    The issue is more what's lacking from the core team and that's a permanent presence of someone with world class experience. Anytime they have that it really elevates the comentating team.
    Yeah, Seb Marshall is the closest to that from the current team (although not on every event)

    From their POV yes, but not from Producer/Promoter POV. It's odd that a commentator could say something like 'this excellent championship battle will go on to the next round", but they won't be there because whatever at Nurburg is more fun or pays better or whatever.

    Not saying it's bad, just not what I'd expect.

    Wrc+

    I think this will be my final year with wrc+. Like some of the guys say here, they have gotten even worse IMO, you should improve with years, not go backwards or stand still

    And I don’t mean just the picture broadcasting but the whole package. Can’t stand Kiri at all with her big mouth doing gestures, nobody of them doesn’t even know the basics of rallying apart from Julien. I have said it previously and say again, the whole crew needs a replacement. I would only leave Becs for voice overs and media interviews.

    The robotic answers from them if you have a problem with wrc+. The most common one being “did you clear your cache?”

    We have had most of the stages on TV3 Sport channels in Estonia since 2021, they only skip like 3-5 stages per rally and those missing stages I have watched from wrc+ and god it’s horrible. Nowadays I’m basically just using it for maps and split.

    WRC "allive" had slowly but surely changed from "alllive" to "TV broadcast delivery service".

    When it started (especially on that first Monte) you could see everything happening and it felt like really being at the rally (or maybe even better cause you could follow all liasons etc.) At some point they also had live camera in service park when nothing else was happening.

    Now everything is cut to necessary minimum. When there is a problem in stage they basically just turn it off and put on a map or worse (car pictures). The trend of turning off stages or not showing any Rally2 cause they "do not fit schedule" has also gotten worse.

    I'm also quite on the verge of not continuing with wrc+. Woke up around 4am and then watched re-live from morning stages and both stages 2 & 4 were basically unwatchable.

    I think we should all unsubscribe from WRC- next year, maybe if enough people do it they'll at least realize they're doing something wrong, maybe (although I'm doubtful at this point) they'll even replace at least some of their commentators.
    Only you know your true potential.

    Yeah, in Estonia TV3 is at least somekind of an option and if I add sports package for about 5€ I will get TV3 Sport and all the sport subchannels so it makes me really weigh in on my options for 2023.

    If I had your option, I’d easily add those €5, it’s even cheaper than what you get monthly for WRC-, and you get an entire sports package.

    How do you figure unsubscribing would eventually make the product stronger? It'd kill it.

    Double-checked the offers and they have cut TV + Sport package for 10 € and have now TV + Movies + Sports for 15€. Them bastards I say.... Hehe
