This channel has a compulsion to promote their editing skills, rather than letting their viewers watch the car perform.
Why is there not a video of the car doing the race, without changing camera angles every 2 seconds?
Whey does the camera keep switching to view a man in a helmet in the car? What ever makes the host think that the viewers want to see the helmet, rather than the car performing?
Additionally, nearly every camera angle was a distorted, fish-eye, wide-angled view.
Did the drivers wear eyeglasses that gave them that same distorted, fish-eye, wide-angled view?
Well why not? If it is what you chose to post to your viewers, then it must be better than the real-life, proper aspect ratio, realistic view?
Why must these videos turn into a Hollywood-wannabe production?
You know that the host watches the race from a single camera and enjoys that view.
Yet the host denies the viewers that uninterrupted view.
And then there is the music.
Were the drivers listening to that music when they were racing?
Of course not.
So then what makes our host think that everyone other than the drivers would want to hear that music?
Why can't we simply watch the race, form the driver's point of view, with no camera gimmickry, and no post recording music.
Let us watch and listen as if we were behind the wheel.
Why is this not obvious?
Answer: The host wants to show off his post recording editing prowess, and is not interested in sharing what it was really like to drive that super-car.
Such a shame to have access to such an amazing automobile, never letting others see a simple video of the driving experience. Just plain selfish.
