I agree. When I am watching a live race, I want to know WHAT is happening so what I prefer is what most tracks show which is a seemless pan shot which on the backstretch is split to show a wide angle of the whole field and a close-up of the lead pack.
After the race is over, I know what happened. Now I want to know how and why it happened. So this is the time to show all of the side angles, head ons, overheads, etc. This is more for the race analysis phase, not for live viewing imo.
