    Watched last weekend live, congrats on Sunday ( and Saturday until spoilers )! Misha did a video about "what is RCN" some years ago, I think given the questions in livestream you might want to do something explaining the intricacies of VLN ( stint & average stint lengths, pitstop times, code 60s and how much time you can lose & how you can't pick a fastest driver based on that, what equipment the circuit has for live video feed, etc ). I know there's a lot out there already but you're apparently bringing a new audience to the series.

It gives it an in car feel to it. I am sure you can do the same in Audacity if you have Adobe Creative Suite. I hope this helps.

    Jimmy, get a 3.5mm adapter for your gopro and mount a lav mic inside the helmet. I used to do helmet cam commentary on a straight piped dirt bike without any issue hearing me talking.
