If 90% or more of the images are only onboard what kind of exposure you have?
The lives from Eurosport are not bad but they need to improve more. More cameras on the ground, not only at the start or in the end of the stages.

Yeah no one is really saying that coverage was any good. The second run in the dark they may as well not have bothered really.Quote:

Well, there were a few basic things wrong, but definitely, it was good to follow lie picture :-).
1. Stage they showed was not the best TV stage. a lot of forest around and therefore hard to use outside camera or helicam.
2. Two few cars were carrying onboard cameras an during the second pass half of the cars with the cam had retired already.
3. Operator work was not the best. Many important moments were not shown. They could have done replays when they didn't had nothing else to show. They were too much stuck in one car during the onboard session. It would be more interesting to see the most difficult places by different cars and drivers.
But the oprator work during the second pas was already bit better :-)
It isnt so easy. It is question of technologies... The system, which are they using, isnt prepared for it. They can "receive" only two signals in one time. So when somebody crash in time, when they are not receiving his signal, they cannot show it. Only later, when they download it directly from the camera.Quote:

I agree we could do with a few more stage side cameras but the heli stuff is good because you can see the way the car moves on the stage (and the sponsor names)
Jakke Honkanen, used to read pacenotes to Garde for example. I've heard him commentating some other forms of motorsport too on Finnish Eurosport.Quote:

Gutted for Gould !!! Water pump again :mad: ;(
Water pump in Peugeot 207 is electric powered not supplied by a belt and there have been a lot of problems with this solution.
Ahh, they are trying to take some load off the engine, no good if it fails though!Quote:

This is a much better stage. Long open sections but looks tricky in places. Cant wait to see the big boys through.
Good for tv and the drivers.
I see Martin Kangur is off the road in the Civic and looks out. Pity.
Times messed up. Carlton Kirby is trying to make out David Bogie won the stage.
Meeke by 8.1.
Really nice stage and scenery, Kris said it's the best stage he ever drove!
Looks like Meeke has it in the bag now, but Guy is doing a good job on his first event with the Fabia.
SS13 - Live on Eurosport.
Martin Kangur - Honda Civic R3 crashed on SS10. The crew are OK. :(
Beautiful stage, both the nature they drive through, and the road they drove on. Meeks comment (Even if he is local) about the best stage he has done in the world, Finland included - is not far off !
Kangur's car didn't look very damaged from helicopter wiev, just stucked off road.
I liked the live coverage, only few problems with onboards in the first section and wrong time of Bogie messed it a bit. Anyway beautiful stage!
I agree.Quote:

I believe you, but it isnt so easy to do it. More cameras on stage means much, much more money... I have been on Monte and Ypres at TV crew, I know the technology how they are sending datas. It isnt so easy like in circuits, where they have everything near and can connect it by cable...Quote:
