Live what? What what?

You should've linked it here earlier

It's all good, tiger... now I know about it

Ha, but you're the MOARSTREAMZPLZ king. I thought you knew?!?!

It really is a great move by them. It looks like it's blocked in countries that have TV deals in place, but the rest of the world can get full access on youtube (in English to boot). They're looking to expand the formula, so it does make a lot of sense to get more countries watching.

Like Tyler said, I fullscreen that puppy on my TV, and I'm good to go.


Edmond Dantes, you still on for the 24hr thread?

I love what DTM is doing to make the series available. I don't have to worry about finding a live stream or torrent. Just pop up the YouTube vid on my bigscreen and watch. I need to grab the V8 Supercars from this past weekend. Mustn't slack off!

Yeah, it's pretty amazing. V8's could take a page from that. Charging internationally for online for such a local series is a mistake I think. Charge Australians, fair enough, we can watch free on TV, but when they are trying to get interest going in countries with no live coverage making people pay seems like a silly way to do it.

[Deadman]

Qualifying for Le Mans has started. Eurosport 1 in the UK.

 

[TylerD]

Porsche curves on board a P1 is a good thing.

 

[Addnan]

Almost forgot!

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Not that qualifying means much in a 24-hr race, but 3:22 by Duval in the #2 Audi is impressive, but then he's no stranger to running fast laps at La Sarthe. Wonder how much harder they'll push tomorrow, if they do at all.

Toyota had better hope the R18s really can only go 9-10 laps per tank this year, since they sure don't look like they're going to win on pace.

I think I might've already subscribed to that channel, just didn't know they did full, live streams of the races. I noticed a bunch under my subs on YT from "DTM", just no actual streams.

Fucking oath. But given they use the same app as the F1 for live timing (at a similar price), I'm guessing the V8 execs prefer ripping off their audience rather than assisting them.

Qualifying for Le Mans has started. Eurosport 1 in the UK.

So that's this weekend, yes? IS there a YT live stream of the qualis?

Edit: I guess this is it?

Edit #2: Maybe not... only seems to show a 1:18 trailer of it :/ I guess this is the official streaming site: http://www.lemans-tv.com/

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Together at last: Toyota TS010, TS020 and TS030

It's easy to forget how long Toyota has been trying for a win at Le Mans. It would be wonderful to see their efforts rewarded atop the podium this year, and while that seems rather unlikely in the face of the Audi juggernaut, they have certainly fielded some amazing machinery over the years.

 

[Shaneus]

Did the GT-One ever have anything to do with the 24hr endurance races like Le Mans and Nurburgring? It obviously looks like it has LMP-1 influences, but I don't know if it was ever used in that regard.

It was built for Le Mans through and through, and although it was initially entered as a GT1, (thanks to some loopholes in the regulations), it was essentially a purebred prototype that required little modification to meet the regs for the new LM-GTP prototype class.

Losing Le Mans in 1999 to the BMW V12 LMR in the final hour is definitely "the one that got away" from Toyota, and one they'd surely love to put behind them.

 

[Dave_6]

Looks like the GTE-Pro class could be the best it has been in quite a while. Too bad BMW isn't in it again Any idea why they don't race in this anymore?

 

[Hackbert]

maybe because their newly love for the DTM since last year? just a guess so.. and yeah, too bad i will miss the 24h start of the race, but will join you guys watching trough the night

 

[TylerD]

Someone needs to get up the LM 24 OT.

edit:

Le Mans is just around the corner. A separate thread this year or not? If so, I'll do it again for third year in a row.

Paging Mr. Dantes, paging Mr. Dantes.

I am on-call this weekend and praying it is slow so I can watch it in all its glory.

Fantastic, thanks for that. Always seems like the Japanese never seem to make inroads into any significant, European-dominated motorsport (particularly this and even F1). Lost their grip on WRC as well, sadly... but that's far from what it used to be.

What time is everything meant to start this weekend? GMT if possible (or Australian time if you're generous ). I'll have to hunt for a viable stream as well... few years back there was a promo deal on the 360 for free pay-TV for a month which included Eurosport (timed perfectly!) but I haven't been able to find a good, reliable stream since.

Preferably one with commentary, obviously.

 

[dubc35]

Currently watching the Deltawing documentary, would love to have seen it back this year.

 

[Hackbert]

i really really hope, that Toyota can challenge the Audi beasts. I love the R18s, but a real race like 2011 (i think) would be great

 

[MoGamesXNA]

Is there anyway to stream the LeMans 24 Hours this year?

In the lead up to the race I stumbled across this video:
Flat Out In a Le Mans Winning Porsche 962 - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS

http://youtu.be/PZxC-knQmkM

It's worth a watch just for the sound of it but it goes into some great details behind the engineering of the car too.

It should be up on live.fiawec.com (official World Endurance Championship website BTW).

Kubica leading with a big margin in WRC-2 again this weekend. I'd love for him to kick ass in WRC-1 next year or something.

 

[Seanspeed]

I've been loving DTM's youtube channel. Live qually and races, rebroadcasts, a bunch of terrific extended onboards like this one of Ekstrom at Lausitz.

I'm sure I got the heads up from one of you guys, so thanks for that.

Its definitely been pretty awesome.

Holy shit... Australia actually coming through with the goods this year!
Ten are livestreaming the entire race online!

Got to remind myself to wake up early to catch the start of LeMans tomorrow! A close race would be nice to have, but if not at least keep it safe guys! No major injury please (that means MOVE out of the way slow cars!)

I am looking forward to it. The sunrise portion is my favorite time of the race.

Slow cars need to keep their line, fast need to overtake.

How to watch the Le Mans 24

Nice post from Autoblog.com that gives options on watching Le Mans this year including Audi's and Corvette Racing's streams and spotter guides.

http://www.autoblog.com/2013/06/20/how-to-watch-the-24-hours-of-le-mans-this-year/

Drive network will also be doing a live stream/chat during the race like last year. It was a pretty good time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-2eV1ASlMA

 

[dubc35]

T-minus 10 hours.

 

[TylerD]

This trailer running at the site for the official stream just increased my hype meter by X100.

[dubc35]

I would classify this as 'good' weather for Le Mans.

Morning all. Watching the Legends race at Le Mans. Two observations - 1. It's wet. 2. Lots of Xbox One Forza Motorsport adverts instead of Gran Turismo. Hmm.

Um, didn't Peugeot raced with Xbox 360 stickers on it? And I think that we will see Le Mans in new Forza

I need some breakfast, and there isn't much in the way of breakfast food in the house.

I need suggestions of what to go get (grocery store or otherwise) before this starts. I'd hate to miss the race

Waffles it is.

 

[Hackbert]

argh... off to work until the evening. i just hope no one of the big five Lmp1 cars crashes early on (or better entirely not). Best moments are from dusk til dawn XD

 

[waypoetic]

So no OT for todays Le Mans?

I thought there was one going up but maybe not, if not soon someone should put one up.

What time does it start?

30 min

 

[andylsun]

In 30 minutes

Watching on tv this year, will be at the track next year! A lifelong dream come true

 

[Addnan]

Eurosport quality on Sky Go is so bad

 

[Dead Man]

30 min

I hate being at work I'm stuck here for... 10 more hours. Fuck. I thought it started later.

Edit: And I can't even stream silently since the work computers have a fucked up flash version. Shit.

 

[DrM]

God bless Eurosport for 24 hour coverage

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

'Morning, gentlemen.

Here's hoping Toyota can make it a race this year, but as always, it's going to be Audi's to lose. The rain might make things interesting, though.

 

[blanky]

I am so excited for this. Been watching the quali's and practice earlier this week and I've got a bunch of food and beer. See if i can stay awake all race long. So no OT for the actual race?

 

[bobnowhere]

Looks like the Ch10 stream is the eurosport coverage, not espn thankfully.

Although I'm not getting any commentry,

'Morning, gentlemen.

Indeed. I hope Toyota fight the good fight but expect an Audi win.

I have Eurosport on and the cars are fighting already on lap one!

Edit: Apparently the Toyota's are 4s a lap slower in the dry? Thankfully for them it's wet then.
