But usually how often is it on?

You ususaly get half an hour per day, per rally but it seems to be entirely random to me, ie I've just missed it:rolleyes:

30 mins each evening the events is on plus an introduction programme they call the shakedown before the event. I think the shakedown is a few days before, could be the weekend before, not sure, that's why I always miss it. Todays evening coverage was 16:05 because the event finished at 14:00 or so. This will vary from event to event.

Pluse Eurosport coverage at about midnight each evening too. Spoilt for choice we are.

C4's coverage seems to aimed at the man in the street so is less technical and seems to have more of the how and why articles, not a bad thing. Eurosport's is aimed more at the enthusiast in my opinion so has more coverage of the cars and appears to use the virtual spectator bit more.

Channel 4 is c**p anyway,too much bull,I prefer just watching the action on Eurosport.

Ive missed this rally bar the last one this afternoon.

Wouldnt mind watching it more, its just not publishsed that much.

Aaah... I missed today's due to my PDA alarm not going off properly. Have to watch Eurosport later (much later). Thank god I don't have to get up early Monday.

Oh, and the shakedown is usually the weekend before it - on the Friday, I think(?) about the same time as the rally progs for the event are. Obviously where it is in the world alters time zones and what else they want to put on C4 that evening affects when it can go out too.

Are then screening super specials this time then?

Not seen any yet. Previous years (as you've probably seen too) they've maybe referred to it with a few seconds of footage, but that's about it. I'd like to see more of it too. Although it isn't quite so good for TV (much better for spectators) with shorter tracks

If you want to set the video, the C4 coverage is repeated on Wednesday night/ Thursday morning at 1.50am-3.20am.
Video plus code 8765479.
The repeats are all three days coverage but not the shakedown (which was repeated last week).
I got really good at spotting the random time slots last year and just managed to catch the whole series on VCR. Managed to miss one shakedown i think. Any offers? :)

Cheers for Info. thats what really bugged me about rally GB no speical stages, especally when some top drives crashed out on it.

Left a bit of a gap as to what happened for me.
