If I remember correctly, next year there will be live tracking, a new website and a new app.

Sounds too good to be true!Quote:

I believe live stage will be streamed for free on WRC.COM failing proper tv?
Meanwhile, according to Italian mag Rally Emotion, WRC will be aired for the first time on FOX Sports in Italy!
They asked Ciesla in Offenbach and he confirmed the deal (which looks a full premium package, with live broadcasts, daily highlights and event reviews)! Not bad at all, imho...
They talked about also free-to-air tv-rights sells, but I think only highlights...

You've got to imagine/hope that with TWO Brits in top drives next season, getting a decent TV deal should be more easy than it has been for nearly 10 years! If Red Bull Media House don't capitalise on this situation in the UK next year, they'll have really missed a golden opportunity. My fear though is that these announcements have come too late for 2014, thus it'll be another year written off for the WRC in the UK, another year of obscurity...Quote:

Welcome, mate - glad you found your way here!
Surely we can have nightly WRC highlights on UK TV again, now that we'll have 2 British full-time drivers in the Championship.
Plus Wales Rally GB was a huge success in 2013 with great social media coverage indicating there is a mass audience out there...
Big UK TV news, BT sport is to show live stages and nightly highlights of the Monte as part of a new deal for the 2014 season. Im guessing highlights are still on ITV4?

BT Sport are building up their sports portfolio, outbidding every other uk tv station for whatever they want. Expect the viewing figures to be below or similar to when wrc was on ESPN though.
Here in CZ the state TV bought rights to broadcast WRC including live coverage. All stuff will be also online on mediasport.cz including some onboards (not live though). It will be probably restricted to Czech IPs. It's definitely good for WRC promotion here.
Exactly!! So less than 10,000...... Though let's be honest. No free to air TV would have shown any interest in Live WRC. Where does that leave Live streaming in the WRC website or RedBull TV???Quote:

Well happy here... I got BT Sport free with their broadband...
Finally something worth watching on it ..:)
Live WRC at last :bounce:
Good news that live coverage will be available in the UK on proper TV, but I won't be paying for this. I hope it is still on WRC.COM?
There's no chance that any Live stage coverage will be on WRC.com in any market that they've sold the TV rights to - either pay or free-to-air.
So actually they probably reduced the audience numbers by moving to pay tv :rolleyes:Quote:

I think it's not that bad as someone written in the above posts... ;)
I would be happy to pay a membership of up to 100 Euro just to get access to the onboards at the end of each day. What we get in AUS is pathetic. You have to wait until someone puts something on YouTube.
Probably.Quote:

Circuit racing would be infinitely cheaper TV to produce than rallying.
No helicopters, no planes, cabled cameras etc etc.

For those interested, you get BT Sport free with their broadband, currently half price for 6 months with a £40 Sainsbury giftcard: http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/p ... d/packages

Great to have @MotorsTV covering WRC again this year. And delighted to let you know commentary will be provided by myself and @Becsywecsy
And as a bonus Motors Tv might be going HD at last!
BT Sport to broadcast live coverage of the FIA World Rally Championship + full TV choices:
The pay-TV sports channel’s coverage revs into gear with the opening event of the 2014 season next weekend, the famous Rallye Monte Carlo, running from January 14-19.
In total, BT Sport will screen 26 stages across the 13 rallies that make up the 2014 calendar, bringing regular live rallying back to UK screens for the first time since ESPN covered the ‘Power Stages’ during the 2011 WRC season.
BT Sport’s WRC coverage begins a mid-week season preview on January 15 followed by nightly coverage of the Monte Carlo Rally itself over the weekend of January 17-19.
There will be live coverage of both runs over the 10-mile Sospel-Breil sur Roya stage next Saturday afternoon and evening on BT Sport, the second run of which will be a ‘Power Stage’, which rewards its top three finishers with bonus championship points.
Coverage of all other 12 rallies will include a preview and a review show for each rally and a daily highlights show, which will all run across BT Sport’s three channels – BT Sport 1 and 2, and ESPN.
BT Sport viewers will now be able to follow the fortunes of top British drivers Elfyn Evans and Kris Meeke, as well as international stars Sebastien Ogier – the defending world champion – Mikko Hirvonen, Thierry Neuville and Jari-Matti Latvala.
Northern Irishman Meeke will drive for Citroen in 2014 and this will be the first time that British driver has been part of a main factory team since the days when Richard Burns and Colin McRae brought the sport to the British public’s attention in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Ogier and his Volkswagen team begin the defence of their title in Monte Carlo and you can follow all the action throughout the season on BT Sport. BT Sport’s live WRC TV deal does not affect the championship’s arrangement for free-to-air coverage with ITV Sport, who brought the WRC back to mainstream UK television last season.
ITV4 will continue to screen one-hour highlights of each WRC event on Tuesday evenings following each rally.
In addition, dedicated motorsports channel Motors TV has announced that daily highlights of each WRC event will return to its screens in 2014, meaning rally fans now have a choice of following the championship via three different UK networks.
All these are good!
But I hope the official feed as produced by Red Bull to be improved at last to make it more exciting and worth watching.
World Rally Championship promised record live TV coverage in 2014 ... http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/111511
Lets see... :rolleyes:
Powerstage from MC will be live on Viasat Sport in Norway. Live broadcast from Sweden was too expensive since Norway is considered to a the "home" country.
BT Sport can be watched online here - http://www.hqsport.tv/bt_sport1.php
Is there an Android app with live WRC timing?
Third TV-deal in a row for WRC Promoter in Italy! After FOX Sports and RAI Sport, an agreement was reached with Dinamica Channel, a motors-oriented free-to-air channel!

I tried this, absolutelly fantastic picture quality :bounce:Quote:

When should broadcast of something rally-relevant begin?
BT Sport 1, 13:00 CETQuote:

The day one round up last night was less good. Not much action and too many weird slo-mos.
When will be the next live coverage?
Starts in 15 mins, I hopeQuote:

I thought the coverage was pretty good. However, to miss 3 major incidents was slightly odd. Surely all the top runners have an in car camera? They also need to let us hear the pace-notes, and not to talk over them.Quote:
