Molly is much better than Kiri.
Yes I’d prefer we only had her instead of Kiri, with all due respect.Quote:

Maybe some of yous need to take a rally off now and then.
Total rubbish.Quote:

Hopefully she will continue to drive, to become better at that, to become better as a rally journalist!
The thing that amazes me is Molly's accent, I don't think any English person would readily recognise from her accent that she isn't entirely English. The more you listen and know she's Norwegian, you can hear it in places though. Apologies if I'm wrong, but isn't it a bit of a thing with Norwegian women in particular who speak English publicly that they try hard to shed the Norwegian accent out of it, because the Solberg style, somewhat 'hurdy-gurdy' heavily accented English (which I love! :D ) isn't considered cool?
(I know her dad is English, btw)
Hmmm.Quote:

Just about everybody who has appeared on AllLive has had a ribbing here. The "skiing man", the "Citroen woman", the "Brazilian social media star", regulars Jon, Julian, Paul, Ben, Becs, Abi, Kiri, Molly, Colin, Mads, Kris, Marcus... comical really. Yes everyone can have their opinion but it's not always everything has to be shared - and I know I'm not immune.
If anyone deserves a praise this weekend, it was Neil Cole, it was a pleasure having him back, also Imho Paul King does a better job as a stage end reporter than a commentator.
I hadn't realised Neil Cole hadn't been involved in the WRC at all since 2013.
Read them and you'll see mine are mainly criticism of the commentators on the live coverage and for talking too much over the action.Quote:

Kiri is fine but really like Molly better.

Anyone seeing where the onboard multi cam button is? Apparently it's back
Molly has a bit more authority maybe due to her extensive experience behind the wheel herself.Quote:

Wish we wouldn't be deprived that option in WRC, it used to be there but they took it away last year.Quote:

Then on SS4 suddenly the image disappears (in the middle of one of Julian's sentences) for three minutes and then comes back with no acknowledgment or explanation...? And that's not mentioning the endless connection and buffering problems the service had yesterday, which normally never happens to me as I have a very, very fast connection.
When the image suddenly goes to rotating map and you lose the audio as well, that's usually a sign of something "bad" happening. Im not talking about that situation where they just lose signal and it goes to that map all the time - you still have the commentary there. It's their "security" screen (as they are ~20 seconds ahead of the stream) which they use when they don't want to show something. It was used id Monza 2 years ago, when I think Evans crashed and there was some red thing falling down from tree on his windscreen (I think they thought he might have hit a spectator there). Another example is when Kalle crashed his Fabia R5 in Argentina (I think) few years ago and it looked like he might hit some spectators there. I know it happened also this year atleast once, but I dont remember the reason. Though in Safari, it seems that nothing happened - only thing I could think of - hey may have hit some animal, but I dont remember anyone mentioning such thing. And they even showed Kalle driving over some warthogs (atleast it looked like it - maybe they run away) few stages later.
I also got sh*t scared on that break on SS4 when first Kalle was going fast, then we got the rotating map for a while and then when the image returned Neuville was driving slowly (because he had lost power).
The last time they used that security screen was in Portugal when Suninen went off at the start of Fafe, there were spectators in that corner, but luckily no one got hit.
Once again I have inside information from the WRC+ team and I've heard it was not easy to work in Kenya, so we should cut them some slack for a bit of gremlins while most of the action was covered with no problems.
Should they be cut some slack? Because they're having to work in Kenya?
It's literally their companies decision that they're in Kenya.....
I was wondering, how come Jon Desborough has been commentating on the highlights each day for the entire rally? they used to split it between him & Paul King up until a couple of seasons ago.
Be that may, you should be sinbinned for saying that here and not sharing.Quote:

To me it seems that the commentators dont actually see anything more than us. It's the producer(s) who have multiple screens with all the cameras and stuff. But yes, I dont get it either, why they can't switch view to the stopped car...
Except for Julian Porter who has heard (didn't say from who) that Tänak's contract is up at the end of the year.Quote:

That is it, I think. They can't communicate normally with the Producer.Quote:

Sometimes the commentators have a good question they could ask the driver, but they can't seem to communicate with the stage-end interviewer to tell her/him to ask that question. Yeah, WRC+ is weird sometimes. Like they lack proper communication between the various parties involved.
But AnttiL, Kenya is a perfect country populated by perfect people, they repeat that every other sentence and have the drivers confirm it every other sentence as well. Kenya is literally the gold standard of civilization and to suggest it's a ""hard"" environment to work in must be phobic in *some* way or otherQuote:
