| I wonder if the fans will put logs on the track for Loeb like they did for Sainz 10 years ago? |

Just looked at the stage times, the fightback is on! I would like to see
Hirvonen win it fair and square! |

How unlucky was Hirvonen? Mind it was one hell of a landing that caused
his bonnet to pop open! In the end, Loeb still probably deserved it but
this year has been the making of Miko!
On another note - what the hell waste of time was Dave's sort of
coverage of our flagship WRC event?? The first 5 mins was wasted on
the year so far and Alan Shearer getting a ride in a Focus. To add to that
how much air time was wasted on a mini-autotest demo by Paul Swift
with Dom Joly! Couldn't this be fitted into a preview show???
When all came to all, the top 6 were once again the only cars given
any worthy coverage and for god's sake will Paul King shut up once in a
while and let us hear the cars! Rewind 20 years to BBC coverage with
daily slots and tails from right down the order - and a bit of british
coverage! That's how it should be!!
Rant Over!!!!!!!!! |

Havent seen the program yet, but i'm sure i also dont want to be watching Paul swift doing demo's etc. I agree that sort of stuff should be shown next week in a review show.
Rally itself was great as usual. top cars are mind blowingly fast and nothing else i see throughout the year even comes close. Steve Perez did well, but looked like he was strolling in comparison to main Ford drivers and Peter Stephenson was setting a pace on par with two wheel drive fiestas in his Focus WRC.
The speed and commitment into the corners defies belief and every year... they go faster than what you imagine they are going to go. Hard to believe they can get that much grip from a mud and gravel surface.
Unbelievable.
Last year of the WRC cars next year..... definately not to be missed. |

I'm writing a report for the oily rag.
Epic event. World class it just puts it into comparison the difference in skill and commitment from clubman events. well worth the £100's spent watching it.
If you want to watch some other coverage I suggest you go on BBC's iplayer as there're broadcasting the event on BBC wales but I assume it'll be on iplayer afterwards and it wont have all the filler shite you get on dave

Hi All,
Just watched the rallying on Dave, for an hours rallying programme there wasn't much in the rally itself. WRC Car airtime must have been less than 15 mins. If i want to see hand brake turns id go to majuba and do 1 myself. The programme didnt do the event any justice, and dont think there will be many new fans after it. Still, its better than no coverage at all. F1 gets most of a sunday, football prime time evenings and all day saturday on sky sports news. 1 hour for a weekends WRC 'forest frashing' aint enough imo.
Stu, Shell, and Bump.

who the hell is Bump ?
.... ohhhh yeah.... bump....
i agree about the coverage... i think its getting worse. too much emphisis on the special guests these days. I dont moan too much tho, as to date, Dave has had the most consistant coverage of the World Championship we have ever had. BBC only showed RGB and the odd european round a week later, Ch 4 was inconsistant and ITV4 showed it at silly times with no repeats (unlike BTCC which is repeated 20 times over two weeks till your sick of seeing it).
Dave show every round within hours of the finish and also show PWRC and JWRC. we get 51 one hr shows a year with reruns.. more than ever before in British TV history. Quality is poor at times, but as Stu says... better than none at all.
BBC shown Ireland (in Ireland) and wales (in Wales), but both were two days later and one day later respectively. Thats why they shouldnt get it in my opinion.... who wants to watch it days after... or even a week after as it used to be? |

One thing i never praised DAVE for was the coverage was on the day the
event finished, but at one point when C4 covered the championship you
used to get 30 mins every day of the event which was probably better
than we have now. I still think that BBC / Top Gear (Wooly Willy Woolard)
set the template for how our flagship event should be covered! |
