The point is that they need to make the WRC popular to the average Joe on TV. In Italy, for example, they're getting 100k viewers on subscription-based Sky Sports, but they have to get at least 1 million viewers to have the sponsors interested in putting some good money on the sport. So go on free-to-air RAI Sport, which got 500k viewers when the WRC was shown live. Selling highlights to be shown at 11pm won't make the sport popular and the whole won't get any benefit on the long term.
What I wanna say is that, being a big company, I won't be interested in putting 30 million euros to be a title sponsor in a WRC team if I know that my brand will be seen by "few" people on a satellite channel. And this is the case for many key countries.

point is: they don't have enough money to do a high level general public tv show. that's it.

I have yet to cancel the WRC+ subscription yet 5 minutes ago I received this e-mail: "We're sorry to say goodbye
As you requested, we've cancelled your RallyTV Subscription. This change will be effective on 2023-Jan-1 14:00:10 UTC.
Thanks for being part of the world’s toughest motorsport!
If you change your mind and you would like to continue enjoying all WRC, ERC and World RX content, you can always re-activate your RallyTV subscription by clicking on the button below, choose your new plan and log-in or sign up."
I did intend to cancel the subscription I just find it odd that it's been done without my request, has anyone else experienced this?Only you know your true potential.
This year we rally #ForCraig

It's due to their transition to "Rally TV". You probably have some email about migrating your account in your spam folder or maybe they just screwed up. I was asked to migrate even though "Rally TV" is still some time away. I suspect there is an incompetent mouth-breathing middle manager involved. In 2022 this is pathetic, i am embarrassed for them even if i had nothing to do with it.

I suspect they can't legally automatically transfer you from one product to another without an opt-in.
There are laws you know. Not everything is down to stupidity....

Are there laws and they needed to jump through hoops? 100%
Are there incompetent middle managers involved in WRC+? 1000%
A question that’s been on my mind since both Neuville & Tänak are drawing near the end of their careers (Evans I think is a little younger than both), who do you think will be the championship...
