the relatively small number of hardcore enthusiats happy. If we all want coverage to continue and grow then it needs to appeal to much wider audience and the presenters last night seemed a perfect partnership to do this.
Give Sky a break please (no I don't work for them).
I tend to agree, I thought last night's effort was a significant improvement on the shootout and it appears that Sky have taken a lot of the critical comments on board. I decided to wait until after the 500 to add my two pence worth as the full race will give us a good idea of what to expect for the rest of the season.Quote:

Hopefully sundays even better.
I know Sky always like to use there own people on Sky Sports, like there NFL coverage. But this time they should take heed of the fans and give us what we want and PAY for. :confused:
