I can see that Ogier was the only one to drive 07 Citroën (different bumper for example).

Mosley said that ISC is going to bring WRC onto internet. I hope so.
Daniel, the bile you spew is somewhat odious.Quote:

Say what you like about Colin, maybe he's not everyones taste, but you can't deny his passion.
But what really makes me mad is your unjustifiable and unpleasant attack on Becs. Anyone who has the tinniest clue about broadcasting recognizes that she is one of the finest female radio broadcasters in the UK. We are lucky to have her.
Please just go off and listen to the fine radio coverage of your beloved IRC, and leave the rest of us to enjoy the quality of WRR
I don't care about whether someone is a woman or a man. If they can't do the job then poo to them. I've met Becs and she's a nice person but I just don't think the coverage they give is great. She is truly crap when compared to someone like Suzi Perry who is for me the finest female sports broadcaster I can think of. Colin might be passionate but so are a lot of other annoying people. That man could get excited over the thought of a slice of processed cheese, this sort of artificial excitement isn't what we need in the WRC. The IRC on the Monte didn't need someone needlessly raising their voice everytime anything happened to be exciting.Quote:

I totally agree with you, and I like a lot both Colin and Becs, I think they do a great job :up:Quote:

And anyone who knows or who has met colin understands that he is a true fan and his enthusiasm is as far removed from artificial as you can get.
Have to disagree with you there, although I have never heard the World Rally Radio person you've been referring to. In my book Suzi Perry is not a patch on Clare Balding or Hazel Irvine, both of whom I think are well up to Rider standards.Quote:

Since they have - or had - the same ISC tracking equipment that teams have, maybe they could pass the info on to audience.
And Haribos... whenever they don't have anything new to say, someone to interview or anything rally related at all, would it not be better to go through the results and next stage start times and whatever over and over again instead of - well, Haribos.
I think that, overall, WRR is a very good concept. It's got huge potential. I am just not thrilled the way it's executed at the moment.
Praps they should hand Loeb and Citroen the drivers and makes titles now.. :pQuote:
