Wrc Tour de Corse 2015

this power stage tv coverage was complete joke

why they throwed out Neuville and Kubica and no Ogier also ? What a mess, and yet when Kubica came 2nd they showed poewr stage results without him. :confused:

Congratulations for him if he is!

One of the best, Francois. Always been one of my favourites. Congrats to him on the RGT Cup.

Ogier was there. He was the first car they broadcast. :)

Kubica and Neuville came after the broadcast ended. Desborough said that "they didn't have time to show more than a dozen cars" and also stated that the results shown at the end of the WRC+ feed were provisional and not necessarily final (Kubica finished 2nd after the broadcast had ended).

I do however agree with you that it was a shame that they couldn't feature all WRC drivers. The stage was reasonably "boring" as well considering the different options they had for the power stage, but okay, that's down to the organizers and not the crew at WRC+.

the thing is, that Kubica and Neuville were from morning first cars on the road, and they throwed them from their starting order to the end

That surprised me too but maybe Lappi was driving for the championship points.

Not to mention they throwed also Lefebvre instead of Ogier from the road order

I suppose a one-hour (TV friendly broadcast), long-ish stage, plus a fairly decent entry of cars made it difficult to fit everything in. Very bad TV product though all in all. Rushed, not particularly entertaining. Lack of information from Desborough surrounding the key battle (Evans/Mikkelsen). Not sure how it really sells the sport to new fans tuning in before the football for instance.

Those, who say that Kubica should leave WRC and that Robert is not a WRC material, :
1. Have never driven a car;
2. Whatch only champinship standings instead of real action;
3. Are head of manufacturer team;
4. Are Prokop fans;
5. Have no soul.

Well , if not punctures yesterday he would have finished 2nd here. Seriously I watched onboards, he did not hit anything, the rim just cracked itself

Maybe Ogier's fingerprints are all over that rim...? :p
