2012 BTCC - Who will be Ben Edwards' Replacement on ITV4?
Merry Christmas everybody.
With Ben Edwards stepping down from BTCC commentary to take on BBC1's F1 coverage, who will be his replacement on ITV4? I can't find any rumours anywhere, so let's start some!
I'm going to hazard a guess and say John Hindhaugh of Radio le Mans fame, only because he replaced Ben for several events in 2009/10. Who else has the potential to be the main commentator for ITV?BTCCCrazy.co.uk

I would absolutely love to have Brian Blessed as a commentator.

I love John on the Radio Le Mans broadcasts, but that's clearly his main passion and I don't think he was suited to the TOCA supports when he did them. Besides, his commentary style rather suits the longer-distance races like Le Mans, where excitement does occur, but not every other corner, and there's more time for analysis and informal chat.
It wouldn't surprise me if they promoted Richard John Neil from the TOCA support commentaries, and/or even Simon Hill - two ex-drivers didn't work too badly for F1 on the BBC this year. Although I think Tim Harvey and Simon work best as foils for the main commentator, and I would be expecting Simon to be trying to sell me potatoes at two bob a pound (it's a voice thing).https://wordpress.com/stats/insights/stugrovesf1.wordpress.com

Hindy isn't a huge fan of BTCC.
It's like asking Martin Haven to do F1.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

Was never a huge fan of Ben's - so I'm not that fussed.
Would love to see Barry Nutley commentating again (remember he did a few in 97?) or Charlie!

I would like Charlie Cox back as his style suits action packed racing, while Moto GP has become a bit dull in the last year or 2 and isnt really his natural subject!
