So excited for this year. Watching the first show from Velocity right now. Super ironic, as I'm watching an interview with Guy Martin, a friend of mine posts this YouTube link to exactly the same interview. Have fun deciphering the "English" lol. I actually could understand almost everything he was saying, but I kind of pride myself on my ability to make out accents. (really helpful at work) But my wife was cross-eyed trying to understand what he was saying lol. :confused:

really reminds me of the scene in Austin Powers when he and his dad decided to speak "English English" to each other. ;)

Anyways... As the races progress, lets discuss.

Awesome, thanks!

My wife is the same, she cannot understand a word he says,
I grew up with some guys who migrated to Australia from UK with similar accents and hearing that just reminds me of being in their house as kids

Watching Snatch and other Guy Ritchie movies helped with my English English translation skills. The first time I watched Snatch I couldn't understand anything Mickey said. Now I can catch everything that's actually intelligible. There's some stuff Brad Pitt threw in there that's pure gibberish when he's trying to mess with people, but otherwise I get it.

I don't think I get Velocity. I'll check when I get home.

I thought the superbike riders were gutsy, but now I'm all in with respect/admiration for the sidecar teams....
