I think that automatically happens if the video is meant as suitable for kids. Which on the one hand makes sense if you want the younger generation interested in your sport, but on the other the Welsh Rally Championship is hardly going to be the place for highly controversial comments!Quote:

Still no results through for SS1 and the stage end video didnt work. :(
Two stage wins for Wilson - road position helping I guess.
So Matt Wilson takes the win with Pryce 2nd & Yates 3rd.
Sadly Edwards retired with an engine misfire.
BRC coverage of the Grampian: https://youtu.be/2qjTcTMlijI
I’ve come to the conclusion that although nicely polished, this new video coverage of the BRC just falls a bit flat. It just feels a bit like you’re watching any rally which could be held in any forest somewhere in the UK. No sense of it being Britain’s premier rally series. What’s everyone else’s take on it?
The coverage is fine; they do a good job, with limited material to work with. It's over 20 years since we has BBC coverage, and just under that for the excellent CH4 coverage of the F2 days. When you have top drivers, teams, and budgets etc it's a lot easier to make events look like they're important.Quote:

How we get the BRC to a similar level to BTCC, BSB, British GT is the holy grail for UK rallying.
Scrambled into the forests for the grampian. Lovely weather, great pace from the top guys but Matt Wilson was visibly faster through this 5 left in Fetteresso we watched from. Amazing commitment using every inch of the road and more.
Hopefully the grampian keeps it's place on the brc calendar. Scotland has so many superb gravel stages, whether the grampian stages, Perthshire stages or the Trossachs. Just a shame the latter two areas haven't seen rallying in years, and that won't change unless Scotland gets a WRC round in the forests up here.....

There's a saying 'use them or lose them'. When forests don't get used for rallying for a period of time, they usually become 'off limits'; as the leisure side takes over.Quote:
