Not a single cent. If ISC wants to be so greedy as to charge for this, instead of realize that it is crucial to creating commercial value in the sport than to hell with them. Sorry, but that is how I feel. I am absolutely sick and tired of being expected to pay for things that should be provided for free. Motorsport is advertising. Teams participate to promote something. Organizing rallies is a commercial endeavour (in most parts of the world, espeically for the WRC). There are sponsors, sometimes paid admissions, and the spectators bring thousands if not millions of dollars to the host economies. I WILL NOT PAY FOR SOMEONE TO ADVERTISE TO ME WHILE I AM WATCHING THEIR FREAKING ADVERTISEMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE Paying the cable bill for TV and internet is bad enough already, but to pay for the "privledge" of listening to some tosser provide very basic information in an attempt to promote the whole damn thing in the first place? No. Coverage should be provided to promote the rally, you know, promote the event, the teams that are paying the bills, promote the sponsors that are supporting the event, it should be a way of getting that information out there. To pay someone for this is absurd.
