Yes, currently streaming on WRC facebook page.

I thinks its the most impressive WRC2 startlist I have ever seen.. It's gonna be awesome fight between all the guys!

but why stop transmitting after first round, not taking a chat with all the WRC2 bunch?

No shakedown for me this year but will be there Friday and Saturday. Hope everyone who is attending has a great event and that it's good for those of you watching at home.

This forum isn't just great for following the sport as a whole all year round, but also great when planning to attend an rally. Whether it's advice on where to watch, where to stay or general questions, there always seems to be someone to help out/answer. Had good info passed onto me by T16 this year and the Sniper in the past, and AntiiL is always the go-to man for stage knowledge, so I feel well set.

My plan as it stands is Elsi 1, Aberhirnant 1, Elsi 2/Pen 2, Aberhirnant 2. Then on saturday stay at Hafren for both runs, before heading home.

Think Tanak will win this and get one hand on the title, if the Toyota holds up.

Have a great event pal.

Everyone always asks the same question.

Only the WRC and WRC2Pro cars have a timed startlist. After that you can go to the queue and there could even be a gap if all the cars go back to service for set up changes. Doing the transmission costs money so they can't do a three-hour broadcast. Also, I believe it's intentional to show more WRC2Pro and less WRC2 in order to get more teams involved in the series.

That's what they pay €150000 for.

Only Skoda has had to pay the 150k, because they're not a P1 manufacturer.

This time the question was legitimate.

Obviously you didn´t watch this morning. You should have seen that the broadcast was interrupted after Kopecky and nothing from Solbergs first run. Only interwiev with Paddon at SD finish...

You think that is promotion of rallying?
