Live stuff is great. Can only be improved by more accurate split times really.

Highlights shows are patchy. Example of Curitiba:

Day One - Bad
Day Two - Good
Magazine round up - Bad

Generally the footage itself if of good enough quality, it's just that the editing is poor. I sometimes wonder whether they are thrown together by someone at Eurosport HQ who does not know how rallying works and just doesn't understand how to tell the story of the rally.

It's something they really need to improve. I can forgive them when it is a nightly highlights show on the same day of the rally itself, but the wrap up show which is normally screened one or two days later should be much slicker.

I very much liked the split window comparison of inboard footage they did. Best use of inboard I have seen till now. If they could complement that with data showing engine rev, brake and speeder usage, that would be even better !

But seing a rallycar from the outside is still best, but more expensive to make !

You can get online highlights here: http://videos.eurosport.com/irc/irc-player.shtml

They are not the full programmes, but it is better than nothing.

I recommend Day 2 highlights from Brazil, nice footage of all the top guys pushing hard :)

The round up/magazine show was bad imo. The daily round up shows have been ok.
Brazil was a bit of a coverage let down, but I think thats becasue of the superb coverage we saw in Monte Carlo.
Eurosport showed how to cover rallying with the live Monte Footage, practically covering every stage. It was fantastic!
Shame about the round up shows though.

The Argentina coverage was better. The editing was far better than Brazil which was pretty poor. Still anything is better than the dreadful motors tv wrc coverage

Well, I am not agree here. I think that Brazil coverage was the worst rally coverage I have ever seen... It was like choosing songs from youtube by putting random pairs of words in searching engine and then playing first songs that appear on the list. Shame on you Europsort! Donīt do that ever again, keep your flag high.. always!

Seeing as this thread has popped back up, I just wanted to say that I thought the stuff from Ypres was really good. Some excellent shots from the helicpoter, and for the UK commentary at least they used the two commentators they use for the live stages and it worked better with two of them in conversation that just one rambling away.
