Yea that's strange that UK does not have any coverage of the WRC! :S

Really great drive by Pontus, and I hope for a top 10 in Rally Sweden!

I hope you all have enjoyed some swedish championship tv today! ;)

power cables to the cameras and then the video cables from the cameras to the media center.

Then you will also need someone to man all those cameras.

About the cables. There's only one cable for the camera through which image signal, power and communication with the control room go.

An example from the luge world cup, e.g. Sigulda race. The track is 1,2km long with 16 turns. Can't remember how many cameras there were but quite many. Planned time for cabling was two days. Sth like 15km of cables were put down, I think. Now think how it would be with a long stage, not to talk about several stages per rally.

Really enjoyed that live coverage, and it's got me even more excited for WRC Sweden!

Some of the top runners there looked very quick, until Tidemand came through. On a completely different level to the rest.

But I dont's think it's necessary with cameras in every corner. Like on the sprint today, 3-4 cameras is sufficient on a stage in my opinion, it doesn't matter if it's 7 km or 40 km. It's exciting with an image of an empty road with a clock ticking waiting for the car as well. The most important thing is to have the timing functional, today that part wasn't perfect.

If you want a decent high quality broadcast you need lots of different cameras to attract even the average Joe. For Christ sake, rally fans would be happy even if they could see only onboard cameras live.

For high end you'd need several cameras at the key locations, onboard cameras, preferably a helicopter and logically a stage end interview camera
