    haha, yeah Andy, its a great pic... a lot of people asked me if we were stopped... there jaws dropped when I said nope, that was pretty much normal race speed through there for me, lol, I was getting a sinking feeling at that point hahah.

    Cosmo said to me afterwards... "I knew you were behind me, and I said to myself, OH GOD NO, HAMISHHHHHH, please dont hit me... AGAIN!!!" lol

    I'm doubting there'll be any coverage of the excursions though... here's hoping

    Another disappointing programme IMO.....editing was odd and too much coverage on the front pack, which I enjoyed, but the other's must be pretty p*ssed off at the lack of coverage.

    I agree..... they still haven't solved the sound issue either.... too much background noise during interviews. Still needs less banter and more racing.

    They try to make a good go at some sort of structure but it doesn't come together in the programme.

    You get what you pay for though and let's be fair....it's better than the other championships!

    Did anyone else notice in race two that f@nny of a photographer running away when the celebrity car was heading across the gravel towards the tyres at Scotsman? He looked a right plum.

    If I'm honest, I thought she was going much faster, was gonna end up sending tyres flying at me, rise up over the air bags and drop down on top of me. As it is, she stopped 10 foot short of the tyres. But I'm alive, so I'm happy.

    Thought the coverage tonight was not bad. I like the racing/banter balance. There is a sound level imbalance during trackside interviews, but that must be difficult to fix. The thing that annoys me the most is the ad breaks in the middle of races. Why they can't show a race through to the end then break, I don't understand.

    I know Andy it bugs most of us but until we move onto our prime live spot on BBC1 just befoe the Grand Prix its gonna have stay that way

    Chris Pearson is right, we get what we pay for. The English championship coverage is terrible but their entrance fee is massive. I am happy on the whole with what we have.
