There was at least one time when the F1 and WRC shared the same weekend and, rather than mention the WRC coverage that would be starting in a couple of hours, they announced the time of the BTCC coverage that was on the next weekend.
ITV had clearly lost interest in WRC. That's acceptable if it's not deliverting viewing figures but they could have at least have made some effort to promote the sport.
I don't know if it moving to Dave is good news or bad news. It could be good if Dave actually make some sort of effort. However it could be bad if we get the same rubbish we've been getting this year. If it's the latter then it looks like WRC coverage in the UK is continuing a downhill spiral.
It's hard to think that I (we?) used to think that Channel 4 gave us a bad deal. Yes, they did frequently mess about with the scheduling but the coverage was still a lot better than what we get now. The fact they gave coverage at the end of each day was in itself a big advantage.
I remember I used to actually get excited about seeing the coverage, that's not something that I can say about what we've had for the last season.

The people filming haven't got a clue how to film the sport, it was better 10-15 years ago. ISC/F1A don't appear to care, the WRC takes place in some fantastic locations, make use of this.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
