« on: January 26, 2012, 04:41:59 pm »
Is it on anywhere else other than Motors tv? Trying really hard but not sure how much longer I can cope with their awful coverage............ :confused:

Looks like Eurosport will be the new WRC promoter and will televise the season. They did the Monte at short notice with Carlton Kirby on the words.  Really need Paul King to do it.  North One Sport had the rights for the last ten years but their russian owner turned out to be a bit of a bank robber and his company went under leaving North One and Portsmouth FC in trouble.

Recorded both the Eurosport coverage and Motors tv stuff last weekend, to my surprise they both showed exactly the same 30 minute footage each night, just with different commentators.

As has been said Carlton Kirby was on vocals for Eurosport which was better than the bloke narrating on Motors tv.

It's not great coverage though, very trimmed down from previous Motors TV coverage of an hour per day which they did last year. Either way Loeb wins....like he does most WRC rallies.
