    Wrc 03

    IS it me or is the coverage of this years WRC crap, either not on at all or at least 2 weeks later at 3am?.

    I'm sure they could make so much more than they do of this formula and make it more popular?.

    Anyone got any other views???.

    P.S - guess this forum must be expecting no trouble as we've still not got a mod

    I do agree with ya, rallying is wicked...not as good as F1 tho

    Its harder to do good coverage tho cos everything is so spread out. I just don't think it gets the audience it deserves/needs. I would watch it if it were on at a time i could watch it. I don't go out my way for it tho.

    Channel 4 did have the coverage for the past few years, but it was nearly always a week or so late, except for the British Rally Event, when it was on at the end of the days. Haven't seen any of it this year because of the fact it is never on at good viewing times (you already know the result, or, its very early/late).

    PS. As long as it doesn't become a spam-fest in here, there is no need for a mod

    Try Eurosport for same day footage and build up stuff.

    Its odd how there's such poor coverage tho seeing as Dave Richards ( prodrive-subaru and BAR F1 boss) is the holder of the media rights to the WRC and is always banging on about the excellent coverage and live stages they are going to show.

    Yep, eurosport rocks ass, its the only way to see the rallys properly , they don't bias coverage towards british drivers the way channel 4 do.

    i too had noticed a lack of moderation.......... i'd raise my hand gingerly and say i'd do it, but my motorsport knowledge ain't awesome

    Eurosport is by far the best. Channel 4 wasnt great and as said it was more coverage of the british drivers compared to any others mainly because our Mr.Robbie Head was the presenter
