Can I Race It?: Statement by North One Television over the WRC rights issue

Well if they had any chance left they don't now. Quite unprofessional press statement.

I guess it is too late for live coverage of Monte to be arranged.

The deal with Qatar has reportedly collapsed:

Eurosport set to become World Rally Championship promoter as North One's Qatar deal falls through - WRC news - AUTOSPORT.com

Eurosport is expected to pick up the WRC, with NOS to close on Monday.

In last 11 years they destroyed WRC.

I hope the guys who've lost their jobs at NOS get something from Eurosport! On Monday, their office (NOS) is closed :(

It would be interesting to see their achievements over that period, and were the WRC stands now, in comparison to when they took over. Remember, DR bought ISC off Bernie, and since then, they've filmed the coverage. Didn't DR say the WRC would grow and become successful?

It's already planned the Power Stage and also SS13 LIVE (on MTV3)!

I guess those live-stages were listed on MTV3´s site weeks ago. Just wondering how valid that TV schedule is, since we didn´t knew who will do Monte´s TV coverage until last night..

Nevermind the live-stages, if such things as timing the stages is also a question mark:

A further update on iRally has stated that Stage One Technology, which is contracted to North One Sport to provide timing services and safety tracking for the WRC, is seeking clarity on the situation. They are/were scheduled to depart to Monte Carlo on Monday.

What a pissing-in-the-pants-hilarious mess this whole deal is. Good going.
