2016 BRC (British Rally Championship)

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Really disappointed with the Ch4 show in terms of the BRC1 class coverage.

Why do we get excited by the number and variety of R5 cars in the series when we only get to see less than half of them...

They had 26 minutes and it was the first rally of the year, so they had to introduce people to the championship. How much more can they cover?

At 7.30am I doubt anyone was watching that needed the Ch'ship (or drivers) introducing to them..

This tv coverage is for existing fans only .. it needs showing at a more popular timeslot to catch the casual viewer.

That's likely, but it's not a certainty and they can't present on that basis. Even putting that to one side though they still don't have a lot of time to show much more than a round up on the top 5 and a bit of coverage from the Juniors. I thought it was quite rounded coverage, good selection of onboards, nice camera locations in the stages and a limited number of interviews with drivers. It's always easy to say what more stuff they should add in, but the real question is what would you have omitted in order to make time for more BRC1 footage.

And there's no chance of that happening - not when they can put up repeats of 'Come Dine with Me' and get a much larger audience.

Just watched the BTSport '1 hour' version... but more filler and adverts so really not a lot better.

A few more R5's shown which was great but they could do better with the time available.

And the way that Jon Desborough talks over all the car noise and even the onboards is so annoying.

I don't get why the BRC have so far made nothing of their You Tube channel... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzM...Pb2VJTaicvdAVQ Why are there no onboards on there at least? Even the dying old dog that was the old BRC put highlights up on their YT channel.

They may well have given up the right to broadcast their own championship though in whatever deal they've done with BT and C4. Very short sighted if so.

Or hopefully - they will put content up after its shown on TV.

Does he using "Max & Elfyn, son of Ari & Gwyndaf" cliche..?

Because that's his era... he knows nothing about the modern drivers.

He does the same on the WRC programmes, repeating the same few bits of info he knows on every rally.
