Ralio returns tomorrow
publication date: Aug 24, 2011
Ralïo+
returns for its seventh series on Thursday, making S4C the only
place on British terrestrial television where rally fans can see the FIA World
Rally Championship on a non-pay per view channel.
Ralïo+
is produced in Llanelli, west Wales, by POP1 Television, part of the transatlantic
company Tinopolis Group. Presenters Lowri Morgan, Emyr Penlan
with Howard Davies and commentator Wyn Gruffydd will host the 16 x 30
minute series, which will be broadcast each Thursday, starting at 2130
hours. |  | Since
it first appeared on our screens in 2004, Ralïo as it was originally entitled
has developed its motorsport coverage to include far more than just the
WRC, continually branching out into new areas of motorsport.
The new series
will feature the biggest cross-section of motorsport ever, with the likes
of
motocross, ‘bike enduros, autograss and circuit racing added to the show - which
is reflected in the programme's title, Ralïo+.
Rallying
remains at the heart of Ralïo+, with highlights from the British Rally Championship
and the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, as well as regional Welsh
rallies, featured alongside the WRC.
A
large outside broadcast unit will follow this year's Wales Rally GB 11
to 13 November, with Ralïo+ coming live from the service park each night
to give
the very latest news, action footage and expert analysis from the final
round
of this year's WRC. It will also broadcast the Power Stage live - and
with
three points awarded for the fastest driver, the final stage of the 2011
WRC
could witness the crowning of a world champion, live on S4C.
A
full round up of Wales Rally GB, plus all the week's other motorsport news, will
be broadcast on the final Ralïo+ programme of 2011 on Wednesday 16 November.
Lowri
Morgan said, "Welsh fans are the best! They are prepared to go anywhere and
brave any kind of weather conditions to watch their sport and with us travelling
over the country every weekend with two or three crews filming in different
locations, it's great to be a part of the sport's wonderful camaraderie. It's
completely different to any other sport; it's just like one big family!" | | |
