Hopefully I can check some of this out.  I'm only familiar with one of the teams.  Conrad Motorsports.  From what I recall they use to race in IMSA back in dark days when IMSA was not IMSA, but was Professional Sportscar.  I think they still make it to LeMans from time to time.

I'm kinda surprised Flying Lizard is not registered.  I thought they run the majority of the professional 24 hour races.

Anyways thanks for the heads up.  :)

Also for Le Mans 60 cars have been invited including 4 Ford GTs and 22 LMP2s

I cast the race from my phone which had no commercials and the guys from Radio Le Mans announcing. Then used my iPad to switch between the different in car cams and live timing. It was joyous. The only thing that could have made it better would have been a tighter race.

On to Le Mans!

Buying the online broadcast is worth every penny.  My laptop has HDMI support so I just plugged it into my tv and watched the race.  Especially nice that they allow you to steam on 5 devices at once.

I've got a second tv that uses a version of the android OS. I'll have to see if I can download the app and run it straight off the tv some time before the 24h.


Also, did the #5 Toyota complete the last lap?  They were trying to run on battery alone after losing the engine to get what points they could.

According to the WEC web site practice is timing and scoring only, no video.  Qualifying and race are video broadcast.  Qualifying starts on the 15th I think and runs a couple of days.

Edit: I am cornfused though.  I week ago I could still watch the entire Spa race.  Now I can't and it says I gotta pay.  Does this mean if I don't watch it live I don't get to see it all unless I pay again???

I'm not sure about the app but I did see the restore button and was wondering what it was for.  I may give that a try or delete and re-install.

My tablet seems to be working fine now.  Only problem is it seems to have issues streaming live broadcasts, which is strange considering it can do prerecorded just fine.

I found a year old redit thread with a support email. I sent off a query and got a reply (not sure how much info I want to give if they ask) asking what problem I'm having.

My iphone and ipad are still functioning, I'm logged in on both and can watch replays of Q1, Q2 and Q3. Along with previous race replays. So if nothing is resolved for website by tonight it will not be a big deal.

My fingers are crossed they have enough bandwidth for tomorrow morning. I'm a bit worried. For me this started with the first Le Mans practice sessions. I fear either their setup is sort of broken or weak. Or worse they were hacked and still compromised.

So no joy on the PC. It will be ok so long as the iPhone and iPad stay connected. I only need one to cast, but I like to cast from the phone and use pad as second screen.

I plan on making it up for the start and the first 4 hours, then I have to go for awhile and pick it back up around hour 9 or 10. :)
Title: Re: WEC

Well I am able to cast warm up from phone and select different cars and timing on the pad.

It took a bit for it to start playing, but it has been solid since starting. So good news. If it works the same in just under 6 hours I will be happy.

Still no PC access though. Oh well.
