Decent show for Day 2 - bit of a long intro but then good in-car action and nice helicopter shots ... :)

It is without doubt that without Middle Eastern money, the WRC would be in a much poorer spot with Abu Dhabi supporting Citroen and Qatar sponsoring M-Sport.
Has anyone else noticed that there is no coverage listed for the Middle East? Just Sub-Saharan Africa and South African channels listed.

the footage is probably decent, but whoever uploaded the clip to youtube had converted it to around 100kbps :dozey:Quote:

Desperately disappointing to hear Paul King back in the commentary box and still doing the "live" commentary over recorded footage, it really is truly pitiful to listen to.
I think Australia's "Speed HD TV"Quote:

What guarantee is there that if King were doing the live commentary, he would have seen Sordo's spin that allowed Novikov to catch him up?Quote:
