Thanks for that. Really good stuff from Peugeot UK.

Just shows how pathetic Eurosport's efforts are at covering a rally. Live stages are all well and good but some coherent back to basics coverage like that would be nice. That is literally better then anything Eurosport have done all season. It paints a picture, shows action from the stages and gets some actual comment rather than butchered 30sec interviews.

Big props to Peugeot UK for fully embracing rallying and getting involved in the promotion.

Eurosport on now, hope the weather doesn't effect the broadcast or stop the chopper flying.

They are using the Eurosport footage, but it is just edited better. We should remember though that a lot of the Eurosport shows are actually narrated live (even the non-live stages) Their review shows (shown a couple of days after the rally) are a lot better.

I might have missed something but Eurosport didn't show any of that stuff in their coverage so far. At least not on British Eurosport. The live commentary is half the problem. I understand why they do it as they broadcast in many different countries, but the information we get is very second rate.

If Peugeot UK can get people to edit that piece together, why cant an operation like Eurosport have something of that standard to air before their live broadcast?

I know they probably haven't got the man power or certainly the money. But they just dont take any pride in their coverage IMO.

Stage stopped then.

What a shame! It was great in-car viewing on the stage until the stoppage.
Just heard it is David Bogie stopped in stage that has caused it - no other details, yet..

Stage stopped, that's a real shame. I was enjoying them switching between Meeke & Wilks!

Bogie rolled, crew ok.

Bogie rolled, crew ok but their car is blocking the road

Well done to Kris then.

You have to wonder though. With a bit more testing and a couple of rallies under his belt in the Fabia, I think Guy might have pipped him there. Hopefully it will convince Skoda UK to come up with something for next year. Either way Guy doesn't deserve to be on the sidelines.
