I couldn't use race director because my stupid internet was going very slow. I have broadband but it only goes fast for a week then goes slower than a snail. It had to go snail pace at the worse posible time.

Qualifying results were crap anyway.

9th J. Wilson
13th C. da Matta
18th M. Marshall

Jeremy Shaw drives me nutz during the qualifying. If he would only be a real commentator that would be better.

Nelson Philippe continues in the top 5. What happened?

Race Director is pretty good for a year at that price, I get to see the practice 3 & 4 and qualifying here in the UK.

Cheap for a years viewing, as Eurosport don't cover that aspect of the Champcars.

Good value for me anyway.

well Im already for the race today but sadly this isnt going to be a very good one for me.

my broadband connection is down and im using a dial up back up I have at the moment and its terribly slow.

Im certain race director is not going to work very well this way.

grrrrr they could have waited 4 or 5 hours from now before having a problem , then it wouldnt be a problem for me

Mosport67 · 31 Jul 2005, 20:52 (Ref:1368494)

Is ir working for you right now. I can't get any video or audio

marcus · 31 Jul 2005, 21:00 (Ref:1368501)

well thankfully my broadband connection is back up again

the pace laps are underway , talk about making by the skin of your teeth

and yep I have full video and audio and a constant stream

marcus · 31 Jul 2005, 21:13 (Ref:1368516)

actually its pretty jumpy for me today

Mosport67 · 31 Jul 2005, 21:16 (Ref:1368520)

I tried under my account (we paid for my wife's) I got it to work for awhile but I keep getting the "Blue Men" commercial. I can't get radio to work at all.

Kidzer · 31 Jul 2005, 21:21 (Ref:1368523)

I can't get anything to work, ill try IE instead of Firefox and see how that goes

Kidzer · 31 Jul 2005, 21:28 (Ref:1368533)

Works with IE

Edit: Well, infact - no it doesnt, jumpy as hell

luke · 31 Jul 2005, 22:16 (Ref:1368577)

I take it when you say 'jumpy' you jumpy you eman has to re-buffer every few seconds? It is like that for most people lately including me I'm affraid.

luke · 31 Jul 2005, 22:18 (Ref:1368578)

This is weird it now does the stupid this content is currently unavalible!!! for the normal feed!!!!

marcus · 31 Jul 2005, 22:21 (Ref:1368580)

working perfect for me now

does anyone have the issue of the session in progress info is always a fair bit ahead of the video ?

luke · 31 Jul 2005, 22:24 (Ref:1368582)

Marcus that is because RD is about 20 seconds behind the real live footage. So you find out before things happen...

marcus · 31 Jul 2005, 22:30 (Ref:1368588)

Kind of annoying sometimes

Jordi · 1 Aug 2005, 08:58 (Ref:1368846)

It was the first time I watched Race Director and it worked very well. It's true that the leaderboard and the radio are well ahead of what you see on screen, but it's better that than nothing.

I can cope with Oriol being yelled to leave the pits while I see him just entering the pitlane...

Mosport67 · 1 Aug 2005, 15:10 (Ref:1369268)

I was very disappointed in Race Director yesterday. It worked only briefly on our free account and not at all on the one we paid for.

Liz · 2 Aug 2005, 12:07 (Ref:1370073)

Mine worked perfectly. I am delighted that they switch to the international feed during ad breaks (and in Canada, breaks for TSN to enlighten us about baseball, hockey and golf!) I hope we get to the time when we can have the press conferences and maybe a pre-race show too. But definitely the pressies. They are usually very funny.

macdaddy · 23 Aug 2005, 21:32 (Ref:1389732)

Reviving an old thread, for no real reason whatsoever...

But I suddenly find myself without cable-TV, and I can only tune in two (fuzzy) stations. So now's the time to get RaceDirector.

But I've got to wait three days, until the 25th. That way, a one-month sub will cover both Montreal and Vegas. And then I have to wait for a short bit, and resubscribe on October 7 to cover the remaining three races.

I can't wait to see Denver!

But in figuring this out, I was reminded of a couple of long gaps that we have facing us in the schedule. Four weeks between Montreal and Vegas, three more between then and S.Korea.

And so enjoy Montreal! There's only gonna be one race in the following seven weeks!

Liz · 24 Aug 2005, 00:07 (Ref:1389779)

Good thing, too; I have two flyaway races in the ALMS!

But I'm really looking forward to Montreal, although I have found out that the big party is Thursday night, so the out of towners can't attend. Drat.
