If you would put, e.g. Rally Finland 2011 coverage and no matter what IRC 2011 round coverage side by side, no one would say that. IRC reviews are weaker than WRC ones. (And please don't ask me to make a analysis for you because it will change how you watch rally reviews. I'm pretty sure you don't want that.)Quote:

If a production company would do what the die hard fans want, then they will kill the sport because only the small number of fanatics will watch it. Television has one really simple principle when it comes to producing things - keep it simple and stupid.
I'm really skeptical about Eurosport producing WRC footage. I hope that they will prove me wrong.
Totally agree.Quote:

It remains to be seen what Eurosport will offer in terms of live footage in the future but if they can do more extensive live stuff like Monte has been for the last two years, and perhaps even sell it to other broadcasters too then I think it would make the sport hugely more attractive to fans, and therefore manufacturers and sponsors too.
I agree that the Paul King "live action" voice overs weren't the best but in the end they weren't so bad as they were in the beginning.Quote:

You can't substitute quality with quantity.
North One Sport may have been ****ty salesmen but at least what they produced had more quality than Eurosport's IRC.
But as I said earlier, I hope they prove me wrong. (I'm just very critical about television and even more critical when it has to do with my favourite sport)

well no need to go elsewhere...they could create their own organizing and legislation committee and organise ONLY rally events and the like (Hillclimbs, Rallycross ects) and then fat dwarfs like jean-todt would only have to care about the ladyboys they call drivers in F1 and their fat paychecks along with the overweight fans sitting on the stands with stupid red/yelow caps and flags.Quote:
