I agree. Which is why I'm on a one man mission to curate some of the best content I can find. I've created a YouTube channel to gather some footage together, however amateur so that we can at least watch something fairly easily.

#Sideways TV.

If you subscribe then you'll be notified when a new playlist gets added or the videos are updated. I'll add a new playlist for each day of the rally to keep things simple and I'll update each one as I find new footage.

Plus there is the news feed from day one here.

Its a shame there's no coverage in the UK it would be good if Redbull setup a dedicated channel for the people in the UK to watch it on. Hopefully with a high number of hits they could show that Rallying is still popular in the UK when trying to sell it to a free to view channel.

Those video's are from wrc.com and the official WRC YouTube channel. ;)

To be fair I was expecting a better tv coverage. No live stages, the tv shows are just about the same, only with fewer technologies like simulcam... I'm not sure if it got worse but it didn't got any better.

Have some patience. Wait a few rallies because usually TV productions gets quality-wise better (only exception is when funding is decreased).

Let's make judgements about better or worse at the end of the season, because then we have seen all what they planned to offer us.

If they just match what the IRC (Eurosport) has been doing for the last few years it will be a start ...

Quite right! The first impressions are a bit disappointing though.
