Great location for external camera on Sweden SS3, showing some close calls
Definitely ! This is the biggest improvement WRC+ live coverage can make to putting across the real speed and skill of the sport.Quote:

Overall better coverage this rally: more WRC2 and more interesting things between stages. still room for improvement, especially in the commentary team.
I like the picture in picture map, more of that please :) Would be nice to have the split positions on it as well.
Less Rally1 cars -> more WRC2Quote:

Paul King used my blog for his stage description of SS9/12. Especially on SS9 it was almost word for word same. I'm kinda flattered, but I'd like to get a compensation or mention if this becomes a habit...
Not to be mean but he's a bit clueless unless he reads from a prompter when doing the voiceovers. He's a terrible live commentator and always appears unsure what to say. I hope he stops stealing or makes some deal for your work.Quote:

Next step could be in my opinion to have a few camera production of rest of the rally 2 field and all wrc3/juniorwrc. Same type of production like Finnish rally Championship this season but streamed to wrc+ and local streamers like Cmore in Finland. After the Heli and Airplane leaves the stage they should make option for you to choose if you want to watch the rest of the stage before or go to the next stage. I think this would improve wrc+ a lot.Quote:

They also set up temporary network towers and use the 5g to stream every car live.
FIrst time watching the *26min WRC2 coverage highlights from WRC+.... and it was so fun! It reminds me the eurosport ERC highlights, where they would show everything in 26 or 45 min highlights. Way less confusing than three 22min highlights from each day. I know its LESS RALLYING for us, rally fans but it looks IDEAL for casual or non-hardcore rallying fans. For real, PERFECT format. They presented the cars, the brands, they talk to some drivers, then they show the crucial parts of the rally and thats it. PERFECT! They should have those on youtube for free or something like that, IDK. Excellent job. Do that for the top class too! It will help
WRC+ has, and has had for years, whole rally highlights for top class, 51 minutes length.Quote:

So about this rally tv. I had a look and it's like an old style tv channel with a schedule. They run stuff from their library that you can already access on demand. I suppose when there's WRC, ERC or WRX they will show that live. What exactly is the point in making this 24h live channel? it's 2023 there are so many ways to stream content, live or on demand. Who is going to put on a "Rally TV Channel" and watch some random rally review or documentary that they can access on demand anyway?
Just finished the 26min WRC2 highlights from Sweden... Ahhh, brilliant! I think Oliver Solberg is such a character. He is veeery marketable. They can build the story of the rally around him .... i dont know why, but it was really good!
As I said, it reminded me ERC 2020 when he was fighting Lukyanuk. This is so fun to watch! WRC2 makes me feel more "light"... I dont even remember that we cannot stop stressing about WHAT WRC SHOULD DO TO GROW AND REACH MORE FANS.. haha screw that, just give us good stories in WRC2 and its all fine. So cool
Its gonna be sad if the only ones who can watch the the WRC2 Highlights package are RallyTV subscribers ie. hardcore fans. These drivers are the guys who need the extra coverage available to all to attract sponsors.
I guess the Rally TV is good if you want something running in the background at a museum or a shop, but not really that useful
I wouldn't be surprised, if they'll be trying to sell the channel to operators around the world. Then the thing would make sense.Quote:

Mike Chen commentating, big thumbs up!
Commentating was crap last night.
“Oh he looks really slow, loads of understeer he’s just losing loads of time…… oh he’s just gone fastest” :rolleyes:
Where is Julian Porter ?
What is this beeping noise on the Hyundai, extra hybrid fan?
Don’t know but it’s annoying as hell.Quote:

Colin Clark now back doing stage ends as well......
There's a few odd things going on this weekendQuote:

Anyone know why?
Also the smaller pic never gets rid of headline and bottom settings.
Restart ipad, check that you are on the right wifi network, if you have more than one.
In this rally the RC2 gamg get a huge amount of airtime, their sponsors must be happy!
Tack! Det funkade. Thanks! Worked out well!Quote:

Maybe been asked before, but is it possible to save videos from WRC+?
