I was interested in going - but the spectator points/ timings aren't great.....A shame neither Sweetlamb or Epynt aren't used. BRC should have more spectator friendly events.....

It's the Severn Valley Stages - not the Nicky Grist!Quote:

Looking at the final results (https://results.djames.org.uk/result...al+Results+PDF), it only cost him one or two places. He wasn't generally as quick as Pryce and it was a toss-up between Max and Evans as to who would have been second without Max's puncture. If you want to do more analysis, have a look at the options on the TCS results page here https://results.djames.org.uk/results/. The shortage of strong opposition has helped him a bit here and may well help others as the season goes on.Quote:

How to put a positive spin on why there wont be any more terrestrial tv coverage for the BRC when not enough people are watching it. Just call it exciting social first. IMO needs all the outlets it can get but if the viewing figures and number of competitors don't stack up then no money to pay presenters and crew.
The online coverage was no different than before. Stage ends only from the BRC on YT and I guess the FB was the same.
Same team too, no sign of Chris Rawes or Peter MacKay so they must only be doing the YT highlights.
But then with only a few serious top class competitors what can you expect. I suppose we should be glad of what there is and of the live action by Special Stage and Xlerate...
Just tried watching the BRC first round "highlights" on YT and quickly gave up! Obviously zero budget with footage shot on Go-pros and godawful background muzak. Nul points from me..

Not great action but told the story. Hopefully the future rounds will be better.
A bit of good news for this weekend's Rally of the Lakes.. there was some free live coverage by On the Limit Sports...
