I've had my difficulties with them too from time to time, particularly one time couple of years ago on MWM when Nick was basically calling BTCC not real racing but "entertainment racing" because all the artificiality and goofy stuff that happens in that series. Apparently touring car fans are there purely for that. As a reply to that on their forum I called Dubai 24h, which they had just covered like previous weekend, "the biggest clown show on wheels" (because of all the reference lap time joker lap post qualifying adjusting crap). For that I got huge ****storm on live broadcast and they - well Hindy - bashed me to the ground.
Was that the nicest thing I ever said? No, but I don't think my opinion calls for such anger especially when they themselves had just said similar thing of another series! Not for the first time either...
Anyway, that didn' stop me from listening
