Well looks like Nasser and Patrick are already winners in the livery race (so far)! Can't wait for the rally to start properly now.

Apparently it will be Finish company Filmworks that will make the TV-images for Rally Sweden and will make it available for all party's abroad. All this according to rallye-magazine.de.
Good news after all.

It's not the first time they are doing it in WRC.

Next question is, can the rest of the events afford these kind of TV arrangements. And by the sound of it, propably not. Even the Swedes are playing a bit of hardball by going for it.

Olsson has bravely gone ahead with a full TV production from Sweden, though he does not have the money to cover it. He's looking for support from all sides.

He says it is impossible for each promoter to do an individual TV deal themselves: it won't produce the product the teams and organisers want.

If Rally Sweden can´t get paid for the TV-production covering the costs, then we can´t expect to see any TV-coverage at all in the future.

Anyone wondered how much money FIA have on banking accounts? I think it is well enough to fund the media part in WRC for a time on.

As long as there is ice on stages it's not a big problem.

Ice is preferred

**Priorat** · 8th Feb 12, 10:43

Yes, but on Sordo's words it seems there is not much ice neither.

Recceing in Norway today. A total of appr. 120 km SS-disance will be run on norwegian stages during friday. Conditions are absolutely perfect, as they were during Rally Finnskog last saturday. A thick ice layer on the roads, not very high snowbanks, but still enough to use as a "support" in some corners. Rally Finnskog was run in the same area as they will be using coming friday, but of course not on the same roads. There will be a TV-broadcast from Finnskog this evening on Viasat in Norway, and you will also be able to click into Injection.no - bilsportens nett tv - bilsport - rally - rallycross - bakkeløp - racing - gokart - Velkommen to wiew it tonight.

**Barreis** · 8th Feb 12, 12:53

Will be interesting to see how will Nasser do in WRC machinery.

It’s almost warm in the Värmland! - Quote: And the nearer we got to Karlstad, the warmer it became, with our in-car thermometer hesitating between -3°C and -2°C.
