thoughts on fox debut - buxton better than expected - graphics need work (P2P, hybrid, remove headshots from pylon, make pylon transparent?) - full screen ads in final stops unacceptable - better than FOX’s nascar coverage, worse than indycar on nbc. Decent debut tho imo. better than i expected - ThreadSky

Some of the camera shots and cuts made it seem like they weren't really prepared for the speed of the cars. It will get better.

I also really liked their starting grid video. Felt F-1esque. Just wish they included a photo of the car

newgayden.bsky.social•10 days ago

yes!! get a photo of the car in there and that was perfect

As I expected, the booth was easily the best part. Better overall than I expected, but still find it hard to say it was good.

i think if they can adjust some of the graphical issues theyll be good. i’m staying optimistic with low expectations lol

buxtons only going to get better with time too

I also thought they could've used something like NBC's through the field segment during the long lull in the race. They were way too focused on the front. With the lack of post race, I really feel like I have a good handle on the day for a fraction of the grid.

i can agree with this, definitely would have helped the lull part feel more packed

Dont forget tires, they showed it for a split second and that was it

newgayden.bsky.social•10 days ago

true, that graphic looked like it was made real quick too lol

I can't support anything related to FOX because I have a conscience.

The important thing was that this broadcast was watchable. The only bad thing was the scoreboard glitches (and the comic book drivers). Fox putting an effort is joyous…..now they can just put that energy to NASCAR.

i agree! much better than i expected it would be
