I agree to that too, I don't think there is much more that can be done on the media perspective. I mean, looking at the guys comments above, he's not paying attention to other motorsports either, its just the fact that you know most of the well known drivers in other sports anyway + the rules....
I mean, they don't explain the rules of F1 every times its on TV

and with some sports like Champcar etc, you can only recognise most different cars through the sponsoring stickers if they have the same color.
Better still, in drifting (EDC) all cars as far as i can see have a totally different color scheme, if he's such a motorsports man, how can he NOT tell the difference between cars?? I find that hard to believe.... but it's probably how it was filmed or something.
But Jord you are right, I think the commentator Sucks too haha, i just need to laugh when i hear his voice on the films of EDC plus the french series.
