In the USA: how do you watch WRC?
�

What kind of options do I have to watch WRC in the USA?
No channels carry it around here.
I'm thinking about subscribing to the WRC site for 39.99 pounds cuz I don't know how else to see footage.

You can find the episodes all over the net, just have to look.
| bitterWRX | 10-25-2006 06:10 AM |
I download mine from the internet. They usually come out a week or so after the race itself but I don't mind the wait. Better than not watching it.
| SPOOLN STI | 10-25-2006 08:24 AM |
Speed channel and some of the special ESPN channels usually have it. Oh also the Outdoor channel sometimes has a few events.

Years past they did carry it, but not this year. There is no US coverage of WRC this year.
Download the European coverage off the web or bit torrent.

I don't think it has anything to do with making more room on the network for shows such as Barret Jackson, or racing like NASCAR. It was a contract dispute, or lack there of with EuroSport. Which is the network that films, and originally broadcast the event. However, they show clips on Speed News which means they still have access to at least some of the footage...
As far as watching it here, there used to be a great site but think the person no longer uploads it to their site :( [url]http://www.corriewolfe.com/Movies/[/url]

A whole season of unique whips probably costs less to make and air than one WRC broadcast. Probably has more to do with no WRC than anything else...
By all means hate on SPEED but the reason there is no WRC on TV in the US like it used to be isn't because of the networks but because ISC/NorthOne want so much freaking money.

but how many of those are shown during the season, day of the race? the last 4 are shown at the end of the year when there is no NASCAR to show. Granted, it makes my wait for F1 and WRC easier to bare, I don't really consider that as acceptable replacement. I usually end up downloading DTM and Aussie V8 during the season via bittorrent along with WRC, instead of waiting for december for SPEED to air it.
The only redeeming factor SPEED has is Formula1. And for those complaining about the 11 PM air time WRC, try waking up at 6 in the morning on sunday for F1. I assure you its harder, but SPEED still airs it. So the airtime is not the problem with the fanbase, which in turn is not the reason for it not being on SPEED. Its all about the cost.

| Jay911 | 02-06-2008 01:57 AM |
SPEED has a cadre of apologists on their forums who will make excuses for every stupid decision that SPEED makes. The latest excuse is that SPEED, with the power of the FOX conglomerate behind it, couldn't afford the US/NA distribution rights for WRC for 2007 (and presumably 2008). Never mind that a regional cable provider in the midwest managed to pick partial coverage up for 2007, or that Eurosport in the EU been able to afford it all along.
SPEED has a definite abhorrence to anything that might involve taking a risk when it comes to viewers. They will gladly dump total crap on the public - programs that outright insult the viewer and appear to the lowest common denominator for the least possible cost. Anything that requires an expenditure or a fan base, or isn't guaranteed to give them an easy return, is not worth checking out.
V8 Supercars is aired in January each year in a rudely butchered format. All races including the 1000 kilometer Bathurst marathon are cut up to fit in an hour US TV format. DTM suffers the same fate. As someone else said, it's put off until the time of year when no NASCAR racing is going on. Instead, during the racing season, we get dozens of reruns of the dreck programming that FOX/SPEED thinks is what the average viewer wants to see. They have one or two acceptable shows - like SETUP, returning this year, where amateur racers compete with identical (baseline) cars to eventually get a ride with Pontiac. However, easily three-quarters of SPEED's broadcast day is rubbish.
As for where to watch WRC, there are people who get out HQ torrents of the half-hour Eurosport coverage that caps each day of an event, generally within 12 hours of the airing on Eurosport. Racing torrent sites have them aplenty.

Rocky Mountains, not mid west.
And just a point, but I believe the argument is that the WRC generates less revenue than say a rerun of unique whips. Not that SPEED can't afford it, but that it costs too much and returns too little for it to make sense.
Other countries have networks that provide the feed because they are able to generate sufficient revenue to make it worthwhile. And in a lot of countries WRC coverage is going to cable instead of over the air network TV because of the deteriorating Revenue:Cost ratio for WRC programming...
