[PLuto]

Hi Pluto!
The coverage was great, really! Seeing the Turini in Ogier's front bumper... it was magical! It feels like I was there too (that my camera in RBR Game :P)!
Just one sugestion! Please make two or three in stages fix cameras, not just in the end!
Cheers mate!

With fix cameras in the middle of the stage, it is about technical limitations with transfering datas from the stage (and about money).

Covered here as well: http://www.rallye-info.com/forum.asp...&new=15&page=1

Keep the good ideas coming !

[TheFlyingTuga]

Oh well... the Heli footage it's really cool anyway!

Keep up the good work guys!

I will hope that I can meet you in Madeira!

Cheers

It is great,nothing to add (except to fix those "freezings" at the in-car cameras,if you know what I mean eg.Vouilloz as far as I remember had a clear camera while Ogiers would freeze a lot)

Are you from Eurosport?
How did you get live onboard cameras to work flawlessly on the third day when they had some problems earlier?

When interviewing drivers put them in a smaller split screen.
And also showing split times during the stage - open a small table showing where the driver stands compared to others for a few seconds..
And also some indication which split is it first/second/finish cause there was some confusion about that

[PLuto]

No, I am not from Eurosport. But I am in close contact, maybe Signal from onboard cameras was going still the same way, everything is about weather conditions, trees on the stage etc...

Yes, split times is the way how to improve and we are working on it...

Can't think of too many negatives - most of the improvements will cost money - and at the moment it's perfectly fine,
I suppose in the future - improve the website to provide Live splits, maybe a Rally radio, etc Like WRC.com, but better.

Keep up the good work - it's very much appreciated!!

New web site for IRC will be very soon

About split times, it isnt so easy, because IRC isnt using hyper-mega-expensive Inmarsat technology...
