Great to see the coverage working again and be able to follow the rally again. Nevertheless, I said I was going to dispute my last payment covering the current month and I did. I will see how it goes and report. Above anything else, I am interested in their reaction and see how much, if at all, they care.

Did I hear correctly that they're actually showing WRC2 in full?! Kudos if so (although squeeze Sarrazin in)

I just watched Meeke's onboards. The quality is terrible. The camera is so far back in the car, and pointed down, so you can only see about 30m ahead on a flat road. Or 10m if he's going uphill.
Also, because the camera is pointed at the dash/console and auto-exposing to make it medium grey, the world outside the car is often far too bright. On the power stage the whole windshield regularly turns pure white, and it's not pointed at snow.
After these years, you'd think they could mount a small camera in a car correctly. I'm just an amateur photographer and I can see everything wrong in seconds, they're supposed to be a professional video crew.

I think it's rather limited where they can place the camera. They can't build additional structure there for the camera. Also the top of the windscreen is covered with ads, so if the camera is high in the car, there is help pointing it higher, except maybe for better lighting adjustment.

It was fine at the end of last year, now most cars where changed again.
Especially in the Fiesta where you could see the steeringwheel it was good last year, now it was too far back"Die with memories, not with dreams" Scott McIsaac

Poor service
I am in Australia and for most of the Monte rally, I could get nothing on WRC+. I managed to get some coverage on the last night but only on a tablet. The app on my Samsung TV didn't work at all for the entire rally.
I kept sending support emails and just got the usual standard response back. Unfortunately this now seems to be the norm when the events are on.
I think my 12 month subscription ends in a month or so and I will not be renewing. I will watch it (not live unfortunately) on Red Bull TV. I've had enough and I think the promoter is letting the sport down badly.

Just last year ~everyone wished to get more onboard camera view from behind the drivers. But I agree that was a bad one, you couldn't see enough of the road. Maybe that angle doesn't work for Toyota.
no. you would need a regroup after every stage to switch drivers.
