Once I got accustomed to the accent, I quite liked Jayne Middlemiss as a pit reporter, no Philippa Forrester certainly but she seemed to fit in well. Richard Hammond would be a popular choice, hes in everything at the moment! Not sure if he would be loud enough though, although I am basing that on Craigs style of presenting it. Hammonds got a quieter presenting nature, with the way he often delivers his lines being what people enjoy.

Lisa Rogers could make quite a good pit reporter now that I think about it. Shes got the brains and understanding of it from working on Scrapheap and certainly doesnt fail the looks criteria. Robert Llewellyn could even be a possible presenter option - hes easily contactable through his popular Youtube channel and seems really down to earth but crazy enough (in a positive way) to present a show in which we build machines to kill each other (or each others machines even!)
