wsbk-commentary-laguna-seca-misano-infoGreg tracks the season’s progress race by race, using color coded highlighter pens to note the front row grid positions in each race (pink), the top three finishers in a race (green), and the best race result of the season to date for any rider not yet to have reached the podium. (Bonus – there is a mistake in Yellow which Greg corrected later, can you find it?)

 

wsbk-commentary-laguna-seca-championshipThis sheet tracks the championship standings so Greg can quickly see how each race’s results affected the top riders’s positions for the year.

So when WorldSBK concludes this weekend, I hope you might listen to Greg and Steve with a new appreciation for how much work goes into making their quality commentary sound so effortless. Quality it certainly is – effortless is is not.

Thanks very much to Greg, Steve and Dorna for this peek behind the scenes of the official commentary feed.
