Welcome to the club, I got this problems, since Monte 2024. Oh and every second crash, I got logged out for some reason. Annoying as hell. Bad service, nothing else to say, but sadly we don't have other choice to follow WRC.

I just notice that on 18th feb to 19th feb they will perform maintenance on that site. I just hope they will fix those issues, because it's about time.

But hey, at least we can hear Rally Radio….also it’s only been two years since he joined full time, but I can’t stand hearing Mike Chen anymore, his voice is annoying as hell and it’s not as if he has anything to add to “recap everything that just happened as if we’re still in radio Becksy”… no chance of this promoter changing I guess…

I wish there was the option to disable commentators during the live stages. I just can't stand the constant praising(deserved and undeserved) of everyone. It's like they are best friends with them and scared to criticize them. I'd much rather listen to cars and codrivers even if I can't understand most of them. Brynildsen is the only one worth listening to...

They brought this feature in after it was requested by people. Then they removed it and it seems unlikely for it to return

This time has been crystal clear from thursday till powerstage, no lag or anything. Take stream from app on iphone and transmit to a samsung tv.

This.

The worst thing to ever happen in sports commentary is to have two of them, leading to constant talking.

STFU and let us hear the cars !

Yep. So many times this weekend I thought "god, will you just shut up".

I guess if they did shut up, somebody might notice it's better without them, and then they'd be out of a job.

I dont believe this can work in same way like in formula 1 or cycling...

I agree. Broadcasting important live radio info from the Teams to drivers wont be acceptable to them. Like in F1 it would have to be delayed.

Improving Team Radios doesn't automatically means that they need to spoil tactics and stuff. But come on, Jarmo's congrats to Elfyn were enthusiast as a tax officer. On this side, WRC promoter can "suggest" teams and drivers to have some more colourful comments on their team radios.

Since there's not much manufacturers and there's no new on sight in the near future, it would be great to build some "characters" to the broader audience, which can compensate the lack of competition (which is exactly what F1 did when Mercedes was taking basically everything!) on a media perspective.

Before any of that, I'd suggest replacing the whole WRC TV Livecrew team...I'm sorry, they're there since 2005? 2006? and have only gotten worse over the years....it's enough you hear Paul King back in 2007, or even in 2011, or hell, even 2019 which was his last year doing the highlights alongside Jon Desborough and you'd see the decline...Becks Williams, I think enough has been said about her...the only thing I might do there is bring her back as a radio only (no tv) option...otherwise.... and don't get me started on Kiri Bloore...

I'd also replace Becs (...) and Chen (good only for an after-show on YT with Kiri lmao) with Paul King and Julian Porter, as for the other stage commentary I'd look around to other young guys I had to listen for other championships.

I don't understand why WRC Promoter is not looking at some of the guys they're streaming motorsport on Twitch etc.
GT World Challenge took for their multilingual streams people from there and they're hell good!

As for the Team Radio again, this can be easily fixed with a meeting from WRC Promoter in which there's some tips to bring out their character. Imagine Sesks quoting memes and stuff with his engineer, would be super entertaining for the audience!

I liked Mike Chen a lot when he joined. Something different than hearing the same people every rally. Recently it has started bugging me. It's the constant talking, but also the constant repetition of the same things. They get so lost in the talking that they even miss out on stuff happening on screen or just barely make a quick note of it.

The quality improves tenfold when there are guest commentators, preferably current/former drivers/co-drivers. Not only can they bring to the table more relevant information, but they also tend to speak less.

They went way overboard on the power stage especially, I get exhausted listening to it. I don't want to listen without commentators, I just want them to....slow down, relax a bit. Don't try to maximise words per minute

As the saying goes, sometimes it’s good to shut up…
