A big dissapointment for me in 08 has been the tv coverage from Eurosport and the perceived lack of promotion of the series as a whole IMO. Often the English language coverage seemed ill informed and stilted and the footage itself poor. Suprised Eurosport or the promotors havent released a season review dvd in previous years and guess they wont do this year either.
Biggest dissapointment though is still no round in the UK !

Have you tried the highlights shows screened a few days later? These are much slicker. They are also shown on Motors TV the following week with a different commentator.
Regarding a UK round, I hope the rumours of a round in Scotland next year are true!

I remember the footage that Chris Courteyn used to produce of the ERC and that just seemed more "complete" It's great that there is live coverage just that a fair bit of it seems to be in the service park at the end of an event rather than out on the stages Having said all that I'm looking forward to the San Remo coverage when the Italain crews mix it with the regulars

I believe Chris Courteyn is involved with the IRC coverage too.
I see what you mean about the engine noise not being heard on the helicopter footage but it is an interesting viewpoint of the cars so you see them through more than one or two corners.
Generally I like to have the live shows rather than having to wait until the evening for a round up but there is certainly room for improvement, yes.
