If you use Google Chrome then go here:

Then try to load the official live timing. It should auto switch to the nice live timing. If not, there should be a button in the top right.

It isn't quite as good as Timing71, but it's still very very good.

Awesome! This looks ten times better than what you can get loading https://www.fiawec.com/en/live as it is.
I will be trying tomorrow for sure. Thanks!

Is it working for the weekend so far? I know it was good for prologue, hoping the don't find a way to block it for the season.

Also, finding it difficult to get excited for this one. Really want to, but a 4 hour Sunday morning race...that's elms watch while I'm getting ready territory. Wonder if Toyota will win?

I don't know, maybe they will win it this year

(they were dq'd last year).

The WEC app was hopeless for us during qually, taking forever to update.... The ELMS timing was way better and much easier to read.

I agree with your excitement levels.

The timing should work. My understanding of the technical side of it is just that it's pulling additional data from the timing data stream and displaying it on a new layer on the website. Basically - all the data is in the timing stream. WEC just doesn't use it. Hopefully it continues to work today.

The WEC app is indeed, garbage. The website is also garbage. The ELMS timing works, but once again it lacks the data required to follow an endurance race properly.

Poor crowd here. Becketts is closed, as is half of Club. Stands all along start/finish straight all open though, so publicity shots can show busy stands even if the rest of the circuit is a ghost town.

Frankly I’m almost wishing they hadn’t bothered.

Ginettas are great though. 🙄

Just wait, it'll be 55,000 soon!

That’s always been the weekend attendance claim and might still reach that because the Sat crowd was bigger than I recall from previous years. It seems quite a few made the same judgment as some on this forum that Sat was where the vfm was.

For those with live timing: The Chrome addon appears to work. Data loads with blank times at the moment.

**Adam43** · 1 Sep 2019, 11:38 (Ref:3925111)

That's up and running for me too and the app is streaming nicely and has 8 onboards.

I should set up the sync with RLM...

New TV graphics continue to be rather nice. The new grid animations are kinda cool. The Silverstone 4H screen before the stream was nice too.

Whichever company was brought in to do this are very very good. Let them loose on the website and timing. This is a great step forward.

Toyota flies to the distance as per usual and Ginetta can't really keep up with P2 Orecas as per usual...

Anyway the TV graphics are nice yes

Expect that to continue if the warm-up laps are that slow for the rest of the season. It’s so much easier for the hybrids to warm up their tires.

What happened to double warm-up laps?

Dear lord. Ok the SC graphic needs to be toned back.
