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.

    • Being the biggest sporting event to ever come to Ireland, I have no doubt that RTE will provide the same excellent coverage, as they normally do for other "Outside Broadcast" events.

    • RTE motorsport Coverage is pathetic! What is the agenda here? Appears as though RTE would prefer we were all soccer and gaa fans, you have to stay up till the middle of the night to wait on coverage... RTE, point to note, motorsport fans have jobs too!

    • I agree with this petition. Not only are the highlights of the WRC rounds shown very late at night but even "The Rally Review Show" with Michael Lyster can also be aired quite late. I personally would like to see alot more coverage of the WRC and also Irish rallying aired on any Irish Station as it is a growing sport and would attract alot of viewers.
