WRC Sweden expected to be shown on Motors TV...

It simply cant go on like this though, the FIA have to sort a permanent deal out ASAP!

I'm hoping ITV4 still want it, they might use the mess to put in an insultingly low offer though.

WRC Team Mini Portugal livery has been revealed.



so its just like Prodrives Mini WRC, but in black with a slash of green. Thats imaginative


i dont care who gets the coverage for the WRC rounds as long as i can see it for free, or at least without paying anything on top of my sky package, and as long as its not a 30 min programme with 25 mins of previous days action. Hell i wouldn’t car if they didn’t show the footage till a few days later to offer a better programme than the cutnshut quick edit were probs gonna end up with.

MINI WRC 2012 Campaign Update.

BMW PR department struggle to organise a 2012 WRC rally campaign, starting the season with an unconvincing press release detailing / glossing over u-turn from 2011 fanfare, in essence the following springs to mind!

MINI 'beer drinking festival' or piss-up situated in a 'beer hostelry' or more specifically brewery.

Ditch them Meeke and move on join...

Latvala is looking very fast also Motors TV is where you'll still be able to watch WRC highlights.

P Solberg +0.868
Loeb +1.211
Ostberg +1.361
Brynildsen +2.213
Sandell +2.801
Prokop +3.207

And the running order for the 1st stage will be...

Østberg, Göransson, Neuville, Merksteijn, Prokop, Sordo, Ketomaa, Brynilsden, Araujo, Nobre, Tänak, Novikov, Al-Attiyah, Solowow, Henning Solberg, Sandell, Latvala, Hirvonen, Petter Solberg, Loeb, Andersson, Mikkelsen, Paddon, Breen, Ogier, McRae, Oleksowicz, Al Rajhi, Tideman, Aasen, Grøndal, Weng and the rest

Come on JML

I'm a big Loeb fan but it would be so nice for someone else to win.
They're all good guys.

Black with a green slash isn't very original either!

The motors tv coverage is really god this weekend, quite like the 2 commentators and the cars look and sound great and look very quick on the snow.

In total agreement, perhaps they've listened. Good and short in car footage with excellent external shots too.
I think the two commentators work well together as well.
Pleasantly surprised after the recent doom and gloom.

Good news, was out at the pub and realised I'd forgot to set it to record. Luckily I've got that Sky app on my phone and set it to record on that! Might have to get my ass out of bed to go watch it.....
