Wrc+

Really enjoyed listening to wrc+ this weekend. Stage end interviews were MILES better than they've been in a long-long time.
Ostberg + Becs are a great combo. Ostberg has the knowledge and a little bit of banter here and there with Becs made it a real pleasure to listen to.
Wish there was someone else in the booth with Julian commentating the power stage.
I don't know the name of the other guy but he seems to be a bit out if it for me.

Today I think you can do comms coveage with a large drone or remotely controlled helicopters.
That will reduce cost a lot.

With new satcom providers cost of that will come down. Needed bandwith will maybe be a brakepad on spacex satcom in the beginning.
but a lot of new solutions that would be interested in being part of WRC could be utilized.

If we had 3 or 4 retirements among WRC cars then we would have seen 3 or 4 WRC2 cars make it into the Live TV stage coverage. Low attrition level is good thig but it has a negative consequence in reduced coverage of support fields

Also we had Bertelli, Tuohino and two Hyundai 2C cars. Katsuta and Loubet are doing full seasons. There were 13 WRC cars starting the event.

One thing is what is shown on allive. But usually you got a 2-3 min part with WRC2/3 in daily highlights and sometimes even own vid.

So far from Arctic there is exactly nothing about WRC2/3 in any of these and no vids.

Again, it’s been shown in the YLE broadcasts so the footage exists.

Re Mads: yes his knowledge and info are great, but he never knows when to stop talking. Like with anyone this grates after a while.

At least King & Porter have pauses to let you hear the cars go by.

I thought you only watch WRC without commentary

You can always open a second browser and listen to car sounds from youtube

One reason for me is that he speaks English in a way that i can understand very easy.
For example Meeke for me is much more difficult.

Wait for Breen to do the commentary one day :D
