There is Nascar but Speed only shows the Sprint Cup qualifying during the race window.

Deleted · 9 Jun 2012, 16:30 (Ref:3088066)

Btw, Speed's 2012 team:

Commentary / Analysts
Leigh Diffey
Calvin Fish
Dorsey Schraider
Bob Varsha
David Hobbs
Scott Pruett

Pit lane
Jamie Howe
Brian Till
Greg Creamer
Justin Bell
Andrew Marriott

Looking forward to hearing them on my second re-watch. Scott "hi to my family" Pruett can be a bit annoying at times but otherwise it's all quality

alexkiller8 · 9 Jun 2012, 22:12 (Ref:3088245)

on audi.tv there is this advice:

Die 24 stunden von le mans live aus dem cockpit der vier audir18. 16 Juni 2012 ab 15 uhr.

Could someone translate? i didn't use google translater because the odd and ungrammatical tradution creates only confusion.
That cockpit scares me a bit, hope that won't be just a camera car streaming.

Apparently the ACO/FIA have sold Eurosport the exclusive (in Europe) right to sell the monthly subscription to its 'player', to Le Mans fans so that they could watch that rather poor quality feed for a couple of days.

I just tried the test video, it says the current streaming is 1800kbps, but it looks like crap even compared to ALMS streaming.

Anyone know if Speed are still showing their coverage online? Have vague memories of watching it online a few years ago. So with no ONE coverage here in Australia (not amused) and Audi feed restricted to incar this and some other unofficial streams might be the only way of me watching the race.

I'll be listening to RLM thank god but some video would be nice.

The online streaming has always covered only the hours when the channel is off the air, so this schedule should answer the question: http://tentenths.com/forum/showpost....4&postcount=26

I think main reason why even ACO itself can't stream the race is that the exclusive tv deal with Eurosport predates WEC.

mmm ok, if i get a thing free i don't complain about quaility! that german sentence gives some clue if audi.tv will stream eurosport+r18on board camera or will be just a 24H of on board ?

edit. nevermind doing a fast search i've been able to find a good quality and free stream of eurosport, currently is streamed live the supersport or someother support bike race of the superbike weekend in misano. Hope is rising in me, no doubts that there will be a lot of these kind of channels available for the 24h of le mans, hope to find something usefull for the qualifying too.

deggis · 10 Jun 2012, 10:05 (Ref:3088384)

1. confirmation of two hours of streaming 2. Corvette onboard streams

Quote:

"In addition to the fully produced, two hours of live streaming race coverage on SPEED.com, two live Corvette Racing in-car cameras are also available throughout the weekend, along with a camera placed in the General Motors pit lane. To enjoy the two-screen experience, log onto speedtv.com/corvette."

Yeah, that was explained last week during the Test day on the RadioLeMans forum. Eurosport have an exclusive contract for Le Mans. So whilst MotorsTV have covered the WEC, they won't cover Le Mans, and there will be no live streaming on the series website.
One would hope that when the contract runs out - this won't happen again

That was the plan during the race regardless of coverage. I really enjoy 10ths chat. Good times.

ArnageWRC · 11 Jun 2012, 14:06 (Ref:3089037)

Looking at the Midweek Motorsport page on Facebook, and Hindy has suggested that there was very nearly 14 hours of coverage on ITV4...both the channel and sponsors were keen. Sadly, however, it was blocked.....by the current exclusive rights holders. The sooner they lose the rights the better....

Craner Curves · 11 Jun 2012, 18:41 (Ref:3089162)

I'm sure Sky would be interested as well, with the Brundle tie-in.

Sooner they lose the exclusive rights the better. What other options there are really? Motorstv? Great for the very small amount of people who have it, but its reach and availability is nothing compared to Eurosport.

I really doubt small countries' channels (excluding maybe like Holland & Denmark) are interested so a big European-wide channel deal is needed.

ITV showing that much interest is a good sign...

Streaming! There's an old saying where I live 'I can't eat them all, but I'll bite every single one'. That seems to be Eurosport's motto. Raking up as many sports as possible without being able to cover them properly. Even THE blue-ribbon even is being shuffled around between to channels every year! Many people that have Eurosport don't have Eurosport2. Most don't have either, now includes myself. Not that ever watched it apart from 1 weekend in June.

There's a recent piece on Joe Saward's blog about the new trend of F1 moving to pay per view and how it can influence the sponsorship situation in the longer run.

The least WEC needs is to lose eyeballs because ACO made a big mistake a few years ago. While FOM is just being greedy, because they do rake millions selling rights, ACO/FIA are just being plain silly. They don't have that much to sell yet, or that many to sell to.

Eurosport have all these rights, but not enough channels to show them. Why haven't they got interactive channels, like Sky/BBC have. The last 2 weeks have been a joke - E1, E2, EHD all with tennis....everything else has fitted around - in highlight form; WTCC, MotoGP, Cycling, etc
What the WEC needs is some FTA coverage...I believe there is a gap for another International Motorsport.....and Sportscars is going in the right direction.

Remember, when the Eurosport deal was made (or renewed...?), ACO didn't stream anything yet and there was no WEC yet. I see it more as an unfortunate coincidence.

deggis · 12 Jun 2012, 13:22 (Ref:3089547)

Quote:

Fans will be able to follow the progress of car #22 live throughout the 24 hours of racing from a camera mounted on the front of the team’s Honda HPD-ARX-03a.

Interspersing the coverage will be live interviews from the pit lane with World Series by Renault pit lane reporter, Gemma Scott, to give a complete insight of JRM’s debut Le Mans 24 Hours race progress. Gemma will be catching up with the drivers after each stint, mechanics as they follow the race in the garage, plus following any news stories live from the pit wall with insights from chief engineer, Nigel Stepney, and team owner, James Rumsey.

Coverage will start immediately before the start of the race at 15:00hrs CET on Saturday 16 June and finish just after the conclusion of the race at 15:00hrs CET Sunday 17 June.

The stream will also be shown on http://www.crash.net and http://www.speedhunters.com

The bottom line is that it's now easy for me get my friends to start watching ALMS, now that it doesn't involve a lot of effort, like it used to. Actually it was almost impossible here. I know, Ukrainian viewers are probably irrelevant to ALMS, but WEC sponsors and OEM are probably interested in increasing viewership globally.

Are your friends already used to watching (other) sports via streams? And are they already familiar with the series? The average viewer probably isn't...

And don't get me wrong - my watching is totally relying on streams. I could get both Eurosports via cable, but too expensive for just one weekend.
