Fanvision for 2012
Does anyone know if they already announced something for next year or are they letting us down again like they did this year? Maybe it's up to us fans to pressure them early into making a deal with the ACO for next year?

They haven't announced anything. I don't actually think it's fair to say they let us down this year given the company change. It does sound like they genuinely tried to send units to Le Mans but, for reasons (cost?) I don't entirely understand, it wasn't viable. In August they posted something on twitter thanking their followers or something similar. I took that opportunity to post: Quote:

The availability of fan vision will largely decide whether I will attend the race next year so I hope they pull it off!

I don't want to sound like a total noob, but what exactly is FanVision?

portable tv like device which has multiple streams of the race. one main videostream with the tv stream and other streams with onboard cameras. There also is a way to see the current standings. IE who is leading and who is second etc.

Most certainly hope it will be available in 2012. We had a Kangaroo in 2010 and it was great fun.

I was thinking the same. I was expecting that without it I'd miss large amounts of the action but that really wasn't the case.

I missed it to but radio le mans really kept me up to date. They are just so easy to take them with you for a walk along the circuit without having to rely on the videoscreens.

Yeah I imagine it gives you a lot more freedom. I was a bit gutted because we went to get the shuttle bus and missed the demise of the lead Vette where we had been standing minutes earlier. Would have been perfect for something like that.

It was a welcome addition to my stay, I wouldn't shed a tear if it is not available. On the other hand if it comes back I will surely rent one again.

I just hope they will extend the range a bit more. In 2008 I was in Beausjesour and that was just out of range. I don't know what experience others had but I imagine Tertre Rouge was also out of range?

It really would need to cover all the campsites and the back of the circuit, i.e. Mulsanne and Arnage and Indianapolis.

Absolutely, if you're in sight of a big screen, you're probably not going to need it - although you do have the flexibility of video/live timing as you want it.

comments appearing on other forums that fanvision have confirmed that they will not be at le mans 2012, shame but not unexpected

After doing without it last year, I must admit I hadn't really thought about it again. We'll survive well enough without.
