WRC+ gone down? from rally
World Rally Championship (WRC), as some of you may already know are series of rallies organised by FIA, the coverage for which is available at WRC+’s official website. Just last year, the WRC+ All Live was introduced through which users/subscribers could live stream the entire rally action.
But, a few hours back, the live coverage facility went down due to some technical issue, and the affected users took to different social media platforms bringing the matter to light.
The proliferating complaints quickly got reverted back with an official statement (through Twitter and Facebook) from WRC acknowledging and informing the affected users about an issue at their end.
We are currently experiencing technical issues with WRC+ All Live. We are working to solve them and hope to restore normal service as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Soon after, the All Live service restored back to action for most of the users. But looks like things didn’t stay in place for long. Going by the latest reports on Twitter All Live has gone down again and is throwing error. Here are some of the recently posted complaints:

A paid service going down back to back with in a span of 24 hours has apparently left a bad taste in the mouth of the subscribers. Is WRC+ All Live not working for you too? Drop a comment.
