Did I see correct? In Aaron Johnston place in the Katsuta screen they have Sean Johnston face?
Dont suppose they brought back the pure sound audio feed did they ?
Who commentates with Becks on SS8?
Nope.Quote:

They need former drivers, to pick up details in cars and drivers.
Same. I dont bother with WRC+ at all now.Quote:

Good decision to show the middle of this stage where the snow is instead of the end like usual.
If wrc+'s 30 min daily highlights are free to watch on redbulltv... Why dont they upload it on YouTube where it would catch some extra casual viewers that might get interested in the sport? I mean, world rallycross was uploaded for free on redbulltv and yet 50% of the "fans" kept complaining on facebook that they wanted to watch but couldnt pay for the RX+ app. I mean, they dont even knen redbullTV existed haha
Thank all the gods past present and future from Ra to the god emperor of Warhammer 40000 that this Powerstage with an epic battle between the two Sebs features no Jon Desborough! Thank you!
I would rather listen to Jon than Becs
Mads, we need you back behind the mic!
Every time I see Jon Desborough, I think of Max Headroom

At Monte we were guests of the promoter of the FIA World Rally Championship who really opened the doors of WRC All Live for us.
Here's how it works !

The 'over the shoulder' onboard angle in Huttunen's Fiesta is almost comically bad!
Drones are a nice addition
Pls give Mads a ring, we deserve it!
Some times it is painful to listen to them. So many hours they have done this job, and still most of the stage commentators, are clueless on what affects what on stages, drivingstyles and so on.
And on Ss16 they cut the bradcast after 7,5 cars, after Evans went off.
There was 30 min till next stage starts. Why stop there?
Even on Norwegian and Swedish championship events they are able to keep the end of stage interviews going on one stage until the next starts. Only voice, but that is fine!
Anyone else sick of Paul King.... he's nearly as annoying now as Jon Desborough.
Anybody is annoying when you spend the time we do listening/hearing them, it's same anywhere in life.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion but i didn’t like them. At least not the way it was done. Looked like some weird sequence from a computer game.Quote:

There's nobody in the first category for me in rallying, while plenty are in the second.Quote:

I share your opinion. To me that kind of fast moving drone footage is just restless and pointless, taking the attention away from the actual driving. In Umeå stage I was in a section where they had that drone and I was spectating more the drone than the cars. This could be though due to the fact the drone is new. I hope the drone won't hit any spectator while flying wild.Quote:

You could see a bit later when Breen was driving in EV mode to the closest escape road that there was a WRCTV guy doing something (fixing the drone?) in the boot of his car (also totally unawere there's a rally car coming behind him - since it had no sound in EV) :)
I understand this point as well. WRC+ needs to balance between showing what is happening and being entertaining. For example many people would like to see helmet cam, but in my opinion it's something that looks wild even on slower driving but gives little information of what is actually happening. Maybe this drone is towards entertainment, but still a nice "closer helicopter view" when done properly. Also it looks a bit like video game chase cam, which could look attracting to video game people?Quote:

In Sweden, we had both the sublime and the ridiculous. There was one tracking shot, next to the house towards the end of the powerstage (a fast right-hander over a small crest/jump) that was quite beautiful, it would be great to see more like that, a great example of what these cars can do.
Then we had the slightly tense moment where Tanak was approaching Breen's awkwardly-parked car on SS14, aaaaand... they switched to a view of the crew's faces right when they needed to be looking out of the windscreen. Totally nonsensical.
Heh, I've been talking about this already like 15 years ago (and actually did some timing in highlights, where this view was almost as used as the regular onboard view).Quote:

As I said yesterday regarding the Paul King commentary - they're still seemingly stuck in the North One era; the same camera shots, poor choice of stage side cameras, etc Considering how good Red Bull are at producing action sports, I do wonder how much influence they have in the WRC coverage.
Who else is there from North One era?Quote:

Posting here because more people watch the WRC All-Live than ERC, and maybe the guys from the promoter monitor this thread.. is it a common problem on the All-Live platform that the sound becomes unsynchronised from the pictures? It's really disorientating, makes it almost unwatchable for me!
It happens to me almost every time I use it with a chromecast. I have to restart it during every stage at least once.Quote:

Yep, Chromecast here.Quote:
