Should have mentioned earlier but got it work again by reloading the stream. Using PS4 by the way.

I'm using the PC because i have to study and when i have a pause time, i can see the timing

Got the PS4 showing the live stream and have a computer to follow the timing, this thread and backup streams.

DRIIINKKK!!!

 

[MatskiMonk]

Big hit for the 102 M6, seems to have gotten away with it though...

.. and the Manta is in...

 

[sgohsixthree]

Aerosmith is an interesting choice.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Must be that time of the race to start posting photo's of our viewing area... seems to be a tradition for 24' races...

 

[sgohsixthree]

I'll play along. 9AM here, so drinking should commence soon.

 

[Savolainen83]

Whats wrong with the Manta?

 

[MatskiMonk]

Nooooooooooo....

I'm sure they'll get it going again.. 21.5 hours to go...

I'll play along. 9AM here, so drinking should commence soon.

Looks good... but 9AM or not... -10 pts for no drink

Always had an interest in endurance racing, but first time properly watching it this year. Any tips for watching it? What hours normally have good action? Can't watch 24hrs of it

Nice! How did you get all four onboards on one screen to the left?

I have to work 2-9 so I'll miss the sunset which is my favorite part of the 24 hour races

I suggest the Vodafone feed and watching it until nightfall, since usually they switch to static cameras showing only the main straight and the pit exit until sunrise on sunday.

But not sure if that happens this year.

Obviously most of the ring is not lit, so the fully dark hours don't show you much - other than the astonishing commitment and ability of the drivers...

So I'd just drink a lot of coffee, and watch as much as you can!

Day time. Night time is when you can't see anything and the camera operators go home. You are left with one or two locked camera positions plus some onboard cars.

 

[DesertPenguin]

How bad would it be if they showed track cameras at night but only the ones with the cars "coming out" of the camera and away so the headlights illuminate what's ahead instead of just getting blinding views.

https://viewsync.net, takes a bit to setup, but works alright.

 

[DesertPenguin]

My computer can't handle that stuff but awesome that it's that accessible. I thought you found some other youtube channel.

Does anyone else find Martin Haven intensely annoying?

No but I understand why others might.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Quite a few low percentage moves going on in this race so far.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Yeah, like jabbering on about the wrong car - cutting Hindy off, who was simply trying to point this out... then jabbering on about how far tyres might roll as if he's never seen a crash coming out of the Elbow at Bathurst!!!

He does like the sound of his own voice and takes and age to make a point at times, usually when he's saying something very obvious but he's been a bit of a constant in my motorsport viewing through the years so I give him a bit of a pass from time to time.
