Ok but it was the usual unimaginitive effort which treated the event as if the results of the races were the be all and end all.More on why drivng the cars is so different to modern day cars illustrated by in car shots(slipstreaming , proper gearboxes etc) and also some more history on particular cars and drivers would be good .
That's fine, John -- positive thinking. It would be great to have cameras in the paddock, vox pop with attendees, garage analyses of great cars. If you have ever been vox popped on the street, you'll know that -- surprise -- you have nothing to say about something completely disconnected with your thoughts. Successful vox pop interviews are the result of tapping dozens of people on the shoulder. Expensive.
And garage analyses of great cars? Race commentators know the grid in general, but when there are so many replicas around, you'd be confident to stand next to Fangio's Ferrari and pronounce that it was the winning car. Garage analysis requires that somebody checks facts before reciting seller blurb in front of a camera.
Talk about the technology, pop down to preparation outfits and describe how two 1950s F2 cars have different gearboxes. Pull apart F3 and F2 cars from the 1970s or 1980s, and explain how technology and economics and marketing worked for different designers.
