    ISC sign TV deal in USA

    WRC promoter International Sportsworld Communicators (ISC) has secured a deal with Discovery Communication channel HD Theater, which has a total audience of 633 million.
    Whilst its good to have covergae in an important market such as North America I just wonder if this means more X Games Staples Center type rallying, for the XBox/Playstation set. Sorry for cynicsm, it must be an age thing.

    Wait! We already have extensive You-tube coverage of all the latest happenings of Kenny and Travvie*, what more could we want here?
    Did you know Travvie was 2007 World Rally Champion?



    *it is a requirement in North American rallying to always, no matter how distant you are, refer to the "Rally Superstars" and "Rally Gods" such as Block and Pastrana by their first names only.
    Please see to it that you follow these rules.


    Kinda sucks that the WRC coverage will be of a time when there are just a couple of people worth watching before its Wilson, Rautenbach etc etc.

    Yes! Finally.

    I just hope they get rid of that awful commentator.
    He even makes watching NORF unpleasant.

    I'm afraid he will be there - they will probably get the same coverage as everybody else.
    Just one thought, it's not on a sports channel, but Discovery, a documentary channel.......strange???

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
