Does any one know if you are able to go back and re-watch all the stages from Monte Carlo? I understand that replays are on demand however I can only find the highlights on the web browser and android phone app version.

Yes you can.Quote:

I am hoping that it was just a bug or an oversight on their part. If their plan is to only make the All Live coverage available to stream until the start of the following rally, that's kind of unacceptable in my opinion.
What does it cost, anyway? Some storage space on a server somewhere? I know the Promoter is a tight bugger, but come on...
If you go the Schedule bit, it will let you select the rallies.. difficult to pick out which live stream is which.. some say to upgrade to watch all and the next one works..
I've been thinking about reasons why and comparing it too things like NFL game pass and NBA. WIth the US ones you are only able to get the yearly pass, if you go the monthly route you are required to go the full 12 months. However with the Rally you can get 1 month and cancel after the month, so I suppose they want to prevent people from getting it in December and watching the whole year in a month and saving money?Quote:

Bloody disaster so far.
New lead presenter (why?) who doesn't seem to know anything about the sport.
Desborough going from co-presenter, where he was actually good, back to color commentary, where he just doesn't work well.
Lightpods blinding the cameras to the point where not even the commentators can make out what's going on, and yet nobody can think to tell the drivers to turn them off? Or adjust the cameras?
Fancy new timing supplier that can't even manage to provide live timing on a short superspecial, so nobody at home can tell who's up and who's down.
Just get a cameraman at the finish line so we can at least tell who won each heat!
And throughout it all, a commentary team that for whatever reason can't bring themselves to say, "we apologise to the viewers. We are clearly suffering from some technical issues and we're doing our best to get it working. In the meantime here is what we believe are the standings so far..." A brand new viewer would think that this is how things normally are and would swear off the sport forever.
I understand it's not easy to get all of this right, but it's so frustrating to see.
If the live timing doesn't work tomorrow, somebody needs to be fired. Not disciplined, fired.
Timing works well. All time pop-up quite fast. Trouble that now graphic times on TV screen it's TV director issue, not timing system.Quote:

All other sports use larger and normal takes (more like the amateurs' ones) that don't make you feel sick by zooming in and out so wildly. Imagine them filming a soccer match and framing only the players' shoes...:grenade: Slowmo, falling gopros and all other cinematographic tricks are captivating for advertisments. They are really nice as appetizers but it's exactly the contrary when the cars are on the stages. That's the main reason why I chose motorsportfilmer and the other uploaders over wrc+ as my official wrc broadcasters :) They should buy their thrilling videos since they upload in no time and in very high quality (actually they use their work right now when something get lost). For what it concerns advertising purposes, just separately embed two minutes of publicity instead of placing the cameras on straights to include the banner, recording pointless images. I heared that tv spectators' attention is so focused on cars and motorbikes in circuit racing that they almost don't notice the banner (You may have noticed that by yourself).Quote:

Then again stopped for a while with Paddon's time. And all that follows was then delayed too much. That system is crap until they fix it properly.Quote:

I guess it saves them a few cents on bandwidth, but I mean some of the onboards have less detail than they did in the early 2000s! They spend tens of thousands of euros on giant cameras and lenses that could capture microscopic detail, but the final product literally looks worse than what some guy uploads onto youtube from his iPhone for free. But yeah, I don't want to complain too much about that yet. There are more basic problems to sort out first.
What happened to the blonde presenter from Monte? She was good
Cars are on the stage and we have only interviews from yesterday...
Yes, where is Kiri? :(Quote:

My impression is that they wanted to give more than one girl a trial run, so it was decided well in advance that Kiri Bloore would do Monte and Alexandra Legouix (who some might remember from WTCC) would do Sweden, and they'd decide from there. I feel awful saying this, but so far Legouix has been pure cringe. I know she's dealing with noob director/producers, but Bloore had it even worse and she seemed to raise the quality of the whole production. Legouix needs a script in order to shine.Quote:

Yep, she's much better as a co presenter giving her analysis/views, rather than being left on her own like she was at times in Monte (like on the start line etc)Quote:

I see the deaf guy is back on the mixing console again, so that's good. :mad:
It's amazing to me how by the end of Monte they had a decent setup and now they've just gone two steps back!
And I agree about the presenters, also I'd like to see Colin Clark do the interviews in that media area before service.
Good coverage again from the media zone and service here.

Got to be honest, really enjoying the coverage, despite Desborough's stupid observations. The lady, 'Molly' is great.
Thoughts from mid-day:
Studio setting is much improved. It's nice that we can see activity in the service park in the background while presenters are talking. Feels like the morning news.
Becs+Desborough works surprisingly well. Desborough in particular is more no-nonsense than ever about driver performance. His, "yeah, last year he crashed into a tree" bit reminded me of James Hunt a little. Please keep it up. And his camera presence improved massively from Monte.
Skoda car onboard cameras are great. Super interesting top-down view into the cockpit, and of course the much longed-for 'center, over the shoulder' view. Could be lowered slightly, but I'm not going to complain given the camera placement on some other cars.
The drivers' PR girls need to make it clear to the teams that in the media zone, when the live cameras are on, TV gets priority. All debriefing stops, and you do the interview. Luckily Molly Pettit has learned to vamp a bit, but she shouldn't have to wait for engineers to finish debriefing to get an interview in the MEDIA zone. But to be fair Molly herself needs to get her elbows out. And if you're live, you get priority over pre-rec. Everyone else gets the fuck out of the way, immediately.
Live segments from the media zone are consistently the most interesting addition to the coverage this year. The hustle and bustle of all those people, it all feels very F1. In a good way.
And I like new girl here. She looked more natural rather then old blonde with extra big eyes and very simulated emotions.
Can't agree but opinions are opinions. Feel like Kiri Bloore was a lot more natural and relaxed, and better when having to do a bit of 'off the cuff' presenting (like when the live feeds fail, or they need to fill some time in the studio).Quote:

I always feel for her when she plows through the other reporters and they're giving her stick for it. She's getting live interviews for millions of people watching and those old farts writing for magazines that some 20 people read a month get so butthurt. Get a grip folks. You are not a live medium. Ask your questions later.Quote:

Great new POV camera angle in Ostberg's car ...even better one in Hennings's. It si much better to see out of the car and work on the wheel in the same shot.
Dark girl is (thankfully) more natural today than yesterday. Fingers crossed for red hair version in Mexico :-D.
For me half of the time Alexandra is talking she sounds extremely bored. Sure Kiri was sometimes over-excited, but for me that's better than bored.
What a turnaround from yesterday and this morning. Production improved in almost all areas in the afternoon.
Amazing how much bigger the rally feels when you're watching it stage by stage rather than on the daily highlights. Every second won or lost feels significant now. This is becoming a really compelling show.
