I was pretty impressed with A1 this weekend.
I took the plunge and subscribed to the sports package (father in-law wanted to watch the Chelsea game earlier in the week anyway) and watched my first race weekend.
Good points:
1. Georgie Thompson (sp?) running the show for Sky.....grrrrr.
2. Ben Edwards and John Watson commentating (Ben really should replace James Allen)
3. Close racing (GB vs Brazil was interesting incident....it was definitely robbies corner)
4. Mad moments to spice things up (some of the driving was errr interesting)
5. It had something hap-hazard about it, so wasnt so up its nose as F1.
6. Lack of traction control etc was excellent....loved to see them all slip sliding around.
Bad points:
1. onboard cameras were a joke and if they are continually this bad, why bother
2. Although the driving was entertaining, some moves were stupid. Many drivers need more experience....even some of the oldies.
3. Technical infringements were sooooo minor, it looked like they had decided who they wanted to penalise and then went and found a reason.
Overall, excellent, but Im still not decided whether its worth the extra 10quid a month on my already expensive sky subscription.......BBC for 2006/7 thats what I say.
