Produce more content for the fans please to make the audience more excited. More content about technical aspects of circuits, cars technology, engineering challenges and how endurance racing can be equally or more exciting than F1 !

@King-Julz Рік тому

Agreed. I'm a huge F1 fan exploring other motorsports and other than watching the race live, the content such as highlights etc generally takes ages. (I understand that it's not the same like a 2 hr F1 race - but whilst I'm willing to stay and learn, I feel a lot of people will lose interest long term. Other things such as what you mention that F1 do really well: race analysis, tyre strategy analysis and all other sorts of videos would be so good and useful.) I'm personally very excited to keep watching and looking forward to an exciting season ahead!

@mr8I7 Рік тому

First rule of WEC club. Don't mention the F word.

@coachgius Рік тому

@@xavier3211 well yes because a race that is hours long can only be a great ground for narrative and stories around all it all. Drivers training to race at top speed for hours, challenges coming with racing at night, or at night in the rain, box strategies, wear and tear of mechanical components analysis. Would love a mechanic analysis dismantled parts showing how the race put strain on those. I would have so many ideas if I was one of the WEC content creator !

@King-Julz Рік тому

@@mr8I7 of course must be annoying every one comparing WEC to 'F word number'🤣. But I meant it in good faith (I'm still gonna watch the WEC races). Still, I'm sure even most long term fans would love to see more in depth content, so hopes are they'll add some more over the coming months/years, and in fairness 'F word number' are really the benchmark for worldwide motor racing content rn imo.

@shogun2215 Рік тому

@@armorgeddon BoP works because it maintains competitiveness, and stops situations like we have in Formula 1 where the championship has already been decided 2 races in. And it's not like Formula 1 is the pinnacle of technology either because they still have very restrictive rules to follow. But by all means, if you enjoy watching Red Bull win every single race with no one coming close, keep watching Formula 1.

@Zanion Рік тому

If I may offer some feedback: I would like to see a bit of indication how far into the race we are. or just any kind of transition between the highlights really. Take 8:00 for example It's a bit difficult to follow if everything is cut together seamlessly Add a short transition, a bit maybe 10-15 seconds before the actual incident to give a bit of context and afterwards replays. really helps the viewing experience from my point of view. Not great to see the #50 and #6 fighting for P5 and get a hard cut to a crashed #51 although there are 2 full hours between the two situation.

@G0UDIE Рік тому

And "progress bar" of the race

@Zanion Рік тому

@@G0UDIE absolutelx not what I was referring to. I'm more than familiar how a clock or lap counter works. But I wouldn't blame anyone watching this to believe the 51 crashed while 50 and 6 were in a battle. I had the issue multiple times in the video and I watched the entire race. If you want to look at the top left corner every time the camera cuts (regardless of same situation or the next) you do you IMSA for example shows their logo, followed by "hour 6" makes it a lot easier to follow and at least in my oppinion improves the quality of the video.
