FFS I have just been looking to put the WRC coverage on series link, cant find it anywhere on Dave and just found out there is NO coverage anywhere that is free. I dont want/cant afford to fork out £30 a month to get sky when I hardly ever watch the tv, and dont want to go down the topup tv route with my freeview as I may as well bite the bullet and get sky if I do that. Is it too much to ask that there is coverage on terrestrial tv?

I'm pretty annoyed at the lack of coverage this year. I liked the convenience of Dave, "The home of motoring"

Motors TV is Sky, which the OP doesn't want to pay for (neither do I tbh).

I'm a bit pissed off at the lack of WRC on Dave too. I do have Motors TV, but the WRC roundups are on at a time when I've got no chance of getting the TV! The WRC coverage was one of the few things I actually watched on TV. Not happy! frown

Stig Blomqvist has actively discouraged his son from going down the rally route, that says it all for me. Rallying has lost it's way big time.

Carlos Sainz's son, also called Carlos is going down the racing route. He's shown a bit of potential as well.

There simply aren't enough top line seats, and until this is rectified, you can't blame them for their decisions.

Saying that though - Rally Sweden has so far been fantastic. If the rest of the season is the same - then it should be a stonker!!

Correct! The sport accepted the WRC thing, this is the way to get TV coverage it was said. RAC used to get live coverage and an hour every night, and news coverage.

Now what does that day stage event in Wales get? As covered above and elsewhere only on a pay channel, not freeview.

He was an utter twerp when he was competing but Dave Richards has once again proved his cock socketry.
