Yeah I just paid for it and still nothing in my browser on any of the pages. Which one should I be F5ing? Does the Radio Le Mans team control the audio on the WEC feed or will I need to split?

Alright but where on the WEC site should I be trying to get the video? Last year I just took the Ford feed which had Radio as their sound.

Website just flipped over I'm good.

Is there any race commentary? Might stick with Radio, this guy already sounds less fun.

Is ByKolls back on track yet or what? I missed the start on the WEC stream (it died when the pace car pulled away) too but at least I had the audio from RLM. Their stream also doesn't disable the mouse cursor like YouTube.

Not going to bother with FS1 but WEC/FIA need to poach some of the UFC's video-on-demand team.

How synced up are the RLM team with what I'll see on the main broadcast? Not going to stream from any one car unless a knife fight starts between Ford and Ferrari, but if even if they're significantly better than the new team I'd like to have the video match up at least a little.

Holy poo poo, this owns. Onboard streams of all their cars and an option to play Radio Le Mans over the stream.

I loving love Porsche.
I watched those last year but the problem is you lose the stream if a car retires. I know that's unlikely with Porsche but I think we even lost #2 by morning so Ford channel was obviously better last year.

Holy poo poo RLM is synced up to WEC right now with that beautiful LMP1 pit exit battle.

Go go #69! First Corvette now the lead Aston.

On the other hand holy poo poo poor Toyota with the same electrical issues again. Maybe Porsche is using e-War.

I feel like I should be watching the #69 dash cam to avoid the LMP1 carnage. Just paint it like the grim reaper next year because it's stalking Aston and Ferrari like death.

If Toyota doesn't throw the GS050 out and start ground-up on Monday I'll have to wonder what's up with their program.

The real question is will it take less time for Toyota's board to announce the shutting down of the LMP1 programme or will that actually take 24 hours?
At least take a year or two off to reinvent the program, and pray BKolles sticks around to keep the division open lol

are you kidding me, they didn't quit after last year, there's no way this is the reason they'll pull out. it's being run and funded by the engineers, not the marketing people, remember. They'll want to win this drat thing out of spite.
This is the most :japan: thing ever but I would expect nothing less from the firm that took a loss on every LFA.

I have the WEC stream muted with Radio Le Mans playing over top and they sync up great.

What would it take for Toyota #8 to make it back to the podium? #2 Porsche is already going to need less safety time in the last 12 than there was in the first 12.

The WEC site won't even load now. Cyberattack or no their server ran worse than a TS050.

RLM is saying that contact blocking Aston is what eventually screwed Corvette?
