Is this the future of our sport?
That NZ GP was indeed great to watch but even better was
the Chilean world GP final which I watched in its entirety.
The tracking gave the watcher a 3D display (similar to
SeeYou) of the competitors rock polishing in the Andes +
live audio commentary overlaid. Highlights for me were
Sebastian Kawa pretty much every day and Tilo Holighaus's
amazing lead out and run on the last 2 legs of (IIRC) the
final day.
