Man, I love the reporting style of that era of rallying (as well as the organisation and the character of the events, and the cars). Myself, I got satellite TV only about two years later, but I can still remember the rally coverage on the Eurosport and on the ScreenSport channels. The reports were sizeable -- 30 minutes, including the commercials -- narrated in a natural way from paper notes that were written and read by motorsports enthusiast. All the major facts were covered, all the essential available footage was included. Granted, onboards were very scarce, and a lot of the crucial stuff happened where there was no camera to capture it. But it still felt much more involving that most of today's coverage, which comes out as if you were not watching real developments, but rather a scripted spectacle: the narrative is polished to perfection and leads in events that are soon demonstrated to you with appropriate video clips. There's no place for a "mundane" image of cars simply tackling corners, so that you'd feel as if you were watching the rally from a good vantage point on the roadside. Being a Pole, I also massively appreciate this highlight show as a chance to see our hero rally-driver Marian Bublewicz on one of the events of his very successful ERC campaign in 1992, which brought him the 2nd place overall in the standings at the season's end. Bublewicz was a master of resource-management, discipline, team work and dedication, and it was amazing what he was able to achieve running on a very limited budget and with a car basically built in a private repair-garage he was running.
