Is that an increase?
Seems like a lot.
Basically they are saying on average each event will have at least two stages broadcasted live.Quote:

Not really a lot but hopefully that's a minimum and there will still be a few more live stages available from the 'home' broadcaster on certain events...Quote:

Dark round steering wheel! :D
What I don't understand about the live stages:
When there are 2 passes through a stage, why not broadcast them both? If all equipment is there, it should cost that much more to cover them both...
They often are.Quote:

I guess there needs to be the appetite from broadcasters to take it as well. Just because you produce it, does not mean anyone will take it...
They just have to change angles or walk 20 metres to make it a new stage, if you see what I mean.Quote:

Seems Ilka Minor and Henning Solberg might be in a Team Adapta Fiesta for all 2015 #WRC events. Seems a very interesting development

That is indeed what is written in this article, normally they have planned the whole season in WRC with Adapta team of father Ostberg (Morten). Two first rallies are allready sure, the rest will be seen afterwards, but if everything goes according to plan, they will compete in whole championship.:)Quote:

I'd be amazed if the British Autosport had the Monte as their cover story.....but we'll wait and see.
I'm afraid the soul of Autosport magazine has sold its covers to the F1 devil
My money would be on another pretty picture of Button, with some vaguely newsworthy headline about Honda...
Autosport cop a lot of flack for their covers/editorial direction but when I did work experience there they told me that issue sales drop massively every time they try and feature an alternative cover. What would you do?Quote:

Yes that is sad, in general magazines are going through difficult period indeed. But by showing on the cover there is more to come than only Eccelstone's wallet, it might attract a wider range of Motorsport interest. On other hand I believe you that they have tried many options. I think Autosport is by far the best Motorsport magazine in the world, in the same category as the BBC; good and reliable - ish. For me a magazine is great to have a relax moment and dig some deeper than the Internet does. The power of the Internet is also the reason 'Autosport' is not for sale here in Benelux anymore.
Motorsport News is for rally fans in the UK:Quote:

They ran with a BTCC cover, and the circulation dropped quite significantly. They are a business, not a charity. However, they do concentrate on F1 to the detriment of the other series - whereas once all got a decent spice of the pie.Quote:

Autosport certainly did sell itself to F1. The "Special Stage" section has long gone. But the online version is just about ok.
WRC Promoter confirms UK fans will be able to watch the 2015 WRC season on both BT Sport & ITV4 ... :D
