@@RamRaidDiecast well done! Definitely going to be close

@@jerryrodrigues1390 well done!

Well done. Don’t mind getting beaten by you.

😆

You will get there Paul! Thanks for the feedback as always. Hopefully we don't have any animal rights protestors at the track next time..

I swear I hear that one cow say "NooOOoo" 🤣

@@Chris_Hood 😆🤣😎

Sounds like a winning combination!

@@numbskulldiecastracing and green s too lol

Green is a very pursuasive colour.. Thanks for the great write up as always! And noted, I know what you mean as I felt the same listening to it back. Admittedly I was in a hurry to get this one out so I could squeeze another one in before I am away for Christmas. Will keep it in mind as I am editing on the next one

@@davis1228 thank you very much for the constructive feedback. I'd love your feedback on our latest (Mario Kart) video. A lot more work has gone into he voiceovers. Thanks for watching

@@jasonsanders-fox5131 thanks Jason. Coming soon, looks like the last team have just landed at Heathrow ✈️ 🇬🇧

@@lobotomyscam1051 😂 Agreed

Thanks for the great feedback Chris! I focused a lot more on the voiceover for this one to improve the natural flow so I am really glad it shows. And yes AI is getting very good, in a lot of different areas. Tempted to run a modified Mario Kart tournament next year, although they are probably not so easy to add weight to but I'm sure it's doable

@XRDiecastRacing Races & Fun held a modified MarioKart event that saw a ton of response from builders. To be sure, there were some unexpected designs since the rules allowed for triple digit max weight in grams and an overall length of four inches. I believe you would desire to keep builds a bit closer than that to the canonical feel of these karts. Lots of leeway available even if you kept the limits to 70g and overall length of 2.5 inches?

Pretty sure I saw Shy Guy do it

@@everegenx thanks, I've been planning one just working on some other upgrades first

@@ItsAkioo I'll dig one out

Thanks! Collecting the Mario Kart Hot Wheels was what got me into diecast racing in the first place, so it will always have a place on my channel 🚙

Haha. Trying to shake things up a bit and try other voices as I was getting a lot of negative feedback about unnatural sounding commentary - but Joe hasn't gone completely!

@@XRDiecastRacing so long as you provide very specific scripting for Joe Frank & Ruby, that helps bring out their individualism, I am completely fine with the use of A.I. voices. When a host naturally voices two characters and uses simple modulation software, that's just one level. Hypothetically, if I were reading the script with roles redacted and can still flawlessly determine who is saying what, that's a benchmark to strive for. One thing, just please let _Joe_ handle any British-specific idioms. Frank's delivery there does not hit my ear well, sorry if I've visited that before. So sorry for whatever criticism you're getting in the comments. With all the improvements in the tech of late, good writing can make even these artificially generated commentators quite entertaining! We're seeing a much wider range of emotion in them now.

@@Chris_Hood this is really helpful, thanks Chris. Ultimately I have to use AI, as I have nowhere to record the voiceovers without waking the kids up etc at night. I'm also not good at it myself. Part of the issue with my AI voiceovers is I've had to rush it , work and home life make it difficult to push weekly videos out. Some RUclipsrs are trying to make a living from it whereas for me it's always a side hobby. I decided after the October tournament to move to a fortnightly release schedule which gives me more time to do the production, overlap the voices and make them more natural. I don't use scripts , I make it up as I go along. I don't plan to get rid of Joe , Tom and Ruby but I will carefully experiment with guest commentators to test the waters. Very difficult to find good British ones that have emotion which is frustrating as I would otherwise only use British commentators. With Joe his lack of emotion fits his character at least

@@Chris_Hood adding to my last message, out of interest did you prefer my original commentary without the AI? If I can figure out somewhere to record I could try going back to that but use Joe as the secondary commentator with me.

@@XRDiecastRacing I'll need to more directly refresh my memory of how you did it back then with some viewing of the older videos. I _do_ distinctly recall there was good chemistry with you and Joe!

@@paulspriggs8236 😂

@@FresN8 please don't leave pointless negative comments like this unless you actually know what you are talking about. This particular brand of track is widely used and assuming you mean the two lane sections, is the same width as Hot Wheels track. The 1:64 scale cars designed for this track fit absolutely fine.

@@jerryrodrigues1390 😎

@@AmB39 thanks for the feedback. I do have to use AI but have tried to improve the way I use it in my last couple of videos. Interested to know if you feel it is any better.

@@The_VMAN thanks for watching 🙂
