Rally Monte Carlo, preview:

Last year, Rally Monte Carlo and the IRC organisers brought the definitions of rally coverage one step forward by including their superb live coverage on Eurosport. This year, they’ll do it even better (as it seems) and cover almost the whole rally live. Just one stage (SS10) will be a little bit delayed. Here are the ways of following the rally…

Watch Rally Monte Carlo – even if you don’t have Eurosport in your TV!

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Eurosport are showing their commitment for the Intercontinental Rally Challenge with no less than 6h 15min of live television from the IRC season opener Rally Monte Carlo. Covering 51 countries, many people have the chance to see Eurosport – but at the same time many may miss it in their range of channels. However, if you’ve got an acceptable Internet connection it’s OK and should be no problem.

A few weeks ago I registered for the Eurosport Player – a Eurosport player where I can always watch Eurosport, Eurosport 2 and Eurosport News in my computer. I’ve connected my computer to the TV (this is of course optional) and oops… Now I can watch Eurosport at home on my TV, at work on my screen and anywhere – and it works great.

So, if you’re concerned about missing out on the drama from Monte Carlo or the action from this years WRC stages – go to Eurosport.com and register for the player – is cost’s a little, but you should get away with around 40€ a year which to me is quite affordable (it’s less than a ticket to Rally Norway).

And, no – I’m not paid by Eurosport to say this, I just like their commitment to the IRC and their Player service.

As a teaser – here are the TV times for Rally Monte Carlo (all times in CET):
