Now saying i've no subscription wtf
And there it went again?
yeah it's gone
After a break of not really following the rallies on WRC+, I've been watching the last few nearly from start to finish. And I'd like to complain. Ok, Molly doing the service park bits was a nice breeze of fresh air. But the commentary team needs a serious shake up. Most of the time it feels so generic that they might as well be comparing washing powder. Only Porter can not carry it. Often it feels like they know as little as the viewer who doesn't follow anything else besides the All Live.
When All Live started, it felt like there was ambition. Now it just feels like 9 to 5 job and no ambition.
They need more guys like Østberg - people with recent experience of how everything works, and enjoy explaining in great detail. Porter's knowledge (like Brundle in F1) is decades old and of ever diminishing relevance. I also feel like they're wasting Seb Marshall on these stage ends. All he can do is ask the same generic questions Molly used to ask, and his experience doesn't help here. At least in co-comms, he would be able to share his experience.
I subscribed for a month and watched bits of Sardinia and some Safari while I was there. Didn’t bother to renew and can’t see why I ever would again.
I've always found it awkward that the stage end reporter can't converse naturally with the commentary team. "Let's hope Molly asks him about a potential issue", she asks about conditions, then 3 minutes later, "Whatsapp from Molly, says she could smell oil".
Is that down to delay? They can't say "Hey Molly, looks like an engine issue", "Yes let's find out, and I can smell oil" ?
Naturally there is a delay. What you have seen on All live in reality happened many, many seconds ago. Delay is because of transmission and also live is delayed to allow director to switch in time to correct camera or cut the stream from camera in case something bad happen (like Suninen in Portugal). So in fact what you can see happened +- 30 seconds ago...
