Better coverage than the last two years when a lot air time was spent on
interviews, commercials and concours. Got to see some racing this time.
Wish they would do coverage at BRIC....

I just think it is a shame that they could not use any of the
footage from
the Saturday qualifying races when the weather was so nice. I guess they
would need at least an hour and a half or two hours to do that.
Given the number of races they had to cover and still squeeze in
some
interviews and coverage of the concours - that's a lot of material to fit
into
one hour (or 50 minutes after you subtract comercial time). Overall, I
thought they did a pretty good job except for that one silver Lotus Eleven
that got so much air time. They could have used some of that time to show
some other cars.
