I agree with you about PWC. But the BES is the best all-GT series on the planet and I love their coverage too. I really like John Watson commentating as a plus. Plus they are pretty good about getting almost all of the daylight hours of the Spa 24 covered too. Now if we can just find a way to knock off the WRT Audi's off their high horse.

Martin/Muller looked good in the Z4. Hopefully the pace is in the car as well as the drivers. Although with 3 cars in the Pro class WRT are bound to be up there. No #1 car either at Nogaro

Just realised that was the BSS race but my point is the same

[MitchZ06]

So first race at Monza this weekend and zero talk about BES?

[Rodger Davies]

Seems that way; I blame the fact they still have grid girls

[Simmi]

The clash with WEC is pretty unfortunate I suppose. It's never quite going to get the attention it deserves. There's a lot going on this weekend.

Can't wait to watch though.

On that subject, Motors TV are showing the whole race tape-delayed, immediately after the Silverstone 6 Hours. There's a 3-hour time slot for it so I would only expect minimal cuts to get the ads in.

Is there a website that posts the times from each session before they appear on the Blancpain GT website?

Thanks

Fantastic, redeeming themselves now: HD practice streams that is working perfectly for me over 3G:

[J Jay]

That's definitely not HD I'm afraid (yes, I have waited a couple of minutes to let the stream settle) but it is working without problems.

Embedded timing is not working for me - as usual - but otherwise it's good to see so many cars on track.

They're also doing youtube streaming, you can have a laugh at the chat going on too.

I know about live timing, but that's no good unless you are watching while it's live.

I'm chasing a natsoft type website. even the blancpain gt website doesn't supply times of all cars, unless you enter the teams area, and then it's not instant.

and I'm too lazy to do that.

Don't know if anyone is interested in this, but I'm doing a bit of photography in Monza this weekend. Here's my write-up of yesterday: http://www.gt-report.com/2015/04/10/day-one-at-monza/

I'll post a gallery of today later tonight, or after the weekend. First gotta find myself a pizzeria. ****ing hell I'm starving.

Matt Griffin is on his way from Silverstone to Monza for qualifying, less than 12 hours

It's new to me too Just something I do with some friends, probably nothing groundbreaking and might very well amount to nothing, but it's nice to get our work out to the world beyond the national outlets we usually work for. V de V story is just to support the photos, my Spanish friend took some awesome shots so I had to come up with something

So yeh anyway, the gallery of my second day at Monza: http://www.gt-report.com/2015/04/11/day-two-at-monza/

After working perfectly yesterday, the stream seems to be having a few issues this morning. Hopefully plenty of time to get it sorted.

it's awful.

I'm trying to drop from 720 to 380 so I can get a continuous stream, doesn't work.

[Rodger Davies]

Nah, yesterday I was getting 720p over 3G on my phone, this morning they're having issues but I'm sure they'll figure it out for later. Pity, because I really like BES' non-gimmicky qualifying format.

[scudd]

seems to be sorted now

[Rodger Davies]

Damn, I just stopped before Q3!

How bad is the Lamborghini looking? Guess it's not going to race from the sound of it.

Edit: Audi, not Lamborghini!

huh? the lambo is 3rd. did the other car stick it in?

[Rodger Davies]

Said Babini was with medical staff on Twitter, but he seemed fine in the garage when I got the stream back on, so not sure.

Edit, ignore me, Fabio Onidi. It's early on Sunday....... Same question for whichever ISR car that is then?

I see, great job for p3 from the lambo. there were 2 audis that stuck it in. both looked ordinary.
