This type of continuous radio is alot about killing time, as it's impossible to fill such hours with hard content. You just can't have people who lack creativity and get lost for words. That will kill it in a second.

    Colin is just a rarity in so many ways, you will not get alike, and also with a great knowledge about drivers, co-drivers and their rally history. Not to forget his enthusiasm and the hard effort made to actually reach all the stage ends he manages to do. Those who have been on a rally knows this is not always too easy. I'd like to see other reporters match even that performance.

    I think they do a great job, and for us to be able to listen to splits without having to burn our eyes to the website all the time is important. As well as Becs giving instant info on what happens on the tracking system etc.

    You can't like every single comment. Take what is good, and ignore the rest. You say Colin almost being attacked by a bear didn't make you laugh? Or when he felt a few rain-drops Becs suggested "maybe someone was spitting on him"? We need this bit of quality nonsense I think to keep it alive through a whole weekend.

    Sucks, I might just at the end of each day just see how the results are.. WRR night listen to see how it is first day and then after the event, check what's avail online to watch from WRC coverage.... I'm not excited as I was with monte...

    Based on what I've heard during this morning WRR with new voices are doing a good job IMO.
    There are two rules for success
    1. Never tell everything you know.

    I also think it was a good job. They're Mark James at the studio and Chris Rames and Neil Cloughley at the stages.

    Not bad, but still miss the old team with 'crazy' Colin and Becs' food stories and so on.

    Mark James! Can we please have him back as the TV voice over? Would be such an improvement.
