^ The Porsche 1:37 was likely a quali sim. I don't think Toyota were going for times after the "outside EOT" laps they did in the morning, they just jumped into the 30h test with one of the cars and kept pounding out race stints.

And anyway, what does "unrestricted" or "outside energy allowance" mean? Did they burn great big lumps of petrol or only a little bit more than normal? Or maybe it was just the electrical energy restriction they broke. Again, we don't know by how much. Maybe it was the 300kW power restriction they broke. We'll probably never get these answers. |

Might take a few good words to convince a Chinese manufacturer to sign on. Hopefully he is a soothsayer and these Chinese lmp1's materialize.

North American coverage of LM and WEC will be, as guessed/rumored, on Velocity.

I just found out about the Velocity deal yesterday, it is one step of several that are needed to get going in the right direction. Really sucks the WEC app will be geoblocked in North America (I will never understand why this is done...) I have purchased the WEC subscription every year its been available, and will again this year for the "Super Season" without a second thought. It is almost $60.00 US but I feel like its worth it + watching the entire 24 hours without commercials is worth that much by itself, especially to my state of mind at 4:00 in the morning (Yes I watch ALL 24 hours every year)...

I wouldn't entirely bet on the app being geoblocked. That's not a common sense decision so I think there is an open debate on whether this will be the case or not. There's plenty of other ways to watch it without the app too. Eurosport seems like the best bet and we had free streaming of that last year, hopefully that continues.

I was under the impression the app was not being geoblocked.

I'm thinking that this is Discovery/Velocity trying to browbeat people in to using their Motor Trend on Demand apps. It's already the only way pretty much to catch the sprint races in their entirety.

This was on dailysportscar.com this morning - I don't know if they jumped the gun but they got the info from somewhere:
"DSC understands that this new deal means that the FIA WEC app will be geo-blocked in the USA and in English-speaking Canada. However, fans from the affected region will still be able to stream WEC races via Motor Trend’s online service and app." Your right - not a common sense decision, like I said I will never understand why they do this...

Tweets and comments have been deleted all over the place, however DSC said it was geoblocked and WEC replied with this is not true. It seems that most of this has now been deleted. So who knows.

Little more than two weeks away and we need to know. They better get back to the fans and sort this.

It seems like this is the situation every year. Some years in the past even if you wanted to purchase the subscription you had to wait until a day or two prior to the first race - then hope like hell it actually works. I've got faith they will work it out, but every year its up to the last minute with changes that are not publicized or conflicting reports of who/what/when/how. Maybe I'm just too impatient... FIAWEC is my Superbowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, World Cup (you name it) all rolled into one. This is literally the only sports series I follow with any more than a passing interest (other than IMSA and I honestly don't faithfully watch every race) So I like to get the hookup early and know I will be there for the start of the season. Like I said, maybe I'm just to impatient - this is me expecting too much...
Oh well - WEC Super Season subscription - purchased... $ Last edited by Livininthinair; 19 Apr 2018 at 18:25. |
