You do not have to deal with his comments, just ignore them.

Rally is developing as great as expected.
Sordo has done always very good in Argentina, and this year seems to be the case also.
This morning stages may be the only ones with some sweeping effect. I expected that after rain, this effect is minimized or even some advantage for first runners, but seems soem very small sweeping (or just "line reading") is present here.

Evans fastest by far.

Evans 4.5 quicker than anyone!!!!!

Go Evans !! :D

Hanninen very slow btw.

1 - Ogier Sébastien / Ingrassia Julien): A wrong pacenote in a tight corner. I went straight on in a corner and into a ditch. I lost 5 or 6 seconds. The car looks ok.

Great start fot the Brits.. now 1-2. :)

Do they have experience with rally coverage?
Well the amount of high level events that would be broadcast in Argentina is one per year... So no.

Do they specialize in rally coverage like the WRC promoter team?
I doubt that they have only one job per year... So no. They likely cover soccer or other sport events for most of the year.

Do they have the budget?
Soccer is massively more popular, rally, comparatively, not so much... So likely no.

Did anyone anywhere promise the product of a lifetime?
Well... No.

We have been complaining for ages that the local feeds were not being used and that the potential was being wasted.

Now they have done exactly what we asked them to do and what happens?... People complain about that too.

I mean... Really?

It is completely voluntary to watch. It is bonus content, so treat it as such. You don't have to watch it if you don't like.

Rally fans are apparently the hardest people to please in the world if this forum is anything to go by.

Actually, the local broadcast on WRC+ was from Fox Sports 3, a channel dedicated to Motorsport with a commentator dedicated to rally. All rounds of the championship are broadcast here. Sure, it's not on par with European broadcasts but it does the job for me, year round.

Ogier is opening the road and had an overshoot !

What a driver Ogier. Even with a wrong pacenote he's able to save the car.

Bertelli faster than Hanninen :D

Hanninen with engine problems, no power i heard

Paddon

I wonder if the assymetrical dowforce on Ogier's car will hamper him later.

Also, holy hell Elfyn :)

That's what I was thinkinig about as well... Maybe expert guys here to anticipate how he will be affected by it?

Ogiers time would've been good had he not made a mistake tbf

Paddon should start focusing on being a rally driver instead of a social media junkie and promoter of worthless events in sheepland.

People will no doubt think you're being too harsh, but since his win in Argentina last year he's been nowhere in terms of pace.

he said he lost only 5-6 secs because of his mistake, he lost 17 seconds to Evans in the end....

But Evans had a much cleaner road.

I think this might be at least one of several reason he´s not performing well atm.

Seeing the images from shakedown I wouldn't feel myself comfortable at all here - if I had a tragic accident with a spectator just four months a go like Paddon had.

Ogier looking good here on the early splits.

then he should have stayed home for the rest of the year, he is getting payed for a reason.

Tanak good at the second split, good to see. Hopefully his tweaks in between the stages has worked

Looks like Tanak's adjustments are working...
