Spa WEC 6 Hours

[eps]

What's going on with the two Ginetta LMP1s?

[jurbie]

The rumour is their Chinese sponsor hasn't come up with any money.

Ah, caught up with mid week Motorsport last night, Hindy said something to the effect that the team had set off for the track and he hoped they'd make the grid, there might be a story to come later in the week. There were reports a few weeks ago that there was a financial scandal going on at CEFC

Both manor cars look ready to go for fp3

One lap each and straight back in the garage

One car is sponsored by the Chinese energy group being investigated for various issues (bribery / corruption etc) the other is UK backed, although you'd have to reckon they are all tied up together.
Miles cost money, hopefully a car will be out for qualifying :-(

Broke down on the out lap.

Nasty crash for Pietro Fittipaldi at Eau Rouge. Not spectacular, but a big stop. Hopefully he'll be OK.

Session held up for half an hour. Taken to the medical centre.

Hopefully just a precaution.

Manor now confirmed as out of the meeting on daily sportscar, hope they can sort it for le mans

Does the WEC app have the ability to watch previous sessions on the website?

Here right? https://www.fiawec.com/en/replay

Quick question guys - the tokens for Spa, can they be bought by card or cash only?

I was standing just below where he went into the barrier flat out. It seemed pretty spectacular from where I was... I should think he has more than minor injuries because they had a lot of difficulty getting him out of the car and it looked like the tub might have actually broken. Hope to be proved wrong.

[FredericRobinson]

Broken both legs apparently

7 Toyota moved from pole to starting a lap down from pit lane for an incorrect fuel flow meter

Anyone know what the deal for coverage (UK TV) is this weekend? I've got BT sport which according to the press blurb from the FIA has the UK coverage, however there is f-all on the listings for Saturday (both normal and xtra channels), BT TV seem to know nothing about the series, and I'm not paying extra for the app as I've got Eurosport player as a back up, but its on my tablet / phone only and I was hoping to record and delay the coverage until I'm finished with dad duties later on the Saturday (I know, 1st world problems and all that...)
I'd imagine that BT have ditched it as (shock horror given they didn't advertise it and kept shunting it onto the extra channels) the viewing was poor, in which case I'll have to use Eurosport player and drop in and out.
Any ideas???

BT Sport 5 extra (not listed) 469 HD and 454 I think

Nice watching a warm dry race from Spa.

Watching it on the Eurosport app but there’s no commentary. Anyone have a similar issue?, not sure if it’s a settings issue or something like the WEC app only carrying commentary.

On the Eurosport player "no ad" complete race stream, there's no commentary.

Thanks, is there just the one stream available on the app? For the cycling there seems to be 2 streams, one of which is ad free.
