[WRC] News & rumours (part III)

What I don't understand about the live stages:
When there are 2 passes through a stage, why not broadcast them both? If all equipment is there, it should cost that much more to cover them both...

They often are.

That is what's happening in Monte on Sunday - the two passes of the same stage. In Mexico is appears to be the same stage run on both Saturday and Sunday being done.

I guess there needs to be the appetite from broadcasters to take it as well. Just because you produce it, does not mean anyone will take it...

They just have to change angles or walk 20 metres to make it a new stage, if you see what I mean.

But they don't do it in Sweden for instant. Why not broadcasting 5 stages then?

That my friend is the description of Speights. Lolly water is for Ladyboys !!

Can any German speakers interpret this piece on Ilka Minor's website please http://www.minor.at/?p=3570
Seems Ilka Minor and Henning Solberg might be in a Team Adapta Fiesta for all 2015 #WRC events. Seems a very interesting development

I'm glad that the flappy paddle gearbox is back, love it!

Anyone can use this gearbox from now on?

That is indeed what is written in this article, normally they have planned the whole season in WRC with Adapta team of father Ostberg (Morten). Two first rallies are allready sure, the rest will be seen afterwards, but if everything goes according to plan, they will compete in whole championship.:)

I am thinking all teams from now can used a paddle shift.
Fingers crossed for Henning and Ilka,will be nice to see them on all rounds
