Too right! It's just about the only channel that's ever watched in our house.

As long as they're consistent with the scheduling it should be fine. Dave targets just the right demographic for the WRC, so it should be a good partnership.

That's the problem with motor sport on TV at the moment.

BTCC is the worst for it - when I watched it 'back in t'day' I knew that every other Sunday there would be two races in the afternoon: one live, one 'as live'.

Now it's like they put a calendar up on the wall and stick 18 pins into it, and show the races wherever the pins end up.

thats probably because itv have too many eggs in one overcrowded basket.

because of several things (including the cocks love affair with hamilton) f1 will always be No1 in the pecking order, followed next by british superbikes with btcc trailing well behind on the figures, speaking in tv terms, not enough people watch it...

Well that's gotta be good. Eurosport's 30 minutes is better than nothing but doesn't really do it justice...especially when it's sandwiched between 50 hours of snooker and curling furious

Eurosport's 30 minutes WRC is the biggest waste of space, in the history of motor sport.
