Just been watch the telly Monte Carlo coverage on YouTube, I think it's produced by speed now.

Has anyone else noticed that at the start of the episodes, they give a preview of the upcoming year for Wrc 2013' and list the dates for each rally.

The only problem is that they are listing Rally Sweden as 10th Feb, which is actually the end of the Rallly Sweden.

I know because we are booked to go as we have for the last 10 years, and we arrive on the first day if the rally which is actually the 7th feb.

I wonder how any professional Programme producer can make such a major error?

WRC TV production is a big mess at the moment and it's going to continue like that unless they sort out broadcasting rights deals and get a permanent team who are all confident they'll have jobs from one round to the next.

A wrong caption is probably the least of their worries!

Could be the day they are going to broadcast the highlights.

Agree WRC is a shadow of its former self, we are worried that we will see the same format in the future, so we are going to as many if the Wrc events we can.

That's probably the explanation, it will most likely be 1 hour of coverage for the whole 3 day event!

I recall when there used to be a 2 hour program at the end of each days proceedings, and then a special highlights show on the Sunday.

Not any more!

If you look at the complete calendar that they show, all the dates are the Sunday (ie: the final day of the rally) the exception being Finland which is listed on a Saturday for some reason.

TV coverage has always done this, not sure why.
