I work for Trakus, and love it.
But with any sport on TV, the cameras show you the action. It sure gets more exciting and enlivened with the play-by-play though. Vin Scully, the late Harry Kalas, the dulcet Pat Summerall, etc...some legendary voices made the pictures even better.
I haven't heard anyone in the US quite capture the race like the melody offered by Tom Durkin.
