So they are showing the world feed, my mistake. I just get pissed off by Geo-restriction. Just makes no sense to me that a "World Championship" is restricted to only a certain region.

Where is the commentary gone on the english blancpain link?

I heard at the top of the hour that they were going off the air for I believe it was 1 hour, which is about the time that the cameras went to the static cameras that we see right now.

This is the longest full course caution that I have ever seen in a race without having a red flag in there somewhere. An hour is an extensive amount of time, just driving around and burning fuel and barely keeping the tires warm. The officials have their reasons though.

3-6 hours under caution isn't unheard of - usually for fog - in endurance racing.

They do that when a paid TV channel is streaming the race on your country.

True, I've forgotten about those instances. I should have said that this is the longest one I have seen for a wreck, but outside of Le Mans, which has had coverage in the states for a few years, I've only been watching these endurance races via web feeds for a couple of years, especially this year since I now have spare bandwidth to allocate to it.

Commentators are back now, also.

SLS did well to drive through the incident with that damage.

And Its just as annoying when my friends can't watch the same race I am because of it. I hate it no matter what end I'm on.
