[WRC] News & Rumours 2021

Why not?! Wasn't this been done before? Less sometimes is more and I dont think we should sacrifice quality just to have every single stage live (and again, as we know, sometimes that promise is not delivered).
Does is cost more?! It does, but so do the hybrid cars. Cost is relative when the gain is clear

I don't understand what you mean now. The All Live team has a fixed number of cameras and cameramen. They move from stage to stage so we get a bit of external footage from maybe every second stage. We cannot exchange this into something where we see one stage covered from beginning to the end because they would need 2-4 cameras per kilometre.

The cost of the cars is an investment of the teams (or car manufacturers). The cost of the fotoage is an investment of the WRC promoter. They are not exhangeable.

C'mon dont be so naive, you now perfectly well only Ogier and maybe Tanak push close to limit to gather PS points while leading, the rest tend to cruise while in that position (very rarely unfortunately as we know).

I would have to disagree. For example Rovanperä winning the power stage in Sweden 2020 was a big show. Also Sardegna had a very close podium in 2020. Power stages have been quite dramatic during the last four seasons. Maybe third drivers like Sordo sometimes get the order to just finish the rally, depending on the situation.
