2008, 2009 & 2010 WRC will be shown by "DAVE" the new TV channel. I guess ITV weren't interested in it.
apparently, there will be a weekly 60 min rally tv show.
just seems like it keeps getting passed around with no interest. lets see what happens this time

hope it wont be a a repeat of the last weeks rally though.

Still can't beat the BBC coverage or if you are old enough the World of Sport! Also RTE the Irish TV station used to give mega coverage of the Circuit of Ireland, which according to MN this week is back to being a "proper" circuit.
Drove Sally Gap whisl on holiday, miles of twisting moorland road and only 1 junction!

'World of Soort' was legendary...... but never been a leading light when it came to rallying coverage. In its day, it was brilliant (there wasn't anything else), but compared to today, its poor.
Sky show BRC normally couple of days after event, but for the WRC, we get an hour highlight show put together within few hours of them crossing the line. BBC may have looked like good coverage, but I'm not interested in watching a week after the event. that can never be considered 'good'. Could you imagine... Rally Finland has just finished.... but BBC coverage is of Rally Deutschland a week earlier, add to that, half way hrough they cut to '3.20 from Newmarket'.... unthinkable.
CH4 did come up with their own show which wasn't too bad given the logistical problems they would have creating a show with a small team, but it didn't last (to be honest..... Robbie head doing 'splits' in middle of a stage wasn't best idea' |

I agree, odd video night with old stuff would be great.. as for sky... BRC coverage isn't bad, but Mike Brewer just doesn't cut it as rally commentator for me.
lets get a night organised with some good stuff |

Nice change!
