Stage Notes
A rally-weekend companion for WRC fans that turns every stage into a living timeline — live split times, driver status, championship implications, and recovery news — without needing three browser tabs open.
World Rally Championship fans following drivers like Ogier, Rovanperä, and Evans
- Live stage-by-stage timing with push alerts when a favorite driver hits trouble or retires
- Driver health and status tracker that updates when crashes or hospital news break during a rally weekend
- Championship math: see exactly what each driver must score to clinch or be eliminated
- Personal 'follow list' so your favorite drivers always surface first, even across WRC2 and WRC Junior
Ogier's crash at Rally Finland put a nine-time champion in hospital mid-title-fight, and searches for his wife Andrea Kaiser spiked — fans are hungry for one reliable place to track what's happening to drivers they care about.
WRC hit 1.3B cumulative TV audience and 1.7B social impressions in 2024, and RallySupport/RallyLive Net show active third-party consumption, but rally is far more niche than F1 with a smaller hard-core paying base.WRC's Global Reach Soars to over 1 Billion Viewership ↗RallyLive Net - Live Rally Results & Stage Times ↗
Market is crowded: official WRC app, official Rally.TV streaming+timing app, RallyLive Net, and Rallysupport all already aggregate live split times, news and driver status — little obvious UX gap a third party can exploit without official data rights.WRC - World Rally Championship on the App Store ↗Rally TV Streaming and Live TV - App Store ↗Rallysupport WRC news ↗
WRC+ / Rally.TV subscriptions prove fans pay for live timing + video (multiple tiers per help docs, with Reddit users endorsing it as worth the cost), but a third-party companion faces a free official app and must compete on convenience, likely capping willingness to pay.Is WRC + subscription worth it? : r/WRC ↗New prices for WRC+ : r/WRC ↗
WRC shows multi-year growth in TV and social reach through 2024-2025, stable multi-make manufacturer involvement (Toyota, Hyundai, M-Sport/Ford), and a published multi-round calendar — but the series is still rebuilding vs. F1 and depends on a few star drivers retiring.WRC reaches global TV audience of 1.3B as 2025 social media growth explodes ↗
Live split times and stage timing come from official timing partners (Sportradar/WRC Promoter) — scraping RallyLive Net is fragile and an aggregator-only app without official data feed would be hard to differentiate and at legal/IP risk.RallyLive Net - Live Rally Results & Stage Times ↗Live TV | 24/7 Non-Stop Rally Channel | Rally.TV ↗
