Frankly, I don't miss them. Dorsey's announcing seems like it would work better in a NASCARish series and Calvin's accent is a bit grating after a while. IMO of course. I hope Aussies don't take offense that that statement though! Brian Till is a local, literally in my case, so his voice/accent is just fine in comparison. I also like how Till's driving career is a bit of an inside joke on the broadcasts. It's mainly self-deprecating humor it seems.
I found Speed's Le Mans coverage to be so bad that I had to find a EuroSport link. EuroSport's commentators were pretty bad as well (except for Hindy, it was funny how much the broadcast quality improved when he came on), but it was still much more tolerable than Speed's broadcast.
