Thanks, we hope so too! You can do all the prep, but if tech decides to fail not much you can do!

MarkR · May 16, 2020

Twitch on standby, looking forward to watching this, 3 great presenters and I'm sure cleaner racing action than a lot of the other streams!

Immediately you see that this broadcast is sooo much better than the official one from the Silver and Pro series! Love it!

Eckhart von Glan · May 16, 2020

Great vocals, so cool to hear the voice of WTCC doing our thing. Image is a bit stuttery, some connection issues it seems, it is a decent grid (40 players) after all. Horrible: the ACC prefab skins, yikes. But that is part of the game, nothing RD can do anything about. I seriously do not like the constant change at the bottom of the screen, annoying the hell out of me, but others might be fine with it, who knows.
All in all: great great job, well done. Gameplay looks great, too, at least the bits I watched.

I wonder what happened to Malinowski?!
In a Porsche he is reeeaaaaly quick.
But seems he didn't make it to the race?

So the servers crashed... The problem we have been complaining for some time actually happened in a livestream lol. Jez guys...

pmarin · May 16, 2020

Fantastic broadcast guys, congratulations

GeForce06 · May 16, 2020

was a great race with excellent commentators!!! great work!!

MarkR · May 16, 2020

Well played all at RD, a superb stream, my feedback:

+++ Professional studio look.
+++ Paul and Martin's interaction was seamless, you'd think they'd been working together for years. Paul could easily be a TV commentator too.
+++ Martin's research and knowledge of the sim racers and of course, tracks.
+++ Handling the adversity of the stream crash, but I'm not surprised Martin is a pro in the quiet hours at Le Mans.

Only thing I'd want to see more of...

so gutted about the end was shaping up for a good finish

Lezzam · May 16, 2020

Great coverage!!! To bad for the ending...

2k17gt · May 16, 2020

Agree, I'll be tuning in to future races... First one I watched and it was great!

Zhabik · May 16, 2020

Good until it wasn't. Excellent presentation though. One thing I would like to see in the game is a constant updating of the timing rather than updating as each car goes through the timing loop. It would make it easier for the commentators and I would prefer it when I'm driving in the game myself.
