Martin Brundle previews a real vs virtual race - Telegraph

Martin Brundle previews a real vs virtual race - Telegraph

Murray Walker’s will forever be the voice of Formula One on TV. But in less than a month, on October 1, it will have been 10 years since he last commentated on F1, at the 2001 US Grand Prix.

In that decade, Walker’s protégé Martin Brundle has confidently climbed to the top step of the commentary podium. His Norfolk lilt is as familiar to 21st-century race fans as Walker’s was to their fathers and grandfathers.

On Monday, Brundle, 52, will call a race like no other. His BBC commentary box cohort David Coulthard is racing in a real Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG on a secret track against gamers from around the world in the Sony PlayStation rendition of the SLS – on the same, albeit virtual, circuit.
