Great to have @MotorsTV covering WRC again this year. And delighted to let you know commentary will be provided by myself and @Becsywecsy
And as a bonus Motors Tv might be going HD at last!
BT Sport to broadcast live coverage of the FIA World Rally Championship + full TV choices:
The pay-TV sports channel’s coverage revs into gear with the opening event of the 2014 season next weekend, the famous Rallye Monte Carlo, running from January 14-19.
In total, BT Sport will screen 26 stages across the 13 rallies that make up the 2014 calendar, bringing regular live rallying back to UK screens for the first time since ESPN covered the ‘Power Stages’ during the 2011 WRC season.
BT Sport’s WRC coverage begins a mid-week season preview on January 15 followed by nightly coverage of the Monte Carlo Rally itself over the weekend of January 17-19.
There will be live coverage of both runs over the 10-mile Sospel-Breil sur Roya stage next Saturday afternoon and evening on BT Sport, the second run of which will be a ‘Power Stage’, which rewards its top three finishers with bonus championship points.
Coverage of all other 12 rallies will include a preview and a review show for each rally and a daily highlights show, which will all run across BT Sport’s three channels – BT Sport 1 and 2, and ESPN.
BT Sport viewers will now be able to follow the fortunes of top British drivers Elfyn Evans and Kris Meeke, as well as international stars Sebastien Ogier – the defending world champion – Mikko Hirvonen, Thierry Neuville and Jari-Matti Latvala.
Northern Irishman Meeke will drive for Citroen in 2014 and this will be the first time that British driver has been part of a main factory team since the days when Richard Burns and Colin McRae brought the sport to the British public’s attention in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Ogier and his Volkswagen team begin the defence of their title in Monte Carlo and you can follow all the action throughout the season on BT Sport. BT Sport’s live WRC TV deal does not affect the championship’s arrangement for free-to-air coverage with ITV Sport, who brought the WRC back to mainstream UK television last season.
ITV4 will continue to screen one-hour highlights of each WRC event on Tuesday evenings following each rally.
In addition, dedicated motorsports channel Motors TV has announced that daily highlights of each WRC event will return to its screens in 2014, meaning rally fans now have a choice of following the championship via three different UK networks.
All these are good!
But I hope the official feed as produced by Red Bull to be improved at last to make it more exciting and worth watching.
World Rally Championship promised record live TV coverage in 2014 ... http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/111511
Lets see... :rolleyes:
Powerstage from MC will be live on Viasat Sport in Norway. Live broadcast from Sweden was too expensive since Norway is considered to a the "home" country.

Is there an Android app with live WRC timing?
Third TV-deal in a row for WRC Promoter in Italy! After FOX Sports and RAI Sport, an agreement was reached with Dinamica Channel, a motors-oriented free-to-air channel!
