Hi,

Does anyone know if there is an english speaking radio station that broadcasts during the F1 at the Spa circuit? Something like Radio Lemans

Thanks in advance

BBC Radio 5 broadcast at each F1 race if that's what you're after. Good mobile app too.

Doesn't work out of the UK though? Didn't last time I tried in Sweden, where it cuts out as soon as the race starts. (on a computer - I assume it's the same mobile). I didn't try very hard. With Proxy servers yes, but would probably be over mobile data if you were at the race. Roaming data is expensive so find a local sim with a data deal...

Unfortunately there is no Kangeroo TV this year at F1.

Are there any other solutions?

No consolation, but, at the Spanish GP in Barcelona they handed out papers with 2 frequencies (1 for Spanish, 1 for English ) I didn't find anyone that could locate the English broadcast rolleyes Oh what a surprise . . . (not)

Personally, I am very p1ssed off that the Fanvision system didn't pay Bernie enough to continue, as it was invaluable during Quali & damned useful during the race.


PA from the speakers in Spa is totally inaudible except for the few seconds that no car is passing, so, sharp wits /binoculars/imagination / a place close to a big screen/ is a must if you want to have anything resembling a flying feck of what is going on.

Sorry I didn't realise you wanted it outside of the UK - you should be able to get Radio 5 on http://tunein.com/ outside of the UK although i've never tried!
