God is right about the silks theory too.

At least we will have Trevor there to give us an accurate description to what's going on.
I was thinking about this today and honestly I cant believe people defend this style of showing the races. What other sport has the camera angles changed during the action. I dont want to hear about autoracing or golf. But if you are watching a football or basketball game they dont switch camera angles during the play. And if they show an angle other than behind the pitcher in baseball, you almost cant follow what is going on. But these genius directors feel the need to switch angles 10 times during the race. Why not give us different shots during the replay of the race since they have 30 minutes between the races and the actual race usually only takes 2 minutes to run. Having the races in HD is a obvious plus though.
