A bit off topic guess but, I do remember enjoying the commentary of the presenter who did the coverage around 1999 and 2000. I dont know who he was, but he had a strange british? accent and seemed to looooove saying Carlos Sainz's name.

Anyone remember who Im thinking of?

**casinobonbone** · 01-09-2012, 01:18 PM

Tiff Needell?

**nvideoe** · 01-09-2012, 01:57 PM

Does this mean that Paul King will no longer commentate on the WRC?

Maybe I can actually watch a rally again with some enjoyment. I hate listening to that patronizing moron. Ban me, don't care, but that guy's commentary was probably one of the biggest turn offs of North One's WRC coverage.

It's sad that 40 odd people will probably lose their jobs because their new CEO is a crook and fraudster.

But maybe, just maybe this is the start of decent WRC coverage...i'd prefer a live internet stream plus some sort of televised highlights package

Mark James?

**ticskebasse** · 01-09-2012, 09:00 PM

Tony Mason?

**amusaasyday** · 01-09-2012, 10:30 PM

Martin Heaven?

**HunterM** · 01-09-2012, 10:41 PM

Phil Tabor?

**DoniandaCoado** · 01-09-2012, 11:48 PM

It has to be Mark James. I think he still does the Wales Rally GB coverage on BBC.

**VDAu5p33** · 01-10-2012, 01:08 PM

Defiantly not Tiff, could pick his voice out of a pack of screaming mad men. Almost as distinguished as the voice of Jeremy Clarkson.

Im assuming this is the voice of Mark James?

Nope, not him.

Tony Mason? Short stubby bloke?
Pretty sure I know his voice too. He used to do some cometary more around the early 90's, right?

AHHH, Its this bloke!

It's Jeremy Hart.

**neerewed** · 01-10-2012, 07:55 PM

It's Jeremy Hart.

Was going to say that it was probably one of the lot that were involved when Channel 4 were doing coverage. I taped the whole season back then, when they were doing a show each night and a round up for every event. It was exciting that rallying was getting decent coverage on a FTV channel...but then they pushed it to middle of the night stuff and then it slipped to ITV before ending up on Dave. Basically it was a slow slump since it left the Beeb.

Who even owns wrc.com? The whois results don't give anything away.

Not sure, but I would think it is NOS, and they probably own quite a lot of the WRC infrastructure.

**Karensmith** · 01-10-2012, 10:30 PM

If that's the case wrc.com might remain dormant for some time.

**assohillA** · 01-11-2012, 12:34 AM

I have already deleted wrc.com app from my phone and removed it from my bookmarked sites on the computer.

Don't suppose you fancy uploading some of that on YouTube?

Used to love the opening theme music on Channel 4.

Sorry, don't have the equipment or know-how (or inclination). I keep meaning to watch some of it back but never really get round to it, also the regular appearances of Colin, Richard and Beef mean that it will always be tinged with a degree of sadness for me.
