After Eurosport, is there anyone left to do the coverage this year? Fans with their cameras I guess. Which in fact isnīt a bad thing -> no stupid oh-my commentaries accompanied by terrible music tracks, just sweet sounds of the machines.

Actually it is doable, I mean to produce a rally review with fans footage. But it will demand really good co-operation between all the filming rally fans who are willing to contribute. The only that are harder to get are the stage end comments (first emotions are always natural) and more in-depth service park interviews and of course the onboard footage.Quote:

But a totally another question is how will the FIA look at this kind of "fan TV reviews" (the legality of it).
It might be one really crazy, hard and fun thing in the end.
I guess some numbers must be agreed. Who wouldn't take advantage and play a little hardball in Eurosport's position? I'm sure it will sort out..
But hope at least they don't mess with FIA's "roadmap" for future coverage. As it looked really nice.
FIA's? Or North One Sport's?Quote:

Perhaps all agreed that Eurosport would never be able to deliver it.

You would have to have an audition first to go through something like a fan based program. Many of us have so good cameras now that you wouldn't be able to tell the picture quality from the normal broadcast. I'm probably traveling around mostly on my own this time, so planning on getting lots of stages and footage anyway :)
I think sponsors are happy when the coverage gets loads of eye balls, after all they are there for the exposure.Quote:
