I notice Monte Carlo organisers are pleading for media coverage next year

Poll update; WRC leading on 45% while the IRC has 30% of the votes

It depends how long time eurosport is interested, when IRC started i remember that some people spoke about several hours coverage/event, well I dont think its true really, the coverage is not very good, and a big part is from the service park.
As I've just had satellite TV installed, I watched the coverage of Rally Russia on Eurosport. To be quite frank the TV coverage was awful - you couldn't really hear the cars as the voice over was too loud! And I thought the WRC coverage was bad. Not good at all.Quote:

In my view Hänninen is the most promising young finn. Give that guy proper wrc and he is at the top level after one year (like Latvala). Last year he was already beating stage times of H. Solberg and likes with private Mitsubishi wrc.
One interesting feature in Hänninen is that he has never retired the rally due to crash (according to Chris Biewer). He has suffered few incidents but has never left the rally due to crash.
Jean-Pierre Nicolas said: “It’s been another closelyfought
rally, in which we at Eurosport Events have been very happy to seef the emergence of
an exciting new talent in the shape of Juho Hanninen. He seems set to be the latest in the
long line of Finns that have lifted the profile of the sport, and we hope to see him out on the
IRC again soon.”
He for sure has big potential, what never stops to amaze me is that even the events are new he is on the pace right away.
Hopefully he will get a WRC for a few events next year, a Citroen or Ford would be good.
Belive me, put Latvala in S2000 car and he will be beaten by Rossetti. Of course in opposite direction is the same situation.
If a driver is in WRC that doesn't mean he is fast, in 80% of cases he has money and is average.
In other series that is not so obvious.
I can see very silly comments here, how you can compare series by length of their tv coverage? VERY BIG LOL

Ok, I'm going back to ERC section, it's a miracle I wrote anything here!
In the beginning IRC promised to have 8 hours worth of coverage from every event on Eurosport, ofcourse they forgot to tell that this 8 hours includes all re-runs and Eurosport Apac as well but if you are happy with this then by all means. It just happens to be that a good media and especially TV coverage is a must in modern world for succesfull series and if the current coverage is any indication of the overall quality of IRC then it won't take long before it's gone by the wind...Quote:
