So ERC+ All Live is confirmed.

I wonder if a TV channel will pick this up like BT Sport did with WRC All Live ?

[AndyRAC]

A mistake; needs free to air streaming...... they'll never learn.

ERC this year has free streaming on some stages and the overall quality is really bad. (guess a lot of that is due to budget)

Better some payment for hopefully a much better product. If it will be like current allive in WRC that indeed is a much better product, even with the "allblack" periods.

I'd also say that paying to watch has become much more common these days with "everyone" paying for at least some streaming service (Netflix+++++).

[Andre Oliveira]

Ideal will be a boundle with WRC and ERC.

[Sulland]

Hopefully we will get a discount if we want both!!
Feeling optimistic !!!

[RS]

What they offering sounds genuinely good. The big question is pricing of course, and how that might interact with WRC All-Live.

One other issue this raises is WRC2.. if ERC is going to be All-Live, unless something changes with WRC2 promotion/coverage then ERC is going to be a superior product for sponsors/manufacturers running Rally2 cars.

[WRCStan]

I don't think I'll pay extra for ERC All Live with copy/paste format. All Live doesn't work for 'dipping in' for me, it either gets my full attention watching racing action or it's not on. Then it also either consumes most of my weekend or it's wasted money. I can watch too much rally. I'll probably stick to ERC highlights packages if they are made.
