Sad part is SPEED will have zero television coverage of any of the Nurburgring 24 weekend and have Barrett Jackson car auctions (live), about 20 nascar live filler programs, full length coverage from the Scott Pruett festival, reality tv, informercials, and the show featuring rednecks standing in a walmart parking lot for 2 hours (nascar raceday)

Time to fire up online streaming.

Yes, It's quite unfortunate that coverage of this (once) great race is so limited, but I suppose we will get a visual feel for the race when we see the Audi ads for the R8. Maybe they will make a "Truth in 24 -part II (Now with BoP!)".

As a die-hard Porsche fan, I cant wait for the Porsche race!!

ESP Germany broadcasts it live on Saturday from 1115-1230 CEST. I bet there will be streaming of it somewhere

And with Eurosport broadcasting as well there's just got to be streaming available. You can almost always count on the interwebz!

St00ge · 23 Jun 2011, 10:10 (Ref:2904659)

eurosports is even showing it on pay tv here

NightStalk3r · 23 Jun 2011, 15:59 (Ref:2904791)

You should be able to watch the World Cup at Racecam.de, they have shown every round of the German Carrera Cup on there this year.

Live Timing and Commentary has just started at http://www.racecam.de/index.php?lang...rid=160&sid=27

Commentary is a mix of German and English.

Bairdo should get quicker as the weekend progresses, he was quite fast in the Quinns RSR in the 24hr.

Bezzen · 24 Jun 2011, 21:27 (Ref:2905490)

Norbert Siedler on pole in front of René Rast and Kuba Giermaziak.

Qualifying says Bairdo 29th, Porsche press release says 31st. Better result is 31st as he will start pole in 2nd group with clean air. He's a racer, top 15 would be a fantastic effort. Geez some of these guys are quick...

Race about to get under way...

AndrewF31 · 25 Jun 2011, 09:58 (Ref:2905637)

lots of rain and slippery porsches
lots of bumper cars too

Great footage on Eurosport.

Bezzen · 25 Jun 2011, 10:08 (Ref:2905639)

Wow. Worst commentary ever on Swedish Eurosport. He's actually not aware that there's any Swedish drivers there.

He's not spotted them in the live timing either.

Even though Eurosport is actually behind the Racecam.de stream! But the commentary on (German) Eurosport is better, because Norbert Ockenga is the only one commentating, while on the Porsche stream Burkhard Bechtel and his English colleague seem to talk to each other in their respective languages, which is kinda confusing. Although they also do a good job.

Pandamasque · 25 Jun 2011, 10:18 (Ref:2905644)

RLM are commentating on it too.

**FIRE** · 25 Jun 2011, 10:21 (Ref:2905645)

Was only able watch a few laps but it's great to see all these Porsches on the Nordschleife.

Bezzen · 25 Jun 2011, 10:21 (Ref:2905646)

The Swedish commentator just saw Rudholm's name on the TV screen! "Rudholm. He's Swedish! I must have missed him in the entry list".

And as he says that he misses Kristoffersson and Palm on the screen two.

Big facepalm moments.

**FIRE** · 25 Jun 2011, 10:24 (Ref:2905647)

He's not a regular motorsport commentator?

Janne Tromark, I think he's the one that does the Supercup. He obviously did 0 research for this event, not knowing the Scandinavian Cup was in it. Perhaps had a fun Midsummer's eve yesterday.

"Too bad there are no Swedes in the event" was his comment at the start of the race.

dank · 25 Jun 2011, 10:42 (Ref:2905657)

Had to endure Carlton Kirby here in Britain.

Windscreen wipers "ablaze" and all that.

And those people get paid for commentating.....the first thing you expect is they have read the entrylist.
