By all means invite John Hindhaugh etc.. down as guests to compliment the local callers (like Channel 7 used to with Neville & Richard Hay)

But what sense is there to use a completely foreign commentary team to commentate a race that is primarily Australian? The majority of entries in the lower classes were Australian, the TV coverage was geared towards local audiences (with the live SpeedTV Australia coverage etc...)

Also remember that the trackside PA commentary was the same as the internet feed & the SpeedTV coverage.
