Live TV onboards ARE exciting beyond belief
And that’s all really. Don’t mess with the format of rallying, just present it to general public, present its teams and stars, then put cameras in cars and broadcast it alive. Only people who do not understand rallying will question whether seeing Sebastien Ogier storming downhill on a narrow, wet and muddy tarmac road is somehow “not exciting enough” or “not television friendly”.
And this too…
@WorldRallyBlog I would gladly pay a regular subscription fee for this kind of live coverage. This is fantastic! #WRC

@WorldRallyBlog dear #WRC: do you realize how many people are watching "illegal" live feeds online right now? In languages they don't know?

@WorldRallyBlog …you might want to take this as a sign. Provide an official version, get a few translators, charge €5 per rally, profit #WRC
