WRC on HD Theater starting Oct 4!!

http://images.sportcompactcarweb.com..._view_jump.jpg

Set your DVRs folks... the World Rally Championship is coming back to TV in High Definition! Discovery HD Theater will be broadcasting 1 hour highlight shows from the 2009 World Rally Championship starting at 8pm on Sunday, October 4th.

Oh, and ::Censor:: you, Speed Channel! :mrgreen:

I am so stoked about this....unfortunately I don't get Discovery HD. :'( I'd be more than happy to supply any fellow rally enthusiast willing to open up their home once a month with whatever alcoholic beverage(s) he or she wishes. Barring that, how about a Monthly Miata WRC meet at any sports bar showing the greatest spectacle in motorsports today. Hopefully it means they'll be easier to find online and I can download them.

Was fortunate enough to get both Petter Solberg's and Seb Loeb's autograph a few years ago at the Rally De Mexico.

I live somewhat near you, have HD, and have a HD DVR. We may be able to work out some sort of viewing party.

Hmm, Nevada eh. FM 35 to 548 has a turn or two worth taking, I'm listening...

I'm open to the idea for a trip to the Mexican Rally next year.

IIRC 08 was supposed to be the last year for the Mexican rally so we can go to Mexico and we can have a 'rally' but don't expect any official racing to happen. ;)

Not bad. It wasn't in 1080p, but it was still a pretty good highlight show. I would have liked to see more long in-car camera sequences, but not bad overall.

+1.

Anybody know if the UK version is longer or is it also cutdown to 1 hour with commercials?

It's on the Calender for March:

Looks like a 14 hour drive from Austin:

If we could get enough people it would probably be best to charter a bus and have some people that can speak fluent Spanish.
