The SRO stuff was on SPEED2 as well which made them geoblock the series for the last few years, and for at least the first few races of the season they did NOT unblock them after a few weeks. Admittedly, I could only bring myself to care for the first few races of each season and after that I'd just give up and move on and stop checking to see if they had been unblocked. If we are to the third race in the championship and I'm still not able to watch the first race, at that point I'm done. Perhaps you should read closer before "chomping at the bit" as it doesn't say that the races will be live, it says that the BSS races will be broadcast "as live" on the same day (which is actually better than live in my opinion because they can be adjusted to better show times here in the US). It doesn't say anything about the BES races being live, but rather says they will be 1 hour long highlights packages. My bigger issue is with the BES races being geoblocked. If they geoblock the BES races because of the 1 hour highlights packages then that means none of us here in the US will be able to watch the full BES races, as even the people with the channel available will only get 1 hour highlights packages. They have already geoblocked the Monza BES race so I'd be willing to bet the rest of the season will be geoblocked too. Now I know everything can't work for me and that just because it doesn't work for me it doesn't mean its terrible, so I didn't say that they were idiots or accuse them of screwing their fanbase or call it a "horrible deal" or anything. Just because something works for you and you are excited because you misread something and think you can watch it live doesn't mean that I need to be excited when it means I won't be able to watch them at all. |

Have all of you tried using a proxy? Don't know if the connection will be be fast enough, but I used to see top gear live a few times in that way (By using an English IP to navigate throught the program site), and Its geoblocked outside UK.
This is not the correct idea because it will be slow, but at least you will be able to see it. |

They aren't much good for watching live streams though from my experience, but I've never tried a fancy paid one which I guess would be faster. |

In more happier happenings Porsche will be represented for the first time in a late entry to Brands by a Farnbacher Racing GT3R with Nick Tandy being one of the drivers. Good news

Ooo, twitter said it should be repaired, maybe the damage was worse than it looked?
Hope there will be some way of seeing the qualifying later this afternoon. |

Hmm, didn't know that having an optimistic opinion towards this new TV deal was so frowned upon...but considering that you don't get to watch it everyone should fall upon their swords in sadness and despair. The end is nigh! Last edited by Nick Woodbury; 17 May 2014 at 15:46. |

Quality is good, but it buffers quite often.

The Porsche went into the barriers exiting Stirlings (just before post 21 for those that know the circuit). Apparently it suffered chassis damage that was beyond repair at the circuit. Shame to lose the Porsche from BSS but there were plenty out in the GT cup - looks like that's where all the Carrera cup cars are!

But as you say, that GT Cup grid is epic. EDIT: For anyone interested, I will be interviewing Roman Rusinov tomorrow. It'll be up on my motorsport related Facebook page on Monday. Search 'Adam Weller - Motorsport Journalist & Reporter' to find me. Last edited by adam46; 17 May 2014 at 23:33. |

Anyone here understand how the time is supposed to work out. On the official page it says the quali race starts 10:30, 9:30 GMT. What tz is that 10:30? Brands Hatch is in GMT, isn't it?

And blocked in the UK again. At least with a message telling me to watch on ESPN now. Well, there goes my following; time to go out and enjoy the sun 'til the ELMS streaming...

It's on? huh? Why is the live link on the official page not showing anything?
When does that mean the championship race starts in CEST, and where is it streamed online? |
