Like usually, most of onboards with action is missing...
Just watched a couple of tv highlights shows and they still have real appeal.
The live streams just arent that great.
After Monte I must say that I am quite disappointed with live coverage. For me they are making still the same mistakes like in the last years. As a comparison I am still taking 7 years old live from IRC Monte by Eurosport, you can remember here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=6gm2tVfJZ9s.
And why I dont like so much actual coverage of WRC? Talks in studio or at the start line or visits in the service are nice additional bonus. But usually I dont watch/listen it so much, I am not interested in it. But, when stage is going, I want to focus on the stage and watch what is happening. You can see on Eurosport footage, when first cars starts, they are always following the stage. Always you see the action, one or two onboards, static cameras. When there is cut to another crew, you immediatelly see in graphics who is it and usually also with actual time. No stupid pre-recorded interviews with drivers about nothing, no long graphics of pictures of cars, no long watching rotating map of the stage. Commentators knows what is happening and they are talking about what is really happening on stage. You can see lot of spins there, overtaking cars etc. What we have seen on Monte? They were lucky that Ogier, who they were following all the time, did two spuns in live coverage. But there were much more action...
Like I told, I think there is big potential with Red Bull and live coverage. But I am not sure if their philosophy is the best one. I must say that this philosophy doesnt suit me as I prefer to know what is really happening on the stage. Maybe it should be good for them to hire one person, who will not be commenting, but only watching the stage and news and giving this informations to commentators (and director) in time?
WRC app on Android is many times more stable than browser it seems.
Not a single cutout this morning while browser(chrome,ff) having multiple issues.
Quite enjoying the coverage from WRC+live, but the fall out of connection is really frustrating!
As long as they improve the connection, and how to deal with the down time when it does go down, they have a great product on their hands.
Quantum leap from last year.
Good job overall.
Seen people complaining about how this has marginalised rally radio.
Yeah true but I literally watched live WRC content on my TV for the entire day yesterday. You genuinely can not make people happy in this life.
