As you are aware Ireland is hosting a round of the World Rally Championship in November this year and Irish motorsport fans, old and new, are taking an increasing interest in the 2007 WRC championship. Those fans that do not have access to satalite broadcasting are relying on RTE broadcasting reports of each round, for which we are most grateful. Unfortunately these reports are aired 3 days after the conclusion of the event and at an extremely un-socialable hour very early on Wednesday morning. As you can imagine 3 days is a lifetime in the world we live in now and any degree of excitement tends to pass. Is it possible that the programme could be broadcast at a more amenable time on Sunday evening? We appreciate that RTE viewers have many varied interests but in the year of Rally Ireland we feel that some consideration should be given to the interests of motorsport fans.

    • WRC coverage at a decent time, preferrably on the final day of the event, otherwise RTЙ are wasting licence-payers money by paying for the coverage to be shown at a ridiculous hour when it is available for recording only & often preceeded by repeats of programmes already aired!

    • RTE need to show WRC at resonable times. RTE should also start giving more air time (at a reasonable time) to Irish Rallying in General.
