For existing rally fans this seems a good thing, as at least the full 'live stage' coverage will be top quality. And its extra 'free' rallying for WRC+ subscribers.
Eurosport have done ok with their live YT/FB shows but it was far from the WRC+ quality.
The only drawback is for those that don't or can't pay, and also the reduction in new fans that the free coverage may have brought in.

I did not like that the cars in most classes must use tyres from a FIA appointed brand.
It takes away the option of a crew to get tyres sponsed from a company. Tyres has become a big part of costs for a privateer.
Here in Norway 1 winter rally tyre now cost 5000 NOK, aprox 500 euro, so 2000 euro foa a set of Pirellis or Michelins.
I am not sure how a deal like this works, do cometitors in WRC and ERC get better prices, or does a sponsordeal like this only mean money for FIA?

Familiar face takes ERC manager role
With the departure of Eurosport Events as ERC’s series promoter, long-time championship co-ordinator Jean-Baptiste Ley also exited stage left, necessitating a new captain to steer the ship.
The WMSC bulletin confirmed that Iain Campbell will take the reins, a man with decades of rallying experience.

In addition to his stints as manager of the British Rally Championship and as Rally GB’s clerk of the course, he’s also officiated several WRC rounds as chair of the stewards.
“We’re not planning huge changes for 2022 but I’ll be keeping a keen eye on ideas for the future as the season progresses,” said Campbell of his new appointment. “It’s great to take up this role at the start of WRC Promoter’s ERC tenure and I can’t wait to get started.”
Campbell will take up his new role in January.
