Boo-frickin-hoo

He was just pointing out that in all the years the ISC/North One have been in charge they've done nothing of note. Thinking that there is going to be any change from this is foolish to say the least.

I agree, it's the wrong way around anyway. People get paid lots because it's a high profile sport, not the other way around. To be honest who actually cares how much Loeb is paid?

Agree partly with your opinion of ISC/North One, but thats no reason for not discussing it.
And who says its foolish to think that there could be a change? You? Barreis? To stamp something as foolish is IMO very far from constructive.

Just red in last EVO that Prodrive and Mini are close to the deal.. It's shame that Eurosport didn't do WRC instead of IRC cos I like it very much and that's future of any sport: LIVE TV.. :)

I don't say not to discuss it. I was simply saying that you shouldn't just dismiss what he said. Like I said, the ISC has had YEARS to change the coverage and previously we had Skoda, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Ford, Hyundai, Citroen and Peugeot all in at the same time and in conjunction with the FIA they ran the sport into the ground.

should be on show with the DS3 at next months Geneva Motorshow

First step would be, not to treat the fans as idiots. All the fake hoopla on wrc.com is not fooling anyone. Nor are the tv-shows presented as if it were live. The obsessive media control ISC/NOT plans to do will not help the WRC in the long run.

5Live / Talksport - do offer some brief update, but the round up program or hourly catchup would be good.
Nice ideal is Totalrally.com - would be good to have this on mainstream radio once a week.

Maybe they can look into some new directions also, for example they could make an Iphone application to start with. Including Live Rally Radio, news, videos and pics?

IRC have an Iphone application who is updated often with news and pics (no radio, yet)

The iRally application has most of that... :) At least radio and news :D

The truth is they can't do better then this 'cos nobody wants to buy live show.. This kinda show they produce right now is only about true fans and what about wide audience?! Eurosport is producing their own program and no problem 'cos they know that 12 millions people watch it (1/4 would watch whatever they have on the program that moment).. Copy/paste Eurosport.. :)
