Aren’t you being a bit too harsh on Ogier? If an accident happened in that tractor chicane for sure everyone would be now saying that it was an avoidable and stupid risk.

Al Rajhi crash gone to WRC-TV :)
Whoever came up with the idea to basically troll rally fans by uploading a minute of Meeke's run through Ouninpohja is a useless dog, as NOT would say. They've never done that before, but decide to do it with a drive that so many people would love to watch. These moronic berks in charge are what holds this sport back. As someone previously mentioned, a full video of that stage could have gone viral. We've already seen WRC drivers and Valentino Rossi comment on that incredible fan video, and this would have similar impact.
Ogier's run through Ouninpohja back in 2013 was uploaded on the YouTube channel and got just under 300k views - Meeke's would get much more imo. This should be used to promote the sport and attract new viewers to the WRC youtube channel etc, but instead they're just desperate for a few extra subscribers to WRC+. Small time thinking or what!
I have WRC+ so at least I can still watch it and all the other fantastic onboards, but have to watch with picture quality that's barely even standard definition. Sadly for those who don't have WRC+, they won't get to see that incredible drive even in low picture quality. The idiocy is beyond me

It's not that difficult making things go viral these days, just hard work over time to build some contacts and a bit of luck is all it takes.
WRC got lots of people for that job so if one guy can do it, they can.
Got my video up on Rossi's FB page as well as Twitter, just a shame Youtube video's are "blocked" quite a lot these days on FB.
Up to 90.000 views already and last years video up to 930.000 views now, guess getting that insane spot in Ouninpohja helped ;)
Good to see that they are trying harder with the onboard though, enjoyable watching Breen's FX camera i think it was, just should have been a few cm lower.
I agree with AL14 - you should give yourself some more credit. Ultimately it comes down to the content - and it has to be good (which yours is). In this day and age you can simply just pay to ensure your videos/posts have a huge reach. But when you see something like your videos generate all this through organic growth, just through fans and word of mouth, then you have to take notice. It is a very interesting case study I think and the WRC should be looking at videos like this. What do they have that their coverage doesn't. There is really no excuse because they reccy the stages too.
What is crazy to think is that if you got just a few of the people on this forum together and combined resources - you could create a product that blows the WRC offering into the weeds.
