You don't like the fake lens flare? Looks like that tree in the corner is really shining bright. :)Quote:

The change to AP4 regs in New Zealand and Hayden are having really positive effects in New Zealand rallying.
AP4 really has made a difference.

For anyone with a few hours to kill and a technical interest in cars (and has an interest fabrication and things well done on very Rally centric build), here you go:

Why are we seeing lots of privater teams/drivers" entering RallyCross series and WorldRX races and theres almost no one doing the same with WRC? Is the WRC program That expensive or is just lack of interest? It'd be pretty cool to have, lets say... someone bringing a Clio or a Peugeot (just exemples) for a race or two, having a decent run, who knows...
In my opinion it is a lot more difficult to succeed as a privateer in WRC, mainly because the events are hundreds of kilometers long and You drive only against the clocks. It's very difficult to be on par with big manufacturers in such scenario.
Plus if you're a privateer in WRX you get far more screentime and exposure for sponsors. Anyone who watched the Loheac coverage last weekend could see that. WRC Promoter could learn a lot from WRX.
Maybe also compare those privateers performances to those of the current privateers in WRC. Petter Solberg sure got a good exposure during the years he was a privateer in WRC... And apart from once in Monte Carlo, I think Robert Kubica also got a decent exposure, according to how the results were.Quote:

Yet there are no such difference in team size and budget, so we have a lot of even teams you can try to match. Not like VW in wrc, where you need to be international mammoth company to rival them.
Well technically Petter Solberg is a privateer now in WRX. So obviously coverage increases with good results - in any sport. But in the last WRX round they were showing real local privateers and full races featuring their cars. More TV time in one two-hour broadcast than maybe Al Rajhi gets in an entire season. And let's be honest the only reason he gets airtime is when he crashes - which isn't really something you can pitch to sponsors.Quote:

You're so right, but I think this is just a tendency in promoting the sport. Ogier got airtime in NORF when he actually - spun.Quote:

You don't seem to understand but whatever.

But... what could WRC learn from WRX? Its totally different.
I just watch those three 30min highlights from WRC on RedBullTV (or at my local cable tv [Brazil - FoxSports] during the week after following results on twitter.
Im about to sign WRC+ to see how it is. But I dont think I have free time during weekends to watch it for more than... 1hour? (yes, working on weekends)
IDK how WRC could improve its product on TV or internet. Its complicated...
To be honest, it's rather easy. They just need to start fixing their mistakes.Quote:

3. Fire the live broadcasts director or the producers who came up with that hideous idea to include random interview segments to live stages.
4. Rethink the entire internet marketing (from used photos to posted official videos/onboards to actually endorsing fan generated content)
5. Improve on filming locations. Currently the only film crew who gets awesome shots is the crazy helicam guys. Drone is nice but I still think it's more of a gimmick when it comes to filming stage action. Obviously onboard camera positions aren't great either.
I really don't know what they should fix first.
The onboard camera position is largely caused by new FIA safety requirements after one accident when the camera got loose (I think it was with Bertelli).

That'a rubbish because it's quite easy to secure them a little extra to keep that from happening.Quote:

You can see it all the way at the top, just get it 10 cm lower. Maybe they could add a little piece to the roll cage to make it easier to mount with no extensions. Roll cage in Mats Lysen's RX car was perfect, just straight on with the Gopro roll cage mount.

How can the position of the camera affect the fact that it got loose ? usually when something is getting loose if because of the support not the position.Quote:

I just described how the situation is. Last year in Barum scrutineering FIA stewards moved cameras in many cars because of that.Quote:

Time for someone who smells money to make some system that can be approved by FIA... :) Onboard videos where the camera is placed more to the back of the car are so much more enjoyable to watch. You get the feeling of the car in relationship to the road 10 times more than when the camera is sitting just behind the windscreen. I don't understand why the promotor is just leaving things like they are right now...
