    Side by Side and Scroll

    When the race first began and they had the scroll at the bottom, and also being quite large, I thought it sucks. But, once into the race, I got used to it. The side by side was very good. One thing that bothered me was showing cars going down a position, were shown in red. It was difficult to read the red lettering.

    I'll repeat what I said in the other thread: That's what I thought at first, but after the race I figured out that those were Coke Zero drivers and had nothing to do with position. Of course I couldn't even see that it was a Coke Zero bottle to the left of their name.

    Much better than the Indy Cars' version of side-by-side where the racing is shown on a screen about a third the size of the commercials and they only show the top three positions. I liked it.

    While we're complaining, I am still bugged by the announcers constantly referring to the car numbers instead of the driver's names. (Guess I'll just have to have a little name/number card next to the remote.)
