I did some live commentary on a British event back in March, what I did there was talk the cars into view, then let the cars do the talking and only talk again as they went out of view.
The viewer doesn’t need to be told what they can see, and that’s the issue with having very good radio commentators (who paint a beautiful picture with words) doing TV commentary , where you need to compliment the image with insight.
It’s a difficult job and the 2 1/2 hr stint I did was challenging, so over three days I dread to imagine, but currently it’s very muddled.
