Ok thought this money would have had to have been paid before heading to the event.Quote:

There is another energy drink sponsor who let down a driver but is back with them now, after lawyers pointed out the terms of the contract and actually fulfilling it is better than being sued.Quote:

Tomorrow morning (Tuesday), at eight o’clock, the first cars will begin the 3.58km shakedown stage

How can a brand called 'Go Fast' hire the ultimate 'Go slow' driver?
Still no sign of news on wrc.com. Hope after this that NOS s*um will disappear forever.

Wrc.com is embarassing.Quote:

Now MTV3 (MAX) doesn't even have the power stage live anymore so there's no point dreaming of any live footage from Monte execpt maybe some interviews. Power stage live only from Eurosport? (If even from there...)
No sign of any onboard video equipment on the cars either. Maybe we'll see some sh*tty GoPro/Contour onboards in which the camera is mounted to the rear side window and only audio one can hear is that extremely irritating wind noise. I'm starting to be really pissed of. Perkele!

I will not miss the over set up angles of the past.
Why are you expecting anything on that site?Quote:

Sporttv Portugal also retired from tv program the resumes and Power Stage. Eurosport will broadcast the PS?
No, don't think so. Simply too late.Quote:

Eurosport doesn't list the Power stage on Sunday, just the daily review.
Matthew Wilson's twitter:
Well the drama continues!!! We will do shakedown tomorrow morning then a decision on the rally will be taken in the afternoon!!
What game is Henning and WilSON play?
No budget, secret sponsor
No drive, drive shakedown, maybe no drive?

Would somebody laugh if they say we give Henning a chance but ditch Matthew...
Quite amazing if they do because it's under a week and not a single TV site nor Eurosport's own site show any live WRC programs yet alone Power Stage. Finnish Eurosport doesn't have anything related to WRC... French Eurosport had some 30 minute reviews.
I'm surprised that people actually are expecting "decent footage". With this kind of short notice, I'm very surprised if we'll see anything, most likely it's going to be cr*p. Does Eurosport have the resources to film? Or are they going to put their IRC staff to Monte?
at least julian porter is there, so no probs with interviewsQuote:

They are not doing anything until March so I guess so.Quote:

If you are worried because the coverage will miss fancy graphics and stupid angles just to cover sponsor banners then that's your loss.
I prefer pure 30 minutes hardcore footage than what we had in the last years, which was 20 minutes of interviews, 5 minutes of awfull onboard angles and 5 minutes of Abu Dhabi trophy crap.
I hope he stays home... we do not need him in the WRC.
if you had your way , there would be 2 cars and 2 drivers in the WRC.Quote:

There's a significant difference between making excellent pure sound rally videos which are from 5 to 10 minutes long and a five-day rally production in the Alps (MTV3 will broadcast 6,5 hours of footage from Monte). Second thing I wonder is how are they going to redistribute the material, NOS had massive satellite equipment to do that. Does ES have those systems?Quote:

I don't particularly miss NOS broadcasts because after 2007 they became quite monotonous and too mainstream orientated, luckily here in Finland we didn't have anything like Paul King's "OH WOW NOW HE CRASHED!!" live action hard supreme super-exiting hardcore extreme commentary. I "miss" NOS productions because they had money and resources. Did they do the best job? No they didn't. Can someone do better? For sure.
And just to comment on that sponsor visibility, they *have* to show those banners, that's why the sponsors give money - do you really think that the majority of funders gives money because it's nice to support rally? 90% doesn't give a sh*t about rallying, they fund our sport because they want visibility.
I just wonder what footage you have been watching, nothing like that here in Finland except maybe some 15-minute mini review shows at 3am... "Awful onboard angles", well why don't you go and do better when FIA and teams are whining. Too much un-needed weight, cameras and cables distracting and causing inconvinience to crew, etc etc. Atleast NOS had specialized WRC onboard camera equipment which enabled to receive power from car's electrical system (no need for main batteries), enabled us to hear the intercom audio and supported multiple cameras. I really don't see what's the matter with for example this onboard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2LIE0onlKk (maybe wider angle lenses would have been good...)
And finally, I guess there's never going to be a rally broadcast good enough. Hardcore fans always see the footage and commentary as too mainstream. Shame that rally enthusiasts don't come in such numbers as for example ice hockey or football enthusiasts. Atleast 70% are "Sunday followers" who thought Kimi could win.
no...we would have the best possible driving the wrc ones and i would sent the sick dogs in the lesser divisions to play....the supporters caring about nobodies like wilson, al Raihjls and the rest could join them.Quote:
