Good news Ted Kravtiz has been signed by BBC for the F1 pitlane reporting so will not be doing the BTCC coverage!
Look out I have been to the Jason Plato school of driving. I take no prisoners!!

Overall I think he did a decent job. I remember the first meeting he did and it was if he picked up a copy of the race programme/Autosport on Sunday morning.
Presenting live is completely different to doing commentary/features/interviews. Brundle did a good job at Fuji replacing Rider but I got the impression he was out of his comfort zone.
Anyone remember Matt Roberts first presenting stint for MotoGP a couple of years ago at the Chinese GP? The poor lad literally looked like he was about to wet himself with stage fright.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

God no Steve Rider. Who would he suck up to this time?
Just messing, i actually think he did a pretty good job of BTCC as he didn't seem to have any favourites, the way presenters should be.100% out and out Ferrari fan.

Well he was like a flagship Presenter when the BTCC was on the BBC i know he used to present every round, was there for when the BBC did their live races and i think he narrated the old review videos too, he looked like though he took a more backwards step when they scaled back the live coverage before 2001's farcical offering.

That's the best news I've heard this month. No more arrogant Ted, I'm not a violent person but I would so love to smack him one because of the way he talks to the drivers.
