so they could've scouted the trail ahead and tell how it'll be.
Josh's crew could've done that with the van too so I see no difference between them other than the fact that Lael's crew were made to adhere to a bunch of requests like tracking whereas no one gave a shit about Josh's filming.

Yeah, though the difficult parts might not be drivable on a van. Anyway, Josh's crew probably wasn't asked to have trackers etc. because no-one knew they were coming? That's not really a classy way to do it in this scenario either.
In TCR the manual says you need to tell the organizer in advance if you're planning to have a media crew, otherwise there's trouble.

I read Josh and his film crew didn't ask or say anything about their plans before the race. Lael did and most of the debate was had before the race, when they announced it.
Josh's crew drove a van to meet him in some spots on the route. Lael's crew were on e-bikes riding back and forth on the race route, so they could've scouted the trail ahead and tell how it'll be.
