They had audio only in 2018, nice for driving between stages
Not very impressed by WRC+ today...
Cut-off after WRCs on both stages (in the past they used to go back to allive after the TV feed stopped).
No WRC2/3 interviews in media zone either.
And daily highlights didn't show neither Rovanperas off nor Loubets puncture.
Yes, please put emails for them and tell them to show wrc2/3 top guys also on each stage!
They didnt even show the 'extra' Fiesta WRC cars to compensate. Why is there such a time limit when WRC+ is an online service and could carry on after the TV coverage ends ?Quote:

Reducing Heli and transmitting plane costs?
They need to throw the chequebook at Mads. He's a natural.
However I'm sure he wants to still drive, so surely WRC+/AllLive could pay other inactive/ex drivers to step in for single events. Breen seems to do a lot of Reeces when he isn't competing, so could surely do commentary/analysis. Sordo maybe too, Kris Meeke, or any other retired driver.
Sordo does it quite often for the Spanish commentary of WRC+.
In English, it would be "berry" good as well :)
Mads is the best imho.Quote:

For example Meeke for me is much more difficult.
Really enjoyed listening to wrc+ this weekend. Stage end interviews were MILES better than they've been in a long-long time.
Ostberg + Becs are a great combo. Ostberg has the knowledge and a little bit of banter here and there with Becs made it a real pleasure to listen to.
Wish there was someone else in the booth with Julian commentating the power stage.
I don't know the name of the other guy but he seems to be a bit out if it for me.
Today I think you can do comms coveage with a large drone or remotely controlled helicopters.Quote:

but a lot of new solutions that would be interested in being part of WRC could be utilized.
If we had 3 or 4 retirements among WRC cars then we would have seen 3 or 4 WRC2 cars make it into the Live TV stage coverage. Low attrition level is good thig but it has a negative consequence in reduced coverage of support fields
Also we had Bertelli, Tuohino and two Hyundai 2C cars. Katsuta and Loubet are doing full seasons. There were 13 WRC cars starting the event.Quote:

So far from Arctic there is exactly nothing about WRC2/3 in any of these and no vids.
Again, it’s been shown in the YLE broadcasts so the footage exists.Quote:

At least King & Porter have pauses to let you hear the cars go by.
I thought you only watch WRC without commentaryQuote:

Wait for Breen to do the commentary one day :DQuote:

I'm wondering if having no pace notes on wrc+ onboards is something the drivers chose since we have them on all live?
Positively surprised that WRC+ offered a three-month extended WRC+ subscription free of charge without asking due to the last year´s Covid-19 situation and staying their client all the time. During this year I had only one-month subscription at a time.
Hey, thats right! Completely missed it!
I forgot to cancel the yearly subscription in the beginning of the year so I assumed it got autorenewed and I just went ahead with it. :)
Hi, anyone knows if is possible to remove the map from the onboards, at least in the phone, thanks.
Very happy to see all live is working again in Samsung TVs, at least for now!
Do we know how many people pay for the WRC+? I saw almost 600k people watching the livestream of the shakedown on Facebook and I got really impressed with these numbers
Now just need to get the option for no commentary ;)Quote:

Lagging like crazy and rally hasnt even started
Same, have to refresh the page every 30 seconds to see a bit, and repeat. Unusable pretty much. What a piece of ****Quote:

Same...
Not working. Different errors on web and mobile.
started to work now properly (had to refresh all the time for the last 30 minutes but not anymore) on laptop, but still nothing on TV App
i have refreshed 20 times. Seen mby 40 seconds alltogether. Same in phone.
I was able to watch from Fourmaux to Suninen with only two frozen bits, but now it started to mess up again. And I missed the top drivers anyway. Don't feel even like trying anymore, because the constant refreshing is so annoying.
well starts to work now properly on TV App as well for me but lets see then SS2 starts again
still fukked for me. Keeps crashing
