Development

Since 2014, the WRC+ subscription OTT service was providing a couple of live stages per event, including the Power Stage at the end of each rally. With the introduction of WRC+ ALL Live in 2018, for the first time in the championship's history, every special stage from each round was shown as it happens, allowing the fans to follow the FIA World Rally Championship much better in 2018.[3][4] The first rally that streamed all stages live was Rally Monte Carlo on January 25, 2018.[5][6]

WRC plus service plans are divided into two price tiers; the lowest includes limited access to the live coverage and the highest, allows access to all live coverage produced during rally event. Both are available on a monthly or yearly basis.[7]

In January 19th, 2019, WRC+ ALL LIVE, launched live coverage with live commentary in Spanish for all live stages.[8]
