Also the onboard footage was often shaky and the static cameras were placed in quite boring places (I watched only leg 2). It didn't impress me at all.

So, what is the point in having a series promoter if they don't want to do their job? Because as far as I'm concerned, that is what Eurosport, the promoter should be doing, not the event organiser.
Why did they even bid for the ERC if they only do the bare minimum? I just find it so disappointing.

Yep, the coverage this weekend was disappointing.

Go and check out the WRC2 videos on the official WRC Youtube channel for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/user/wrc/videos

Exactly. Just looking at the top 10 - 5 Skodas, 3 Fords, 1 Peugeot and 1 Citroen.
Lefebvre, Bouffier, Botka - all out of the rally due to technical problems. The reliabilty hasn't improved at all...

Congratulations to Fast Freddy for winning the rally!

It's about what I saw on the stages, don't Care about the times..

And congratulations to Lefebvre for winning Colin McRae Flat Out Trophy (but he deserved much more).

This time I can judge only from videos but for example from this one I agree with You: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgZ2TOkNrkM

I think you can see this place in this video at 1:32 :

The best thing about the ES coverage was at least the commentator shut up during the onboards. Much better to hear the cars. I quite liked the bumper-cam as well for the sense of speed.

Fan videos are really where we get the best images these days.
