More Than Machine Series

It's a very good series, Didn't have the cheesy effect of DTS, but felt the adrenaline. Nice job on that.

On one side I'd say it's great because is totally accessible and free, but it would've better to be also on Netflix, which is basically a target of soon-to-be fans that might potentially be ready to pay for a subscription to see the whole action.
 
"More than Machine" is largely on the right track. Hardcore fans will always find ways to access the sport, but the casual observer can only develop an interest if the stories or sub-plots are told in an easy-to-understand format.

my least favorite so far. the other two were cooler imo.
sad to confirm that even doing excellent shows for the hardcore fans that doesnt change the sport's visibility.
every racing series started doing stuff like that to follow f1's hype but its just not the same. and dont get fooled by netflix, youtube have a bigger reach. of course f1 had more money to promote the trailer for the show, but eh, its just... they just lost money doing that. not even we, the peak fans (haha) are commenting here like f1 fans talk on reddit about DtS. eh...

Based on this episode, (based on current rumors) losing Fourmaux to Hyundai is quite hard to swallow for Wilson and Millener. Feels quite sad actually. They need someone to deliver next year to survive.

Takeaway from this episode is also, that they try to produce a rally driver from Munster, but there is a lack of talent.
 
M-Sport showed clearly here how much they've put into Fourmaux and how they'll do all they can to convince him to stay. If he does go to Hyundai it will be 100% his decision and a kick in the teeth for the Team that's done so much for him.

I was actually surprised how he showed he was really annoyed with the technical issues. Surely he knows by now its rallying how parts can fail and bad luck goes around everyone.

Also the way he was speaking to the girl providing him with his stuff and his lunch came across quite poorly. He seemed to be becoming a bit of a diva.

I need to admit I lost a lot of respect for Fourmaux because of that. I agree with the rest of the comments as well.
 
Watched, looks a bit like a "corner cutting" of the concept - very little real insights, just some off script comments here and there. But still, though, good that we can see some back-stage events of the team. Martins Sesks - a fresh breath that is just a must to make the WRC more live and attractive to wider audiences.
 
it was a fun watch, to relieve those 2 rounds. sesksmania is real, we need him in 2025.
and to be fair those P5 and P7 were incredible. you can see the team kinda sad after the powerstage disaster but f* it, it were 2 excellent rallies for martin!

oh, btw. Hyundai also puts out some videos after the rallies. im sure most here follow them too but heres the link anyway

Hyundai releasing a documentary about the 2024 season
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMBC4cxsANU&t
looks interesting... but just like their good content on youtube or msport's good content... the good more than machine content... its just not F1. haha racing fans asking for all their favorite racing series to have more presence online, with content that could be attractive to non racing fans - LIKE F1 DID - to get the YOUNGSTERS onboard... but ehhhh, it simply doesnt work. wasted money imo. looks interesting tho, cant wait

Hyundai's 2024 season docuseries was worth the watch. Nothing too revealing, but its was good to get some behind-the-scenes clips on people and procedures we never get to see normally.
 
The final episode 'Pressure' based on Rally Chile was a bit sad to watch now, after Fourmaux left and Sesks didnt get a f/time seat in 2025.

2024 could well be seen as a kind of golden year for M-Sport having some Fourmaux podiums and the excitement from Sesks' appearances.

The drivers there in 2025 dont look to have much chance of creating any results or buzz for the Team. :(

Yes, I really enjoyed it and some on-board clips from he season I'd not seen before like Tanak hitting the inflatable advert.
