I'm just catching up now, the Fordwater Trophy was an incredible race, looking forward to St Mary's!

Yeah, I've popped up on the live feed.

Its such good quality, honestly,I think better quality than BBC or ITV produce and its FOC on YouTube

If was nit picking, would say commentary could bea bit more informative, a bit more “Murray Walker”

I think the size of the American cars compared to the Minis must of been mentioned 50 times…..

Any idea why Romain Dumas started from back of the grid ?, he was certainly fast…maybe too fast

Is the higher level drone view a new addition? Certainly adds to the footage

I agree RE commentary. They kept saying the Aurelia in the Fordwater trophy had chucked out one of it's gears which was patently wrong. I think much more likely it was one of the drive couplings off the rear wheel. A single gear going walkabout across the track would be an absolutely catastrophic failure. I don't expect them to know the mechanical ins-and-outs of everything that's just not realistic. But they should know you can't just drop a gear out of a car and keep going for half a lap. Not to mention the errant part looked nothing like a gear from a 'box, it was far too chunky only had about 5 teeth! (End of rant). Ed Foster is great on the grid though.

As for Dumas he missed Practice/Quali on Friday because he was still at the Nurburgring, which meant he had to start at the back. It made for a great race either way. To start at the back and miss out on 2nd by a couple of milliseconds is incredible. I have been thoroughly enjoying the live stream all weekend. My top tip is to come to it a bit late and rewind, that way you can skip through all the filler chat!

I’m back home from Goodwood now and God isn’t the commentary just like listening to kids TV presenters, it’s so dumbed down now!! Ruins a great spectacle.

Some epic battles in the St Mary's Part 2 race (5.25pm on the live feed) between the Minis, Mk2 Jag and V8 Ford Galaxies!
