Since they started producing the TV programmes in HD this year, I reckon the on-board camera footage and locations have improved quite a lot.

Do you have any examples of that? I haven't seen a real improvement to be honest. And as far as HD goes, I have never seen real full HD from a WRC car.Quote:

Janvanvurpa has actually the right idea because people want to see what's happening (and the hard core fans want to see how it happened).Quote:

And generally, rallying isn't a TV friendly sport. The only way to get more people interested is actually embracing the new media fully. More content and of course the need for the kind of feed they did in France last year. That's what might get WRC more audience but all that demands quite much money.
Going back to your question. I don't know it by 100% but I'm more than pretty sure that I'm not wrong. Majority of people don't even notice details.
No, it has been discussed many times before.. This forum being mainly a "fan" forum, well we can probably assume , on average, a younger crowd somewhat distant to real participation, maybe a bad sample, or maybe those bored iwth in-car have already shot themselves, or bashed a crankshaft on their headQuote:

Well, if I am alone on this (that this - Ruben Zeltner WP4 Rallye Deutschland 2012 - YouTube - is great) then there is a long way to go :)
I really thought that all "the real fans" could see the differens in both picture quality and angle quality.
And to Rallyfiend: NOS calls it HD, but it has NOTHING to do with HD. That is one of the reasons why I hate them so much.
I have seen proper. By go pro. Have you seen ken blocks helmet cam? Awesome
