They fked up and they know it.
Am I the only person who has had a solid HD stream from the start? Maybe they only let one person watch at any one time hehe

In that case, stop it so we can have a go !

Its been a joke since the start to be honest. Doesn't work in firefox, they say it works in chrome, but it didn't. I installed chrome on 2 computers, both started working, but this morning one won't, so have to resort to Edge. Full screen was broken on Thursday completely.

I couldn't even load the site until 15-20 minutes after the race started, it was dropping in to low resolution/framerate and frequently the streams stop altogether and you just have to wait for it to come back. Even now I can't get full screen on the #8 onboard.

Also the live timing just plain doesn't work, the ACO one (probably uses the same data feed) doesn't either. The WC one loads a 2Mb pictuer for each car every time! its a joke.

Its massively ironic that we get all these people tell us how brilliant WEC is and how its more advanced than F1 and blah blah blah and they can't even get a fking timing screen working, much less video streams.

Do you have any apple devices? It's rock solid on my iPhone and iPad when I check.

Download the app!

I have to admit I'm missing Audi. LMP1 feels a bit empty

That's because it is a bit empty.
