Default who's been watching the Monte?

Its great to have it back in the WRC them nights stages over the turini brings back so many memories from when i first got into rallying and fast fords in the early 90's.

Think the commentator pants tho well he is on motors tv

Agreed on the commentry but loving the new virtual spectator.

Can't believe the spectators standing in blind places, great to see Petter doing well on the 1st outing.

Seb just proved he's a world champion with doing the studded tyres on each axle.

The coverage was put together only in the last few days due to admin of WRC going tits up. It should get better for the next round. Great battle between Sordo and Solberg. Great to see Petter doing so well, the man is a legend. Sordo seems to have more confidence without Loeb in the same team. Looking like it's going to be a good year. Can't wait to see Meeke in the Mini
