Commentators
With Murray Walker now retired, Leigh Diffey is the best motorsport commentator around, and you lucky Sky viewers can hear him in full flow from Milwalkee onwards. Superbike's loss is definatley CART's gain.

Diffey is pretty good, but my favourite is Ben Edwards, who used to do it up to 2000 for Eurosport. Check up his BTCC coverage, I'm sure that will prove my point. Actually, for sheer enthusiasm, I like that Keith Huewen guy who's done Superbikes on Sky as well, where's he gone?

Ditto gtr69. I know this doesn't count for much, but after meeting Diffey a few times, he is the real deal- top person.
To be honest, I coped with Jeremy Shaw a bit better having Diffey in next to him in Mexico... |

gtr69, you're thinking of Ben Edwards. He's doing British Touring Cars this year, but Diffey is miles better.

I vote for Jeremy Shaw and Ben Edwards. They could pronounce all the drivers' names and they always noticed that there were more than 3 cars in the field; and they explained what was going on without being cute or condescending. I wish we had them back.

I vote for Jeremy and Ben too, but for three years they called Kenny Brack, Kenny "breek" and it was only this year than Jeremy Shaw's starting calling him properly
