    Well I come from the West country in good old Blighty, unfortunately coming from this geographical location lumbers me with the voice of a farmer, with yokel overtones, so will pass on this one but if S3 ever release tractor racing, I'm your man! ;)

    Thanks for showing interest :) again we are happy for you to run some trials which will be our smaller 25 minute events prior to the big 90m events. In order to complete a trial you will be expected to stream a race with commentary from your own twitch account and send us the link to it (the saved version that is)... once we have done that and if we are happy then we can go ahead with giving you access to the larger events and give you some intro videos etc :)

    If your interested then simply start a convo with me for full details (should you have any questions)

    Can't be any worse than David Croft :D

    Or that ex F1 commentator who should have been a horse racing commentator instead, Johnathon Legard (not sure that's spelled right but don't really care).

    I'd love to trial... however I want to race too!! :confused:

    Probably need a better headset / microphone too. And for the children to foxtrot-oscar on a race evening. Not sure SWMBO would like that one!!

    Dont want to sound too rude but some of the direction on Sunday left a little to be desired, way too long early focusd on the LMP cars, i watched the first 15 mins, 0 GT3 time, a lot of flicking past battles and developing battles were ignored, at the end, last 5-6 mins or so, the LMP was pretty much settled but there was a good battle for the lead of the GT3 class and the camera was focused on one mid pack BMW GT3 car not really influencing or doing anything.
    Hope you can take it as constructive rather than critical.

    Can see where your coming from with your comments, unfortunately though, it's an "auto-director", can maybe have a word with @mape and see if there's anything he can do as it's his baby. :)

    I'd assume that the person commentating can do some kind of camera change thing?

    The person spectating (using the tool) can change cars and decide what he watches with the overlay active.. However if left to its own device then it will randomly select cars, hence the frustration...thats why i would really like to have a commentator who can follow the race, and bring the exciting stuff to the front throughout the race

    Ive never watched a live sim race and as i was toying with the idea of entering i thought i would watch a little to see what i was missing, just my observations, at least i know why now.

    It's not randomized as the auto-director , if I recall well, switches to cars who have an increment of performance and follow a pretty extensive sets of rules. I know also that recently the spectator got bugged as the camera, even if it's set to manual mode, starts cycling on its own. @MeMotS can you confirm that this is what's happening?

    Spoke to him earlier, he was joking.
    I think he just assumes people know him as an inappropriate choice as a commentator, unless you want a broadcast without a child friendly word in it? :D

    I dont know any children playing RaceRoom. Sim racing is a man's sport. Beer drinking, swearing, and lots of crashing into people at T1.

    I say give him the job :D
