Rally coverage was really amazing back then, with Nicky Grist's commentating on short sections of stages and really expert commentating. I remember from Catalunya 2004 Lisa O'Sullivan (was it her already back then?) commenting Martin's and Duval's huge mistakes on the same stage - she pointed out what Park and Prevot respectively will say about not cutting incoming corners, and then the drivers bluntly cutting them. Cost Martin a puncture and Duval some very serious suspension damage, they clearly didn't listen at all I feel like you don't get these specifics nowadays on the event highlights - although with WRC+ I don't watch them as much, because come Sunday I've already seen everything

Those years are on YT, I'll go check them out tonight
