    Had picked up on ( as others have throughout the season) that Tanak is getting moodier in a sarky way. Didn't realise it was just with Molly though, or if that's wide of the mark.

    Maybe just a result of being up at the front regularly and having more at stake, which can = more frustration at times and a lot more tension. Or maybe it is a genuine problem he has with her.

    WRC2


    All three main categories were separated by under 10 seconds at the end of this rally and they were changing throughout.

    Not to mention, it's hard enough for young drivers to get backing and sponsors these days, at least let them have some screen time. Solans v Franceschi in R2 not mentioned once and hardly any mention today of the other Solans' efforts to topple the Skodas.

    Get these guys some screen time if you want to enhance the value of your championship to them, to the manufacturers involved and to your audience; take a look at how it's done in endurance racing.
    Solans and Franceschi were not registered to WRC3. Who is not registered, doesnt exist for promoter so no sense to any promotion for them (to say the truth, also lot of registered drivers almost doesnt exist for promoter).

    All in all, crews in supporting championships in WRC are "second league" in terms of interest and media coverage.

    Except for Rovanperä in Monte Carlo and Henning Solberg in Turkey. They made the TV broadcasts, probably for the lack of competitive cars to show and their popularity value.

    I've listened to Julian Porter for years from the ERC rally radio. But he is getting a bit OTT on All Live trying to call every possible incident. Like a being sure its a puncture just from seeing a bit of understeer. He needs to chill out.

    At Loeb's power stage he totally fucked up lol
    But I must admit that it seemed to me too that he had some kind of puncture or similar.

    As written here before, one of the biggest issues with WRC+ crew (as with the whole motorsport media industry) is that they are mainly British. In itself it is not bad (uncounting exceptions like Colin Clark being too British), but like WRC+ crew they most of the time give comments either with deliberate or unintentional tone of voice and act the way that hypes and favours Meeke, Evans, Breen, Greensmith, etc and disfavours the non-English drivers. This is very annoying. Since Esperanto was not success, I assume English will dominate media also the next decades before Chinese, but yet Motorsport media should re-teach themselves to behave more objective towards drivers from different nationalities (and also remember that not everyone in the sport is fluent in English). This continuous favouring of English drivers is quite big issue, since effecting strongly to media, results will be seen in all media monitoring e.g. in companies that sponsor drivers and this favours then drivers only from UK, eventually reducing the chances from others and not giving them what they would deserve. The more WRC drivers we would have from multiple countries / continents the better it would be for the future of the WRC.

    What English drivers?? Meeke is from Ulster, Evans is Welsh, Breen is from Eire......

    Whether you like it or not, English is the universal language; I think people are over reacting to supposed pro-British comments. A lot of motorsport series have UK commentators/ analysts, and I don't think there is much favouritism, in some cases, it's quite the opposite.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    How many times they have mentioned Meeke returning with Toyota next year, while other drivers were on the stages... It was getting a bit ridiculous...

    WRC+ struggled to interview Ogier & Loeb at the media zones and there were other tv crews all over the service park in Spain. There is clearly good coverage from other non-English language sources.
