Good Racing in MOTOGP?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Arrabbiata1 @ Apr 8 2010, 04:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>KRsnr highlighted the lack of coverage of the entire field and that the producers simply tended to stay with the front runners, which not only ignored mid pack battles, but also meant that sponsors of uncompetitive teams were being deterred due to a lack of coverage compounding the problem of revenue for non factory squads. This was amended, and in recent years there has been much more emphasis on even the back runners, although obviously the priority stays at the sharp end of the filed. As for a multi screen set up, providing even a rider cam or garage view option, this would probably be trialed on-line initially. It would be very difficult to introduce this across a range of global TV networks in the same way that the generic Dorna graphics and pictures are used.

Thinking about it, don't you just hate that when the on track action is ruined at some pivotal point because the producer cuts to the garage? It can be cleverly done, and even shown after the event as was the case when Rossi dived under Lorenzo at Catalunya this year, or the immediate reaction in Repsol Honda when Dani took out Nicky at Estoril in '06. A multi screen or split screen option could mean that you could incorporate images from the relevant garage when their protagonist has just crossed the line by a country mile - and laugh as Uccio or even better Adriana juice their panties.

What baffles me is the Rossi ... cam. What's the point? They go to it multiple times during the race and it adds nothing.
They need to put perpendicular facing cams on the side of Nicky's Ducati so we can see better impact shots from all the torpedo's that hit him. Or better yet maybe they should put big metal spikes there mad max style to ward off "Racing Incidents"

Have you ever watched NASCAR? Although you may find the racing downright boring, they get one aspect right on the money. Their producing is suberb and second to non. As far as cutting to the garage scenes, they do a little 2x2 Picture In Picture in one of the lower corners of the screen. Somtimes they show a 4 way split screen to show all the battles and action taking place on the track. NBC, for Amercain football, show the game live on the internet. They allow the user to control which camera they are watching the game from. I think they offer about 10 different cameras. Dorna really falls behind when it comes to coverage, its like they are a bunch of amateur producers.

well the 1st race has run so to the naysayers........

Definitely got started on the right foot in Qatar. Qatar has usually been somewhat of a parade track but there was some action in this race. So far so good
