    I appreciate it's not clear to a foreign ear, but Greensmith actually has a Northern English accent, specifically Manchester area. You still make a good point though, as they have Emyr Penlan on their own team who does have a very strong Welsh accent and prior to All Live had primarily (at least) been a Welsh language broadcaster. I don't know that he'd even consider English to be his first language.

    I agree the timing on screen is not working. Oftentimes when the car goes to finish the clock doesn't stop. And the overall time is usually not helping. We should see the stage results instead and a flash of overall order when a driver finishes. And similarly, splits should be available all the time when showing a car amid a stage.

    Perhaps stage times (I'd prefer current stage leader time + deltas) on the left, split times on the right, and current rally leader time + deltas in a scrolling marquee along the bottom, as they do in WEC. Although to be fair, I find it absolutely intolerable in WEC, but I think that's mainly down to there being 50+ entries, only 3 or 4 of which I actually care about.

    But I think it's critical to be able to turn on the TV at any moment during a rally, turn on the live stream, and be able to tell within 5-10 seconds what the overall situation is. Currently you have to wait until the end of a stage and wait till they bring up the overall times, then pause the video and digest the numbers for a while. Unacceptable for anything less than a hardcore fan.

    At least people on twitter seem to agree with this https://twitter.com/AnttiL_WRC/statu...72965017636864

    So Estonian media outlet Delfi contacted the promoter to ask about WRC+/ All Live. The image is explains itself, but a very brief summary of the interview. The production crew size has not increased significantly. From the key roles there's a new host and producer on the production. On technical side, a line cut unit.

    They also say that All Live has received lots of positive feedback (direct translation would be 'fantastic' but lets be realistic). And that they'll keep improving it and there aren't plans for new big developments before they are satisfied with the product.

    Of course all that was said by their press officer.

    And the link - http://sport.delfi.ee/news/auto/wrc/...du?id=82761773
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    Incredible that the UK and US are the top 2! Probably it being presented in English helps that and hinders take up in some other countries, but it makes me think the subscriber number overall must be quite low...

    The number of WRC+ subscribers would be quite revealing...

    At least they sound happy with the feedback so that should encourage them to continue.

    Just a thought - I wonder how many more viewers would watch if it was free (but sponsored) ?

    How is it so incredible? UK is 10 times larger than Finland and yet they are still 4th*.

    Well yeah it is as the chart shows, btw Estonia is 5th with a population just a bit over 1.3million.
    For me it's surprising that there is no countries in top 10 outside of Europe expect USA. Language could be the reason for many asian countries but there must be something else going on aswell?
