From their POV yes, but not from Producer/Promoter POV. It's odd that a commentator could say something like 'this excellent championship battle will go on to the next round", but they won't be there because whatever at Nurburg is more fun or pays better or whatever.Quote:

I think this will be my final year with wrc+. Like some of the guys say here, they have gotten even worse IMO, you should improve with years, not go backwards or stand still
And I don’t mean just the picture broadcasting but the whole package. Can’t stand Kiri at all with her big mouth doing gestures, nobody of them doesn’t even know the basics of rallying apart from Julien. I have said it previously and say again, the whole crew needs a replacement. I would only leave Becs for voice overs and media interviews.
The robotic answers from them if you have a problem with wrc+. The most common one being “did you clear your cache?”
We have had most of the stages on TV3 Sport channels in Estonia since 2021, they only skip like 3-5 stages per rally and those missing stages I have watched from wrc+ and god it’s horrible. Nowadays I’m basically just using it for maps and split.
WRC "allive" had slowly but surely changed from "alllive" to "TV broadcast delivery service".
When it started (especially on that first Monte) you could see everything happening and it felt like really being at the rally (or maybe even better cause you could follow all liasons etc.) At some point they also had live camera in service park when nothing else was happening.
Now everything is cut to necessary minimum. When there is a problem in stage they basically just turn it off and put on a map or worse (car pictures). The trend of turning off stages or not showing any Rally2 cause they "do not fit schedule" has also gotten worse.
I'm also quite on the verge of not continuing with wrc+. Woke up around 4am and then watched re-live from morning stages and both stages 2 & 4 were basically unwatchable.

I think we should all unsubscribe from WRC- next year, maybe if enough people do it they'll at least realize they're doing something wrong, maybe (although I'm doubtful at this point) they'll even replace at least some of their commentators.Quote:

If I had your option, I’d easily add those €5, it’s even cheaper than what you get monthly for WRC-, and you get an entire sports package.Quote:

If that what it takes for them to come up with something better, then so be it, someone over there needs a serious wake-up call; the situation as it stands can't continue, even 'regular' fans will eventually get fed up with having to deal with their lack of competence each rally. If they're not up to it or can't be bothered with it, they should hand the reigns to someone else, as simple as that, a promoter should promote it's product, not demote it. We have these pretty awesome cars, a lot better than back in 2011 yet they can't seem to capitalize on it.Quote:
