How did you watch it on CH4 when Dave and Eurosport UK have the broadcast rights in the UK?
This year is a bit quiet. A couple of manufacturers have dropped out to do development for next year as there's some rule changes coming up. Subaru, for example, had become quite uncompetitive and Petta didn't have a good year last year which didn't really help them when they launched their new 09 car. In addition to that, there are some rounds not being run as they're on a two yearly cycle but a couple of new ones, such as Poland, have popped up to take their place. One good thing to come out of it is that Rally GB is a few weeks earlier.
