Guess this goes in here as I can't see a WEC general TV thread.

From a UK perspective.

What is the best place to watch the WEC this coming week and going forward?

I believe there are three main options for online streaming.

Eurosport / Discovery+ subscription.
-£6.99 a month
-1080p 50hz quality?
-Showing the full race for this event but is
there any guarantee of future events? As I'm sure they've missed out chunks of the Spa 6 Hours in years gone by.
- Presumably no qualifying
- Covers Le Mans

Motorsport.tv
-£4.79 a month
-Unknown quality
-Presumably has all races and qualifying in full
- Doesn't cover Le Mans.
- Does have Super GT

The 'new' WEC service
- Can't find the price...
- Unknown quality but hearing it might be a lowly 720p 25hz going by the old service
- Presumably has all races and qualifying in full
- Covers Le Mans

So main questions if people know are the following:

- What's the quality of the streams of each service (resolution and framerate would be nice to know)

- Any comments on reliability. I've always found the Eurosport service superb for watching Le Mans, not seen good things about the WEC service and not seen anyone comment on the Motorsport.tv option.

Thanks.
