Really gutted by the recent events. Maybe NOS coverage wasn't the best possible but for sure it was better than nothing! And they had routine.

A real shame for WRC, if nothing special happens this is the beginning of an end for the series as we know it. V*ttu mitä paskaa.

Shearing? Haha :D

Motors Tv announces the Preview Show for Sweden. So at least, we will have Motors Tv coverage.

???What???
Free to Air or Pay TV is irrelevant.
We are not talking about the broadcaster, we are talking about one nominated production company traveling to all events making the shows. With consistent voice overs, the same results graphics, similar format highlights packages etc.

At the moment how it stands without a promotor, is that each individual WRC round organisers with have to employ local production companies to video the stages, record interviews, supply graphics etc and then quickly edit and distribute across the globe within hours of the day finishing.

The ability to add or remove good/poor events from the calendar should be decided on more than political expediency towards whoever happens to be a member of the World Motor Sport Council at the time.

Tech stuff, fine, no problem.

Not in this context. It would only work if the promoter promotes the events, not just pocket the money. Might want to check with Turkey and Korea about their 'success story'. In the end, Bernie wins.

At least I could watch free WRC onboards on YouTube, Bernie doesn't let me do that for F1.

No there isn't.

I believe this to be an act of delusion....

No, there isn't. It's just some child or children playing as they did on this forum yesterday (hint: check how old that fb page is). Moderators, please remove posts mentioning this fictitious company as it may be misleading members during a serious time for the WRC.

Edit: Thanks rallyfiend, you beat me to it!

I didnt say it was in a good or bad way, calm down ladies ;)

It might sound funny but that company actually does exist. It is owned by a man named Jonathan Thursby. Their website is a complete joke. Also the fact that they created the Youtube account on the 1st February this year is a bit strange. But the thing that doesn't add up is this - Extreme Video - Products -, and the Thursby character.
