Hi all !

Now dont get me wrong as I love all the footage and have collected all roadracing related footage since the late eighties and before.

Now tonights coverage of the NW200 was great but there was too much helicopter footage , I know its great and shows the slipstreaming but every 15 or 20 seconds we were back in the air , talk about overkill !

It just gets boring.

I remember the footage from years ago and enjoyed the ground level coverage originally at the GP's then the TT and initially at the first road races covered by the Beeb.

With all the static cmeras being place so high for a long view it does'nt give viewers the spectator eye view of the speed and close proximity of the action, and ruins the spectacle that all we enjoy from the roadside.

I'll say it again it just all looks the same.

Cant we have a mixture of all types ?

Surley for the price of one of the Helicopters we could have had some ground level cameras roving and collecting footage as they moved along some parts of the circuit?

This could be edited in to the high static cameras and helicopter footage later to give a greater feel for the racing .

I believe the footage tonight was great but it did not give the impression of the speed as the lenses are so long they detract from the distances covered.

Anyway rant over , I just hope they dont do the same at this years TT or I'll be F***ng fuming .

Greenlight please take note for the TT!
