So I believe the new Polo is doing well?

Cannot find one scrap of TV coverage currently. Anyone anymore info on this?

You won't see it on S4C until April apparently...

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/105145

One of my earliest Motorsport memories is seeing the Quattro's coming into the Afan Lido car park in Port Talbot for their overnight stop.

It would be a shame if this issue isn't resolved and we get less and less coverage. I'd even settle for the coverage Dave did for now. Something's better than nothing.

Oops, just seen that April was already mentioned, sorry for the repetition!

S4C coverage is good for some of us though. ;)

Terrible state of affairs! It wasn't that long ago that WRC was bigger than F1!!

Well, Loeb won the Monte Carlo Rally for the 7th time, but Ogier did very well in the Polo. Great debut and hopefully a sign of things to come!!!

According to David Evans (autosport / MNews) there were a few UK TV companies ready to air the WRC but they all wanted money to do so. It appears that was the stumbling block. They have 3 weeks to sort it out before Rally Sweden !

Its a shame really as the production by the new promoters is really very good. I've been watching them on youtube. SpeedTV in Australia have been showing them. Half hour bulletins every night.  Uploaders name WRCforeva. Take a look.

Regarding the Monte , Ogier did really well , won the first stage but  Latvala crashed on the last day. Big impact too.



If latvala can keep it on the road I think VW will have a good year.
