It looks very promising. It's a shame that it isn't available in France and in UK (WRC's two biggest fanbases...).

Apparently you can work around the restriction by using Hola unblocker extension on Chrome. Best solution though is to have access to a secure/fast VPN in a foreign country (i.e. Germany). I'll probably set one up if anyone's interested.

And if you select another country? He continues assuming the localization?

He assumes localization based on the client IP address, and you get a message telling you it isn't available. You can't go any further. With Hola unblocker it works (and you select whatever country you want on the registration page) but onboards do not work.
I am setting up a VPN server, hopefully all the features will work then.

Works like a charm with a German VPN, and the service is truly great. I did not expect such thorough features, the onboard "app" is a treat!
I'm eager to see the "live" part, hopefully we'll see what it is about tomorrow.

What VPN server are you using?
Is it Private/free/paid?

I signed up for a VPS at host1plus ($3 USD per month) and installed openvpn on it. Do you want an access?

Yes I have joined and know at least a dozen others who have joined. I have already watched Rally Finland preview show in HD several hours before it screened on TV in New Zealand, I have also watched one of the live TV stages from Poland which I had not seen before. Very impressed so far. Really looking forward to choosing which drivers I want to ride on board with.

IMHO this is an absolutely huge positive step forward for WRC and puts us into a new level and era of following the sport we love. I can understand the frustration of those who cannot currently access this service, it will be how I felt when power stages and some other stages were being televised live in many countries but not my own country. I still cannot get live televised stages.

I needed to remind myself it was part of the sports media coverage growing globally. Eventually the growth in services will benefit all fans including those currently feeling aggrieved. The future of digital media coverage is arriving, I look forward to embracing it and seeing how it develops over time.
