I thought Paul King and Becs did the commentary and Jon Densborough did the interviews?

Motors TV. Not got BT. Picture quality seems better than I remember, it used to be shocking on my 50" full HD plasma. I can get my fill of HD on ITV4

Looks very wet out there, so should be interesting.

Let's hope the stop control is more than a few feet after the finish unlike SS8. hehe

That was fking nuts wasn't it? Could you have managed the carnage if they had not had that open run-off area?

I'm having to slum it with WRC radio as not on BT, but it is pretty good coverage and means I can get on with some DIY.

Best thing is the WRC radio website is no longer flash, so works on my ipad which means I can use Airplay to stream it around the house! smile

Just thought, is there a live feed ont'internet - like there was last year on Rally France?

Not so much nuts as bl**dy dangerous. Got to say the conditions look absolutely treacherous this year.

I've had a google but couldn't find a free live TV stream on the internet.

My FIL had BT, so I wonder if I can use his BT Sport logon for Web TV on my PC and use it at my house? I know someone who does the same with his friend's online Sky subscription to watch Sky Sports.

A shame John Desperate's commentary didn't have the same effect. Is he on drugs ?
John Desperate on crack is still better than Paul King!

Anyway, good coverage so far despite the commentary, I just hope Brain Bouffant and Meeke are still in the top 4 when I tune back into Motors tonight.

I think the live coverage is okay. But where are the live split times? The live IRC coverage was better, but it's just a few tweaks needed.

The conditions for the start of the last stage are looking a bit grim.

Did Evans run that stage with one headlight? Looks absolutely dreadful out there.

Glad to see Jari-Matti taking it easy as usual. biggrin

So pleased to see Meeke on the podium, hopefully the first of many!.

Good coverage from BT.

An enjoyable rally.

Ogier head and shoulders better than anyone else but great results for Meeke and Evans

Great to see live coverage again on BT Sport but not sure a night stage was the best one to choose - couldn't see anything!

Looking forward to Sweden already though

Agree with all of that. The first run over the Turini would've been better. Still, we should be glad there was a live stage, this time last year the only way I could watch the Monte was by watching a Youtube video at the end of each day ! Progress indeed !

Looks like motors tv are doing a eurosport and not showing the rally great.
