A well edited summary at the end of each leg that tells the story of who gained/lost time where, when and why appeals much more to me.
The old BBC reports on the Lombard RAC Rally are hard to beat. A good mix of in-car and external shots with crew interviews where there was time to ask sensible questions and wait for sensible answers really told the story as it was developing. The current obsession of everything needing to be live just doesn't work for me.
Of course the way it was done in the old days always seems better, but that's because it was !

But seriously, going back to just watching end of day summaries when you know everything is reported/shown live, takes some real determination nowadays.

And remember when they showed a live tv stage from the RAC Rally how amazing it was...
