im amazed how you always are defending them
if we are promised LIVE then they should offer it, no matter if i am paying or not.
Many of my friends have come to me and said they wont pay anymore because of this or that didnt work be it shakedown or during the rally, not everybody is with such a patience
SD is "for free" cause it's supposed to be a "commercial" that attracts new paying viewers.
They are showing it free at Youtube also and this should be very good thing to promote their product and WRC, but it´s not possible doing it so badly. Good that you are not disappointed!Quote:

Neuville has done second run, improved by 4 seconds
How is showing SD simple or simpler than showing any stage? . Maybe I defend them because I know many people working in the team and I know how complicated it is. At the same time, I also complain when they screw it up in the middle of the rally. But for this shakedown, I don't care. The drivers rarely have much to say at shakedown stage ends anyway.Quote:

Could be just a stall/spin on a junction. Even with normally working shakedown coverage, we don't get to see what happens in the middle of the stage. We only get one land camera, often the start, and then the ending. This is a 9 km stage, lots of things could happen in the middle.Quote:

Just imagine the shit storm, if the broadcasting team would royally screw up the Olympics opening ceremony.
It's really not the same to broadcast rally cars moving at 120 km/h in the forest compared to Olympics in the stadium where everything has been built in and pre-wired for broadcasting. And same goes for all motorsports on circuits.
If the free shakedown on YouTube is supposed to be their "advertisement" to attract new paying fans to WRC+, I think they failed miserably today.
As a paying customer, I sure hope their coverage later today is better...
We got to see Solbergs crash on SD in Kenya basically immediatelly as it happened in the middle of the stage.Quote:

In the past it was normal with this kind of media policy (not saying what is wrong), these days people expect to know.
All Hyundai and Toyota drivers have completed two runs on shakedown

Could breen just be cruising through the shakedown stage
I heard rumours of engine trouble but heard then he had a flat one.
2nd run he went quite fast on our stage.. quite weird then
