It should be noted that this live from 1998 was on pay-tv Canal+ as well.

I'm sure there were people complaining about that fact back then too...
Well, that all depends on where you live. There are many countries where the WRC is not available on TV at all, whether free to air or otherwise. I'm not familiar with the "other online access for free" you are referring to. As such, I, for one, am stuck with WRC+; my gripe isn't that I have to pay for it, it's that it's shite. Hardly any live stages, very poor in-car camera angles, and normally only coverage of the first few cars for any live stages; the additional content, such as preview shows, is just filler shite, as are the commentators. The very name of the product suggests that it is premium content, and it just isn't. Lastly, I don't care whether coverage is on free-to-air or pay-tv. I just want decent coverage and preferably not with commentators whose only knowledge of the sport seems to come from having played SEGA Rally 20 years ago.
