The comms were terrible and if the guy sounded like a radio DJ, he literally is, some people identified him as a radio DJ in Japan, apparently does some general event broadcasting there but clearly he had never seen a race car before. Also apparently the commentators only had access to a live timing screen. :slaphead:

Sample: https://streamable.com/vkx7w

Even though SRO was not the promoter they need to step in next time and sort out the broadcasting side. Also the geoblocking of streams wasn't because of SRO, it was because the promoter had previously done exclusive deals. Stephane Ratel actually said if it had been up to them it would have been available worldwide beause that's what they prefer (refreshing to hear that).

So guess that could be the case in future and I'd hope SRO could convince them to hire a proper commentary team. Once I got a stream I just couldn't stand him at all. Even that uber depressed Portuguese commentator was better.
