Default Live coverage of the Sailplane Grand Prix in Sisteron France

I watched quite a bit of it...live....was really cool!

Couple of laughs though:


The French accent, English speaking, commentator kept talking about "Le Giggle"

One time had to turn the sound volume way up and...

The English speaking commentator, apparently thinking he was "off mike", gave a bit of a rant over the tracking technology...he was mad that it was kind of jumpy and inaccurate at times.....He said the graphics were excellent, but there was better tracking technology available. And they were not able to broadcast the "plan view".

Still, to me a fantastic presentation of the sport......

Video withdrawn.

Must be a French thing.
