Continuing a stonking day of sport...

The site appears to have crashed already, fortunately I have it on Sky Sports 3, I was hoping to get it up and running for when the ads are on.

[Pilky]

I had it on but couldnt see a live link anywhere..is it pay per view???

There's a free live link to all the races on the Indycar website, but Its generally only a high helicopter cam view with no commentary to act as a taster for you to buy a viewing package.

Shame Sky don't put this sort of thing on Box Office, Id happily pay a fiver to watch it.

As it is, I'll be visiting myp2p.eu and finding a stream from our far eastern friends

It's on Sky sports 3, I guess you don't have sky sports then? They show quite a bit of motorsport now so its worth having.

Nope cant really justify a sports package, and I dont think you can only buy SS3 can you?

Gawd, the adverts are terrible.

[Marc W]

Probably not and it wouldn't be much good as the motorsport jumps around all 4 channels.

I've finally got the live link working and it's the full coverage with commentary. It's very erratic though and keeps stopping.

Try the Sopcast link in the last post in the myp2p forum here, thats working fine for me.

The live link does have commentary but its only one camera so you only see half the lap.

lots of brits in it this year
be nice to have a Brit win Indy again - be a bloody good weekend - GP2 - F1 and Indy - nice hat trick

[Marc W]

I really hate the way Sky keep going back to their own studio during the coverage. I'd rather stick with the race coverage even if it is under yellow especially as they rarely say anything useful and you do occasionally get incidents under yellow flags.

Anyone got a live streaming site that works? Can't get anything on the ones mentioned above.

[LocoBlade]

Have you tried this sopcast link, which is listed in the last post in the above link? The ones on the main page didnt work for me but this one has been fine, an ESPN feed

Preferable to Andrew Marriot on Speed TV.

They've had some serious technical problems.First 70 laps with just one camera working & no replays!
