Yes I know, but IMG are still one of the major sports rights promoters in the world.

I'd be really surprised if IMG got involved with the WRC.......

Why do you doubt it?

There would only be a small proportion of fans who know what's been going on with the sport.

WRC in the UK is shown on ESPN.
ESPN UK is operated by IMG...

Tenuous?

Frankly, EV has to be the favourite.

Kim Vatanen works for IMG, and he manages a high profile driver, as well as one or two lesser ranking drivers.

The roundabout continues.

You have the rights, no, YOU have the rights. Hang on, you over there, how about you have the rights?

Stage 1 does the timing and tracking, nothing to do with media.

I find this very hard to believe.

Maybe to become the broadcaster in the UK, for sure, but i would see no logic behind ITV becoming the promoter of anything.

Media in my head is much more than TV. For rally it might be that ss direct streaming, online results with splits, interviews on radio and stream and so on will be the way ahead. TV is a nice way to sum up a day, but internet services is for many a better and cheaper way of reaching many. We need both, but the online part is only mentioned in party speaches and worked on. That is to bad!

I'm thinking live TV broadcasts for SSS showing the overall event, and perhaps online streaming of specific cars onboards from either a laptop or smart phone app....Highlights of the leg to be shown before the SSS goes underway(The final stage of the day of course, not the first ;) ) with proper (Ostberg style) onboard cameras WITH telemetry data and the odd side-by-side split screen comparision....Like this -

I need more of this :D

And then my alarm clock rings....

Eurosport could be in the game again in Rally of Portugal. They've been negociated. The rally will be presented today at 6 P.M.

I will eat my hat if that happens. After all, it's been announced that the FIA have taken back the rights, so there is nothing for the local Rally Portugal people to negotiate on with anyone!

Motors TV seems to have Mexico still planned in their tv guide...

FIA says one thing and then the opposite. Carlos Barbosa, president of the ACP, has said that they've negociated with Eurosport in addition to what has been guaranteed by the FIA.

During the presentation, it was announced that Europort is going to broadcast the Rally of Portugal. RTP is also going to show the rally, I suppose in the same conditions as last year.
Next Monday new promoter will be decided by the FIA.

Is there anything known about the TV coverage from Mexico?

Of course, the event only starts a week from now, so for WRC standards there is stil plenty of time to find a solution....

There will no Power Stage live, but SS1 will be broadcasted live in this site: Escudería Telmex
Motors TV, at least, has announced daily highlights.

The whole point of the Power stage is for live TV coverage......

maybe by the end of the season it will be sorted out.... ;)

The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) is pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with the EUROPEAN BROADCASTING UNION (EBU) and its production house EPC for the distribution of the 2012 WRC Rally Guanajuato Mexico. Relying on a strong relationship with its members in rally’s territories and on an efficient international distribution network, the EBU has been retained for the next round of the FIA World Rally Championship and further discussions are planned to ensure consistent distribution and production for the remainder of the 2012 season.

In parallel, the FIA is currently assessing the numerous proposals received after the call for expression of interest it has launched to identify the best possible partner(s) to build a strong platform for the growth of the Championship from 2013 onwards.

I've been away for a couple of weeks and come back to find no WRC on ESPN? So they cover Sweden and that's it for now?

It's in my schedule. It was on this morning. Rest of the days to follow.

Watching the Mexico stuff on MotorsTV last weekend, Colin Clark and Julian Porter are a definite improvement over Paul King. Generally good footage from a rally which is great to watch. One negative though - the helicopter footage was really really poor, I don't know why they bothered. Not even close to Eurosport. Oh, and still not enough showing cars outside the top 4. I think they only showed Ogier once the whole weekend when he spun, and not much of Neuville either even when he was in top 4.
