Future Rally Media Coverage

Oh yes, i hope the new camera men are taking note:-)

Well, that onboard with Mads is absolutely incredible. I am on the edge of my seat!

What really pains me is that it is so easy to do, and NOS have not been doing it for 10 years and destroyed what could have been a great onboard collection from the greatest driver of our time!

If this issue is not fixed with Eurosport coming in, we might never see a great onboard with Loeb. It is so sad.

I have tried before to put pressure on NOS to change it, but it obviously did not work. But we have to start again. I can't take another season with the same ****!

I don't know how much influence Eurosport has/had on the onboard cameras in IRC, but this is a great position:

Yep, that is very good. But I am really affraid what we will see i Monte. I worst case scenario Eurosport take over the cameras and positions from NOS. That is my nightmare

[Kaps]

Eurosport's listings for January 17 to 22 have no mention whatsoever of WRC, while there's plenty on Motors TV's, as it was for the last few years.

So, I'm a bit confused, who's gonna do the WRC this season, if anyone?

[OldF]

And most improtantly, I have eurosport but no MTV3max here in Finland! without this i would have been stuck with late night wrap ups, now hopefully some more footage and reports during normal hours. hah!

Same for me so it suits me very well if Eurosport is taking over.

There are still some problems having the timing and tracking system to Monte.

FIA ended NOS´s little games so I guess NOS is now turning the favour by trying to ruin the party for the rest of us. And also, "miraculously", they still have money for lawyers.

You can thank the administrators over this not NOS.

Aaa my bad. And if the organisers have a backup plan+equipment for the Monte time-keeping then I guess today´s ranting about the NOS/S1T equipment is more about certain people being concerned about their friends than the rally itself.

According to FIA´s Jarmo Mahonen "there is no new promoter in sight and they aren´t actively searching for one at the moment" (because of the basic preparations for Monte). About TV coverage he says they have negotiated with Eurosport but no deals have been signed yet, and that there are other options as well. So no answers concerning Monte´s TV coverage, or for the rest of the season for that matter.

Very interesting. I'm not sure why they felt the need to turn themselves into a not for profit company. The £10,000 offer more the equipment alone seems more than fair.
