I've said before the main issue is the Promotion; and that is what the problem is. It's still pretty rubbish. The TV doesn't really capture the spectacular enough - I saw a video on Twitter last night from Sanremo 1997; it told a story of the event, interviews, had a small technical section on brakes, and this all in 27mins.

RBMH aren't doing enough - TV should be for highlights/ review type programmes. They have RedBull TV for live streaming....So why not use it more often? Too many promoters don't actually promote - but sell TV rights and think that's okay.
I think RBMH have no idea about WRC and how to promote it. We don't expect miracles but at least solid highlights on free view channels at the end of rally day, lets say same way as Eurosport used to do it in 2005-2009. Anything more would be great. But if RBMH don't get it maybe they should leave, since they came nothing new or better happened to WRC, it's even worse in fact.
