    Brilliant, after they seemed to have fixed the stream, I decided to activate the monthly sub so I could watch through the weekend, the website happily took my card info, but got stuck in infinite loading afterwards, so now the payment is reflected on my bank account, but WRC is still telling me I have no active subscription.

    I sent an email and I hope they can sort it out quickly from their side, otherwise I would be rather pissed.

    The BT Sport/ESPN HD channel is showing full live coverage of today's stages. Probably as its one of the few sports events still taking place.

    DEAR RALLY FANS,
    Three years ago, the WRC Promoter had an ambitious plan – to give you live coverage of every stage of every rally, something that had never been attempted before. WRC+ All Live was born out of our passion for rally and became reality thanks to your devoted support. Without it, this project would have never happened.

    That is not to say, that like all good relationships, this project has been plain sailing and not without problems along the way, particularly at the beginning of this season as we transit to an all-new platform. We have been devoted to fixing these issues and are confident they are now resolved.

    Furthermore, we want to play our part to HELP FIGHT CORONAVIRUS, by providing you with plenty of reasons to remain at home! In the coming weeks, we will be:

    Digging deep into our archives to provide you with exclusive highlights from some of the BEST MOMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF WRC.

    Creating a number of SPECIAL FEATURES exclusively for you, the WRC+ subscribers.


    We intend to keep you informed and up-to-date throughout this difficult time, as we look forward to being back to bringing you live WRC action as soon as possible.

    Best regards,
    Your WRC Team

    It would be interesting to know what the WRC archive actually consists of? This may be rubbish, but I seem to recall from somewhere that at least some archive footage was disposed of during the North One era, to cut down on storage costs. IIRC this is why so many of the daily and event highlights shows from around 2001 onward got uploaded to the official WRC You Tube channel, to get them out there. (Well worth looking up if you aren't aware of them, in these times of isolation: https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...ighlights+2001 for example)

    They could have purchased the WRC stuff in the Duke Video archive in 2018, but that seemingly all went to Motorsport Network. Part of me wonders whether they've only got the 'Best Moments' and various other 1 hour compilation shows, most of which I believe were made in the North One era, plus all the stuff from the 'WRC Promoter'/Red Bull era.

    It wouldn't surprise me if FOM still hold the footage from 1996 to 2000 in their archive in Biggin Hill.

    As the non racing period gets longer and longer, I'm starting to wonder how the WRC+ service will compensate the long term subscribers as their main product All Live is not live at all.

    Can anybody recall if it's been said, or knows, how much it costs them to produce the All Live coverage for each rally? I have a feeling that Julian Porter said a number live on air once.

    I'm particularly interested to know how much a it'd cost to cover a shorter two day event, by comparison. I can't imagine that can be answered though.

    There are fixed expenses (shipping the equipment including the helicopter and transmitter aeroplane onto the location) and time-related expenses (the hours the transmitter aeroplane is airborne and the days the personnel must stay at the hotel). I don't think reducing one day makes much difference.
