Motors TV is making the poorest footage motorsport has probably ever seen.
Insane. If it does not get better I will be more than happy to wait for a few extra days to view the Eurosport stuff we know and love.
Motors TV are all either brainless or they cant be bothered signing a contract with 5 minutes outside footage. Whoever made the call to say 'Yes that's fine' is brainless...
Just watched Brazil's IRC round from EuroSport...
Review consisted of: Driver profiles, Tire manufacturer profile;
SS1,SS7,SS6 and then SS10 on day two also 2WD crash at the end..
Though only showing a few stages their coverage was much much better than MotorsTV to the WRC....!
Helicam's make the IRC/S2000 cars so fast and exciting to watch! Have you guys seen the in-car Driver vs Driver footage? Ie Meeke vs Wilks on one stage? It's a billion times better being able to see the difference between styles of driving, their speeds and actually how behind one driver is to the other in points of the road, turns, locations and timing on the stage. I would have to admit much better than silly Visual Spectator!
WRC is great in it's own right with ISC/N.O making their coverage but IRC is miles ahead of the MotorsTV coverage... and is much more exciting to watch and follow. But they should cover more stages in the review... but that's why there are the daily highlights and live coverage! Sooo.......
(Just a question... if anyone else follows the IRC - or perhaps to ask in that forum) why is there NO issue of Road Sweeping/Positioning in the IRC? They don't speak of it and they don't seem to have that issue as does the WRC....?
That split window with two drivers is perfect to really get the idea on where the drivers and cars differ - more of that also in WRC.Quote:

Im not an expert, and Im not even sure what IRC is. But they mentioned that the other races that were going on PWRC and so on, had no problems because the WRC cars went first, eliminating road sweeping for the rest.Quote:

Yes, but if you've read this thread at all you'll know that they are not allowed to do that by the WRC.Quote:

Motors TV can only go with what they're given. Blame NorthOneSport - why on earth do they have those cameras looking back at the drivers, they're useless!! Show us the stages - and give us more stageside action!!Quote:
