Default What did you think of the OUSCI 2013 coverage on MAV TV today?

I think they did a great job, covered a lot for just a one hour show, and less commercials than most shows have.

I thought it was a pretty damn good show. Congrats to Brian, again.

Overall I thought caliber of video capture was very good and the producer did a good job packaging it. The number of clips they packed into one hour was a lot of editing work. I'm thinking they could make a two hour feature out of the event pretty easy.

I went to the local pub and scored a private viewing area to watch it since Comcast doesn't carry MavTV.

It was well produced, and they did squeeze a lot into the hour,

I could see a prequel show that leads up to the race day, maybe with some back ground stories or coverage of the other event competitors and the trials there, remember there are about 41 cars at the event this year, and the only showed about 15 or so

For the general public (Consumer), I don't think they could keep their attention with the less flashy, fast cars. Watching a car go around the racetrack at Sunday driver pace just isn't that exciting. Take out your own personal knowledge of the event and competitors and I think that gets more apparent.

I do agree that they could've built up the story with Brian and his Dad and really knocked it out of the park.

there were lots of things going on Matt busted his steering rack and trashed to get it together, One lap Camaro lost steering all together and with the help of DSE they put another pump in(good story), Yep the Brian back story, the Danny Popp and Brian race against each other history they spent extra mins show Jimi and friends walking around SEMA giving out golden wild card tickets with staged dialog.

overall I think they did great

I have a feeling a lot of that will be fixed in the new series. We should see lots of story over 10 episodes.

I would have preferred more time on the actual race and less jumping around but as has been covered already here, we would have lost the general public. The show just needs more time. Get the audience emotionally involved and they'll stay to watch their favorites race. Its the American Idol model. If they institute a "text in to vote" portion, I might have stood a chance at winning something. LOL

On a completely separate side note, did anyone catch that killer Maverick running the while Brett was talking about the autocross.

I missed it. I can't find on their website if it's going to be re-aired or not.
