Can I Race It?: Statement by North One Television over the WRC rights issue
A story has always more than one side.
Definitely interesting developments, it will be interesting to see what will happen over the next few weeks between the FIA, Eurosport and North One.
Can't see NOS being involved in anything. Contract has been terminated by Paris. All employees made redundant.
More important than guessing if Eurosport Events will do better than NOS, it's time to see the FIA take some ambitious measures about the WRC future.
WRC will never be the F1, so it's better to reconigze that the promotional issues should be separated from the technical and sport regulations.
Having an external promoter deciding what events and cars should be run in WRC it's wrong and won't benefit the series.
Those subjects are competence of the FIA and should be based in a permanent feedback with WRC players: manufactureurs, teams, organizers, drivers, etc.
Only promotional stuff like media coverage, series sponsoring and merchandise should be delegated to an external entity, by a fair and reasonable commercial rights agreement.
PS: everybody is remarking the good job of EE on the IRC, but hasn't the series been in a visible decline due to permanent calendar changes, motivated by the promoter economical interests?
Just look at MAds Ostbergīs incar camera from testing today. Thatīs the way incar coverage should be. And Live. And in everycar. Chooseable for everyone. Wishful thinking? MAybe!
But Mads found the perfect angle (120 degrees camera shutter)
Sure that it's a 120 degree angle, not a 170 one?Quote:

Sorry 120 was my guess. Looking at it twice itīs more likely 170-180 degrees.Quote:
