New television coverage for ARC
The first edition of the new coverage has appeared on Channel Ten today. Just curious as to what the opinion of all & sundry was.
First impression is obviously the copycat format from the WRC coverage. Even down to the theme music & title styling. The wording & narration is straight out of the same handbook too.
In essence, there is no endless face to camera comments & thus more rally action on screen. The biggest downfall I saw was the fact that not even the top 5 cars received coverage. Kaitler came home 5th for the weekend and I can not recall seeing one shot of his car at all.
One redeeming call was the teams logos being included in the result screen shots. Just a minor thing but it counts, although I am not sure I need to see a lingering shot of a rock or railway line while the results are shown. Plus I know Ford & Toyota are bankrolling the shrinking tv budget but surely all drivers that make the top 10 deserve a passing two second shot at least.
All up an improvement but far from perfect. Not bad since the TV crews have shrunk from 7 to 3 on the ground to obtain footage.Happiness is using the side windows more than the windscreen

Some good live action filmed by On The Limit and with cars at 30s intervals making it really enjoyable to watch: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/royfY3g2z2rYMgEL/
