So you’ve got the best of both worlds there, world class commentary, with the right pictures to boot

Even the endless rabbiting on at the moment makes me feel a little closer to being there, i will not complain about it next year, RLM is an enourmous part the the experience for us regulars.

State of affairs for folks expecting/debating to use Motortrend on demand:
Stream quality for currently live and currently red flagged FP2 is good. I believe similar to last year the practice and qualifying session use WEC app comms with Goodwin, McNish, etc, but the race will be Eurosport comms, potentially with Shirt breaks and Tom being awkward. For this session there are 6 onboards: 1 Rebellion (was working early on in the session even while in the garage), both Toyotas, 3 P2s (21, 38, 50). Curiously, there are 4 options for what appears to be a decent looking Live timing - P1, P2, GTE-Pro and Am. P1 and P2 feeds appear similar, just the top 30 cars: GTE Pro shows P1 and P2 Classes split in running order, GTE Am appears dead I will note you can't scroll down. So the wec with extention may end up a better timing source. For the actual race, two items are listed so far: Hovering on the first feed shows "Eurosport" in the address preview in the browser, and just "Bonus World Feed" for the second. Not sure what that is. Hopefully ambient sounds? All streams, onboards, and timing screens can be paused to help with syncing. For people who haven't tried the platform, it's been one of the most solid platforms for me over the last year. It casts to chromecast really well. I think there's usually a free two week trial for new users. (credit card required and you'll need to remember to cancel. I used to just make a new email address for individual WEC races, but jumped on a $24 annual special last December, it's usually $60. Doesn't hurt they currently have 98% of all Top Gear programming. I've found it a worthwhile service so far. Last edited by seanyb505; 17 Sep 2020 at 14:18. |

I've just had to buy another subscription to Eurosport Player. Now I've got adverts.

In fairness, there wasn’t in qualifying last year. Just wondering if we had any news.

Yes both my free eurosport on Virgin now and on sky up to last week had adverts, but it is free so can put up with that

I have uninterrupted on Eurosport. Not a single ad..... As I have wholly failed to set up the WEC/ACO app for free, I'm pleased I spent less than the price of a couple of soft drinks at the circuit on a month's worth of Eurosport.....

Uninterrupted on Eurosport should be without comms (the audio is "natural sound) but somehow they've got the WEC App feed on there again. Was the same last year. Ambient sound only makes syncing and enjoying RLM much better, as it was in 2018
Lack of breaks is excellent, the quality too, as usual. |

The Eurosport feed is actually well behind the reality, as proved by the timing....

Sadly TV direction is horrible again. I've given up hope that WEC will ever get that right.

I just turned in with the Motor Trend Roku app and it is working excellent! Noticed other options for streaming to that I'll try to explore over the course of the rest of the afternoon of "work"
