[Red Five]

Anyone been watching this? I gave it a miss last year, but last night noticed it was live on Eurosport for two hours so thought I'd give it a try. How fantastic to see proper night stages again - especially as it was Monte Carlo - and Eurosport did a great job of showing it, almost completely onboard shots and the commentator stayed quiet so you could enjoy the noise of the cars and co-drivers, only coming in occasionally and between stages, two hours of coverage and only two minutes of adverts between the two live stages.

After the WRC lost my interest by watering down the sport too much by losing night stages, losing some of the more interesting Rallys (ie. the Safari Rally) and running pretty much the same stages for the three days, this may get me interested in Rallying again, ok they only run S2000 cars but it was enjoyable to watch.

I noticed that was on last night. I think i may have to start getting interested in it. The cars look better, it seems better organised and it has a bigger entry list. Furthmore, they run the rallies that the WRC don't due to their stupid calendar rules.
