No firm indication at this point as to whether there will be an official ACO stream - via Dailymotion or what ever alternative.

Audi.tv states live coverage for the entire race duration, though (this should be the global feed).

Good to hear. Are you travelling alone? You might hook up to our party if you like.

Think I must have missed this one but interesting to see Romain Ianetta pop up as third driver for Status.

Wonder if Liuzzi will surface for Lotus tomorrow in practice?

The FIA WEC website is online just in time for Spa: http://www.fiawec.com/

TF110 · 3 May 2012, 08:19 (Ref:3068629)

Is there live streaming or is it just timing and scoring?

Thursday paddock notes on DSC

gwyllion · 3 May 2012, 09:47 (Ref:3068669)

The first practice session has just started: http://live.fiawec.com/

alexkiller8 · 3 May 2012, 09:53 (Ref:3068672)

hoping that on http://live.fiawec.com/ there will be the streaming of qualifying and race, no clue about this for now

Odd that in DSC's photos that one of the Ultra R18s seems to be sporting a #1 decal on it--all Audis running the "Audi Ultra" paint colors, or is the glare from the shoplights on the R18 DSC photographed. It could only be 2 numbers--a #1 or maybe a #4.

Pretty sure that's a #3.

What does the "out" mean on the WEC T&S display? Out of session, or out as in out lap?

EDIT: Seems that T&S answered my question as a couple of the "out" cars are now listed as running.

EverOne · 3 May 2012, 10:16 (Ref:3068683)

I only can see the 4 o 5 first pictures on DSC link

gwyllion · 3 May 2012, 10:17 (Ref:3068685)

I guess it means "out lap".

I noticed this as well. At first I could see up to the pictures of the Dome and then a bit later these disappeared.

chernaudi · 3 May 2012, 10:21 (Ref:3068688)

It seems that they were supposed to have photos of all the R18s to demonstrate what they're talking about with the colored LED outlines around the headlights, but for a while only the #3 (?) showed up, but now it seems that below a certain point, all the photos are dead links.

And I know that it's early days, but it seems that the e-tron doesn't have a huge edge over the Ultra, which seems to go against what we know from the Sebring test where the Ultra was slower by several tenths of a second a lap--track layout negating the e-tron's advantage, this just being early on, or could Audi be sandbagging with the hybrid cars to stall off the arguments that other have ready for them and Toyota?

gwyllion · 3 May 2012, 10:25 (Ref:3068689)

Yes, I saw a picture with blue LED lighting, when I posted the link.

chernaudi · 3 May 2012, 10:32 (Ref:3068692)

Not even that photo shows up now--after you get past the Lotus photos, they're all broken links.

It doesn't matter which is faster, Audi will orchestrate it so that the hybrid wins no matter what. Anyone thinking that the hybrid vs TDI "battle" is for real doesn't understand how the game is played

Petrol P1 field miles away, *acts surprised*. Rebellion vs Pesca vs HPD vs Oak will be nice though

I think they marked a car "Out" when driver change, look now at #1 Audi, Marcel in the car now

alexkiller8 · 3 May 2012, 10:48 (Ref:3068707)

spa is a fast track, according to fia site, there are just 5 brake points where the hybrid is activated, so the e-tron cars just will have a better acceleration after la source, les combes, bruxelles, campus and the last chicane... like le mans this track is not the best to show the hybrid real potentials!
Nice to see the dome 102.5 just 0.4 seconds slower than the best lola rebellion and more than a second faster than the arx-03a, maybe we will see some surprise tomorrow.

chernaudi · 3 May 2012, 10:52 (Ref:3068710)

Update on the DSC photos--after the Lotus stuff, it's still broken links, but there's one of the TS030 and one of a R18 and the TS030 that have been added.

Fogelhund · 3 May 2012, 10:53 (Ref:3068712)

Indeed, the Dome pace is impressive, given they are still fairly new with the car. The HPD's pace is disappointing so far, but it is early days.
