In the following six Saturday evenings on the channel TV6 it will be possible to see the reviews of the FIA European Rally Championship (ERC) season and four concluding stages. All broadcasts will start at 22.05 and on the channel TV6 will continue the topics related with cars started by Top Gear Australia and Auto News. The first broadcast will be transmitted on 2nd November and it will cover the review of the 1st part of the ERC season 2013, including the round hosted in Latvia – Rally Liepāja-Ventspils.
„Successful co-operation with the TV6 has allowed to prepare surprise for rally fans and over the final weeks of the year to telecast in Latvian six broadcasts on the ERC events. For spectators this will be a great possibility to have wider insight in the Championship in the state language, to get acquainted with drivers and teams, as well as to evaluate rally beyond the Latvian borders. I hope that these broadcasts will facilitate popularity of rally in Latvia,” says the organizer of Rally Liepāja Raimonds Strokšs.
„The European Rally Championship is the most significant European rally. On February 2013 for the first time in the Baltic States Raimonds Strokšs and his team brought the event of such a scale to Latvia, and beyond doubt this is the major motorsports event in Latvia this year. The channel TV6 is truly proud that it will be possible to broadcast the reviews of the conclusion of this season – six in total. First of them will be the Championship mid-season review covering also the round spend in Latvia,” Toms Circenis, the producer of the TV3 Latvia sports broadcasts and Viasat Sport Baltic programme director.
