After being unimpressed so far I have to say that I was really impressed with the programme put out tonight by Channel 4.

Lots of action from the cars with decent commentary, including a full stage from start to finish, and only a little analysis at the end of the program.

At the speed that the presenters were talking tonight they couldn't get through the links quick enough to start showing the action again.

If Channel 4 can keep the format like this then things are definitely on the up.

I think the CH4 producers have been reading the WRC threads on ScoobyNet BBS

PP

I think they have also read their own World Rally forum as well, exactly the same views were aired there too.

Hopefully the format of the programme will remain as it was tonight.

They even mentioned Subaru in a positive light

Apart from the sound ****-up when they announced the competition results it was much better.

Thanks Prodrive for getting at least one of the cars to the end of the rally so that a comment could be made about it

I also thought it was much better and wasn't that a superb doughnut, probably the first time I have seen him smile!

Thought it was just me who felt tonights program was a marked improvement on the usual studio chat. LOADS of car action tonight. The full stage with Burnsie was good as well. I was somewhat surprised by the amount of 'notes' Robert reads out - Its a wonder the driver can process all that info as well as driving the car. Astounded !!

Keep up the good work Dave Richards & C4

no really 2 nite was a marked improvement on what has gone before
i love the in car stuff,
but last nite was rubbish there wasnt 10 mins of driving , fare enough cancelled stages but euro sport managed to fill "space".
show us the action ,not a studio with wooden horses,we need to see people with panizzi's enthusiasm, not slobs on a sofa with there feet on the table.
