Does anyone know where it's possible to watch WRC, online or otherwise? I'm located in the US.

Speed used to air the 30 min highlight shows in the middle of the night. Now that's it's Fox Sports 1 I don't know. I googled it briefly and MAVTV came up? I've never heard of it but I don't have cable so there are probably a lot of channels I've never heard of.

Apart from that torrents would be your best bet followed by maybe vipbox (for live coverage), then maybe if you were able to find a random justin tv or youtube channel that uploaded them.

Right now you're in luck; the Rally de Portugal starts today and some stages are shown live on public TV here and can be followed online on http://www.rtp.pt/play/direto/rtp2 (I believe the website works worldwide...otherwise search for "RTP 2")

The first stage starts in about 4 hours!

Let's do this!

Some big corner cutting...heh

 

[Roude Leiw]

nice time from Mikkelson.

 

[nny]

Damn, the VW are too strong.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Latvala was pushing hard. very impressive.

Edit: Holy crap. Ogier is a beast.

 

[nny]

Ogier flying! Great display.

VW 1-2-3.

 

[Shaneus]

Oh shit, is there a stream or something available? Or am I too late? It's only 8:30am in Australia, so I fear I may have missed it

Some stages are being shown live; the next are tomorrow, at noon and 17h05 (Portugal time). These will be "proper" rally stages, yesterday was a short city circuit to kick things up. )

 

[dubc35]

Live rally is best rally

Kubica continues his accident-prone season, and Latvala rolled.

Poor Kubica. So far good results from Hyundai. 2 stage wins!

Yep, 5th and 6th at the end of day 1 is not bad at all for Hyundai. Overall, great showing by Tanak, and Hirvonen taking the lead on the last stage of the day promises a day of intense fighting tomorrow!

edit: How Jari-Matti parked his car:

Good stuff here; 17 mins of in-car from the Reiter Lamborghini during the Pirelli World Challenge race last weekend.

There's something about any race footage from any class/category without ANY commentary that gives me wood every. time. MORE!

Side note: It's scary how much that footage looks/sounds like Grid 2. And I despise Codemasters.

 

[Dave_6]

^Agreed. Here's another really good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdJ5nHSwZrc

Racer has some great onboard videos on their channel.

Love most sports more without the commentary, as long as I know enough about them.

I posted this a few months ago re: the same topic:

Edit: Turns out, just searching for "trackside" on Youtube gets you stacks of audio-only videos

...as the first cars take to the road on the first stage of day 3 of Rally de Portugal, here's a short video on the last stages of yesterday, and how treacherous these roads can be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuA7Kxq4Djk

Friendly reminder: in around 2-hours time there is a live stage on TV: http://www.rtp.pt/play/direto/rtp1

 

[nny]

Live WRC is on.

nooo. they block it this time outside of Portugal.

Really? that sucks...today is in RTP1, (not 2), maybe that's the difference? maybe try googling for streams of "RTP 1"? :/

yeah. found one!

 

[nny]

Excellent! You haven't missed much, Elfyn is the first on the road.

 

[nny]

Tanak stopped. Shame.

edit: Hirvonen also with problems.

 

[nny]

hah, now there's something you don't see everyday.

...and no DRS was needed! ;P

...and another overtake.

 

[Roude Leiw]

yeah my stream stopped working and i missed most of the action. very unfortunate for Tanak though. he was driving a great rally.

 

[nny]

Well, Tanak cut the road and the cars behind couldn't go through for a while; shortly after the stage was interrupted, so the cars that were in it just came driving slowly until the end, so there wasn't much to see.

In any case, the second run of this stage will be shown live in +/- 4 hours, and it will be back on RTP2, so maybe you will have more luck with it.

 

[Roude Leiw]

so will this stage not count since Hirvonen was blocked by Tanak?

 

[nny]

The drivers that were affected by the accident will be given an "artificial" stage time; in practice I don't know yet how many seconds this will put Hirvonen behind, but certainly not the 6 minutes he lost on the stage.

 

[Roude Leiw]

seems he got the same time than Seb on SS10. The fight is not over yet! ;P

 

[nny]

That's good; the fight at the top has been great, so losing Tanak and Hirvonen in one stage would kill much of the excitement.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Ogier seems on fire.

 

[nny]

Another great time for Ogier; Hirvonen seems to be out of tires. Neuville with suspension problems. Next stage is live (RTP2).

WRC drivers ordered not to talk to TV

http://au.eurosport.com/wrc/wrc-drivers-ordered-not-to-talk-to-tv_sto4201981/story.shtml

I read on a german site that the promoter wanted 300.000€ from every team for media coverage.

What the hell...On the Service Park Stream the drivers seemed to be giving interviews to TV. Messy stuff.

 

[nny]

Ogier managing his lead (and tires) and still managed to gain some time over Mikko.

Though morning for Hyundai: Sordo retires with a problem before even reaching the stage; Hännninen had an exit in the stage, but managed to continue.

did not hope to wake up and read that. well at least Neuville managed to get back safely to service yesterday.

 

[nny]

+/- 10 minutes to go to the Power Stage! This stage is usually easier to catch on TV; here it will be shown on RTP1 (http://www.rtp.pt/play/direto/rtp1).

Neuville is on track to be the best Hyundai again!

 

[nny]

Latvala full on attack. Spetacular driving!

Edit: oops, thatmistake on the hairpin could have cost Neuville a place.

 

[Roude Leiw]

argh. neuville lost his all whell drive >_> rear wheel drive only.
