    Just started watching this, can't wait to watch it all. Congrats on getting RD on the Show, it certainly adds another layer of credibility to your Show (not that you needed it for anyone who has been watching your podcasts from day one). What you guys are trying to achieve, which includes honesty and transparency for the genuine and knowledgeable fans of Supercars, is really appreciated by those of us who have felt as though we have been left in the dark about a lot of things going on behind the scenes in Supercars. It's great for us to have an opportunity to share our thoughts here, as it's always nice to know that others share the same concerns we might have. It feels like we are not alone, so THANK YOU.

    When this man speaks.. You listen. He speaks with authority, He never gets into petty things, He never speaks on things he knows little about and he backs what he says. I would've loved to have grown up around this man and used him as a guide to conduct myself as a person.

    Regarding Roland's answer about making Supercars more accessible to overseas viewers. I think the RUclips idea is a good one. Shane's appearance in Nascar has made millions of Americans curious to see more Supercars. Here in NZ we have every Xfinity and Cup race on free TV now and to be honest, other than Bathurst I don't watch Supercars any more because I can't justify 400 bucks a year for a Sky TV subscription. That's why Supercars viewership has dropped off over the last decade. Your average yobbo hasn't got truck loads of money to throw around.

    @jagreen2009 Месяц назад

    I like Roland after he's retired, but as a competitor and at the head of 888 he contributed to where we are now in a negative way with the sport. Where all engineering is almost out of it because noone could keep up. They crushed everyone by just being better, as a result we have teams wanting more control parts to remove that issue. Can't hate the man, absolutely respect him but by his own admission teams shouldn't be in a position to be so influential. That was the beauty of tony cochrane, one authority who was only in it for better of the sport/product.

    The biggest issue I have with commentary of Supercars is its intrinsic link to the "owner" of the sport. Commentators must be independent of the sport. There needs to be criticism and other opinions over how the sport is being managed. Using commentary teams to talk up rule changes or to nullify criticism by drivers in off the cuff comments is awful IMHO. Sandown had Larko talking up the "main drivers starting" issue and Skaife being subtely chided by Crompton for veiled criticism of the FCY situation illustrates this very issue. Both those rule changes are or were controversial at best and deserving of analysis by a very experienced commentary team. Alas, however, they are part of the corporate monster that is Supercars.

    Bang on with the commentary, not talking about what’s happening on the screen. Just rewatch the Brodie and Shane battle at Barbagallo from last year. Skaife spent the whole epic battle telling Brodie what to do in the car and not actually just commentating to the audience what’s happening on screen like how a proper broadcaster would. That would have been an entirely different dynamic had there of been a pro broadcaster in there talking it up like how it should. I think the lack of exciting commentary we have at the moment is a catalyst as to why the races feel stale at the moment.

    The difference between a sports fan and a businessman's idea of what a "sport" should be.
