    Where can I find the highest quality WRC onboards from recent years?

    Hello,

    I'm about to start work on a university project which will use machine learning and object detection to track the road and spectators from WRC onboard footage. The end goal is to track vicinity / elevation / position of spectators against the road in order to gauge if there are any dangerous spectator positions on a stage.

    I'm searching for the highest quality onboard footage available from all rallies from the past ~ 5 years, and I'm not sure about which source would be the best. I've heard some complain about the broadcast quality on WRC+, so I'm not sure what their archived footage would be like. Red bull TV, YouTube are the other sources I'm aware of at the moment.

    If anyone has any further suggestions I'd really appreciate it! Thanks

    WRC+ onboard footage are top quality, and they have a huge archive, but you cannot download them.

    try emailing wrc+ with the project description and with a letter from university, they should be interested!

    I would imagine for a University it would need to be a legit source.
    If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

    Beast source? Ask directly the teams, they usually have their own onboard videos and sometimes in very good quality. You can try also WRC promoter, but difficult to guess if they will be interested or not.
