hopefully WRC and ESPN will have taken a long hard look at eurosports coverage of the IRC from monte carlo, more live coverage and in car footage than you could shake a stick at (what the hell does that mean anyway?), commentators that actually appeared to be watching the event rather than talking randonly over a coffee and nice simple interviews with drivers at the stage finishes (just enough without becoming an inconvenience to the drivers).
also for some reason the actual in car footage seemed to be of higher visual quality than what you see on the WRC, not sure if it really was, but maybe the equipment was of higher quality, at one point it was good enough to make my parents, who are in their late 70's, stop as they walked past and stand watching it for a good 15 minutes and my 11 year old son, who normally doesn't give motorsport on TV a second glance, quite happily watched the whole of the last two stages coverage without any encouragement from me.
