Hi Folks

Having got the 1990-1999 WRC Season Review box set (not watched all of them yet though) I have some questions..

Also I've had a look at Sean O'Connor's Masters Thesis "An Examination for the Marketing Strategy of the World Rally Championship" available here https://arrow.dit.ie/busmas/16/

Anywho..
International Sportworld Communicators or ISC had rights to both the WRC and the FiA Regional Rally Championships from 1996.
I've read that each WRC event like F1 olden times had host broadcasters who supplied footage and
ISC/FOM produced the TV programs (or at least put the season reviews together)

Was anyone here been involved in that?

(The FiA Rally Championship Rally TV rights were later bought by D.Richards who had Chrysalis Sport take on the TV production.. They got taken over by North One Sport and we know what happened down the road there..)

One of my questions is did any of the Regional Championship footage actually get Filmed/Produced & Screened?

I remember Andrew Marriott's / Sky Sports program World Motorsport took footage from Chris Courteyn's Rally Action concern but I have no idea if anyone actually bothered with the European Rally Championship during those years, let alone any of the other Regional championships.. Eurosport??

At least the Asia Pacific Championship does get good coverage these days from the people from APRC.tv

Another question emanates from the downfall of North One Sport which went bust right before Monte Carlo 2012..

As far as I remember the FiA put the rights of each event with each organising club, Monte 2012 was broadcast on Eurosport.. Sweden, I cant remember..
Was it filmed and produced by the now in use NEP Finland and shown on MotorsTV if I recall correctly..?

I'm guessing there is no 2012 season review due to the mess created by Vladamir Antanov

At least Red Bull Media House and the Sportsman Media Group got involved and are doing a good job now!

Also its a shame the F2 / 2L World Cup didn't get much coverage at all..

Anyway that's my ramblings for the moment..
