Naughts, I agree mate. Talks unbelievable amounts of garbage when silence would have done, I seriously think he should put down his little australian motorsport encyclopaedia from which he just quotes random statistics when im sure Crompton could have actually added a valid comment.

Is anyone else sick of Channel 7's version of "who wants to be a millionaire" return music after ad breaks?

I just wish it was back on TEN. I think seven don't do enough advertising for the V8's. so many meets I've missed this year :(

I agree and him being a former steerer aswell makes him easily better then the rest. Except for Cromly IMO he think he is the best in there by far.
As for TV personalities David Koch really takes the cake as the worst

Matthew White was driving me nuts....all the crap he would dribble on with. I'd prefer to hear from Neil Crompton, he's got the know how!

He's not bad, there are genuine shockers out there to worry about like breakfast radio hosts and the Sunrise crew...Yeah that Gladiator music and the American style driver intro at the start was kind of getting on the nerves~

Koch annoys the hell outta me and you're dead right about Phil Gould - he doesn't commentate, he opinionates! a pair of wipes.

Matt White doesn't bother me though.

I would have Matt White anyday over Leigh "I'm HRT's bi-arch" Diffey.

I can't see how Matt White will be real effective now. Monday to Friday introducing stories on landlords who rip people off, fat people and wonder diets, kids gone crazy, and then change hats and back up with a sport like V8 Supercars. It has to be one or the other. otherwise he will be 7's Eddie McGuire

The highlight for me was Larko... He added more flavour to the telecast and he knows what he is talkiing about.

How can you got past Neil Crompton as a commentator... he actually knows what he is talking about and as I am thinking.... I wonder how that works, he is right there explaining it... the boy is psyhic!
