Caught up with the legend, Dez Corkhill, for 3 Top Tips on MOTORSPORT commentary. Buckle up, let's goooo: 3. Know Your Circuit: Understand the circuit intimately - where the overtaking hotspots are, which corners are treacherous, what areas are dangerous - this adds depth to your commentary. If possible, walk or drive the circuit yourself. 2. Helmets Over Numbers: With liveries often looking similar, it's the helmet colours that can truly distinguish the riders. They're personal and unique, so you can make them your go-to for identification. Do not rely on the numbers alone. 1. Timing Monitors are Crucial: ALWAYS keep an eye on those timings. They often tell a story as compelling as the track action, highlighting racers who may start slow but suddenly make a significant charge. Nice one Dez.

To know what Las Vegas has done differently to make sure track invasion does not get in the way of their high profile race, please read my article.

In a world of social media chaos & constant noise, it’s incredibly refreshing to watch this doco trailer and experience a slower, less indulgent, more meaningful style of content.
