LM24 Kangaroo TV at Le Mans - Page 5

undoz · 18 Jun 2009, 13:10 (Ref:2485904)

There were two LCDs showing the leader board inside the AUDI shop during qualy and they attracted quite a crowd. I thought it was a pretty cool idea. Don't know if they did the same during the race, or if they were open all night.

It would be nice to install some TVs in some points around the track with leader boards. They don't need to have huge screens.. I don't think it would be a very expensive thing to do.

Had an email from the very nice people at Kangaroo TV offering a 5 euro discount as reward for completing their survey a few months back. The even better news is that on the back of the feedback from the survey, they have decided to cut the price for Le Mans from the 80 euros they were asking in 2009 to a far more agreeable 55 euros in 2010. With my 5 euro discount, that's just 50 euros.

By my reckoning, a unit shared between Ayse, the third member of our little group and myself would cost a very reasonable £15 each. At that price, it's definitely food for thought........

At €50/55 a Kangaroo suddenly becomes a distinctly viable proposition. I still find the concept of going to a race to watch it on television slightly absurd, but catching up with live timing and scoring is appealing, and it's hard to argue with the fairly ringing endorsements from those that have used one.

The Badger · 6 Mar 2010, 17:38 (Ref:2646188)

Yep , I got that email too .

Im certainly going to do it again , especially at that new price .

Nice to see something getting cheaper in this day and age !!!

Steve Tarrant · 6 Mar 2010, 17:39 (Ref:2646189)

If only they could get it working out at Mulsanne and Arnage!!!!! These are the areas away from scoreboards and the like, where the information is most needed to keep track of things.

AstonGeoff · 7 Mar 2010, 09:36 (Ref:2646519)

If you want just the live timing then it might work out cheaper to get it off the internet on a mobile phone, even with the exhorbitant mobile costs.

If the tv bit only works close to the central village area of the circuit it's not much cop away from there and isn't that the real need, to be able to follow whats happening when you are not at the circuit?

I'll stick with RLM, and see how the live timing works out on my crackberry, but I can see that if you can split the cost between a number of that it does become a viable proposition.

Done, and you get tenure for the start of the race since Tony and I will have seats opposite a big screen as well as access to live timing in the bar behind T17.

**Aysedasi** · 7 Mar 2010, 11:12 (Ref:2646551)

You're a star!

Can I then dash off and put it on Ebay......?

Agree re live timing on a mobile - especially if the likes of Vodafone waive their roaming charges like they did last year. The one big downside is I've found my 3G BlackBerry drains its battery depressingly quickly, and if it's also got to function as a phone then there are a few arguments against using it. It's the one time it's almost worth digging out an older 2/2.5G handset, or, being pragmatic, figuring that the 50 Euros with having the video and not having to worry about recharging batteries becomes worth it.

Absolutely, provided we use your credit card to cover the 250 euros they require to guarantee against loss or damage to the unit.

Ah.... Possibly not then......

GT6 · 8 Mar 2010, 10:11 (Ref:2647299)

I got the same e mail Eur 50 seems very reasonable and I am hoping my little group will be happy to share the cost, not much point all ahving one.

Hi guys,

Here is a link to the 2010 coverage map.

http://kangaroo.tv/kangaroo-sports/K...e_map_2010.pdf

Inside the covered zone you are guaranteed to receive coverage. Outside of that you may still get coverage but we can't promise good quality. That said, I do have emails from people who said they used it all weekend at Porsche Curves with no problem...they sent pics to prove it.

Cheers
Craig

p.s. The goal is to have coverage at Arnage and Mulsanne for 2011.

The Badger · 16 Mar 2010, 17:55 (Ref:2653639)

Im having 2 of them this year for that price , seriously . A portable one for me and one stationed at the campsite for all the rest of us .

ApexRacer · 18 Mar 2010, 17:54 (Ref:2655011)

Can someone please post the promo code you're referring to? At 50EUR, i'm definitely in. My friend had one last year, it was terrific.

Sorry, but unless Kangaroo TV decide to do so themselves, I think it would be wrong to post the discount code on a public forum. It was offered as a 'thank you' to those who took the time to offer feedback to Kangaroo TV by completing their survey and was sent to those individuals by personal email.

AllonFS · 19 Mar 2010, 10:36 (Ref:2655466)

Craig

Pleeeease do get coverage to Arnage for next year! We always camp there and being away from the grandstand area, this little thing would be fantastic for us. At present it just isn't worth as over half our race is spent at Arnage. Also the new price is a lot more sensible, especially when shared between a few of us.
