It was listed yesterday on virgin media on eurosport and motorstv

That's really odd. I'm looking now and there is nothing. I live in the Midlands. Not sure if there are regional variations

that is strange. its listed here Consumer Site
listings where for VM wales

I've been saying it for years but every type of media coverage we need can be found online. We have instant timing, forums like this, rally radio, apps, YouTube videos, people Tweeting instant pictures. Sure it is nice to sit down in front of the TV with a coffee or a beer and watch the review show but if you want instant information then online is the place to be.

We will be trying something new over at my website for 2012 which I hope will develop as the championship goes on.

Having said all of that, the WRC does unfortunately need a promoter / rights holder with some money who can bankroll the championship and it is unlikely an online provider will be able to do that. Would the FIA even let an online media company buy the rights or are they old and stuck in their ways?

Living in the States, that's how I keep up, anyway, haha. Love the radio broadcasts.

First post, woot!

I am uncertain if ONE HD in Australia will be broadcasting the WRC this year... or from this week... Eurosport in Australia/Asia will be showing the WRC.

Australian Eurosport (GMT +11)

19th Thursday 10.30 (Day 1 - 3 times a day)
20th Friday 10.00 (Day 2 x3)
21st Saturday 09.00 (Day 3 x3)
22nd Sunday 10.00 (Day 4 x3)
23rd Monday 10.00 (Shown ONLY once!)

There is a link in my signature.

I really hope Eurosport can do the same for the WRC as they did with the IRC but I fear it will be to the detriment of one or the other championships, most likely the IRC which is not FIA sanctioned.
