Official IRC Thread

[JAM]

I alreday saw it, but is not enough. Aparently they only publish information related to the Fiat Drivers... at least published the classification until the 4th. The national rallyes have better service.

[RS]

This is a very specialised event and it was a bit brave to start the series here. It will get better.

I was however very impressed with how quickly they gotthe tv footage together for todays programming, and it was of good quality too.

This is a very specialised event

It's a normal FIA standard stage rally, there is nothing special in it.

There is, the stage timing
I think they deliver the reports using camels during the night.
It's to hot during the day, you know.

[Erki]

So they drove two hours of stages on the first day?

[Karbonyl]

The stage timing on the internet is not due to FIA rules. It`s just an acitivity of the rally organizers, if they form this service for "PC" spectacors, I think.

'IRC' drivers

"Abarth´s Andrea Navarra had a tough wake-up call this morning when he discovered that a timing error meant that his overall lead was just six rather than 21 seconds. But he is more determined than ever to put in a strong performance over the eight stages that remain."

Peter Baert, from Dutch-Speaking Eurosport said that they would only show official inscribed rally cars in the footage, that's a shame.
