Lots of buffering problems on the official FIA live feed. Good to see they're spending the money they got from paid live streaming well.... Was actually better and more consistant quality when it was free.

On another note. Go Toyota! :cheers:
 
FWIW, if you're a Fox Sports subscriber and have the Fox Sports Go app, you can stream the race. Unfortunately by the time I figured this out I missed the start. I really hate these guys.
 
Isn't Fox pretty much exclusive to the US? As for the start, I can tell you that you didn't miss much in the LMP-1 catagory. Toyota nr. 8 pulling away instantly. They're really doing well this year :D.
 
I think they're also in some South American countries as well as Australia. Although I'm not sure which of their affiliates are actually airing the race and where.
 
This is fantastic.

EDIT There goes the leader!

Thank God for the livestrean! The *******s at Fox are playing the stupid Louisville vs FIU game...and I don't know what they think is so important about a 28-0 game. :banghead: This WEC race is amazing!
 
Major rainstorm on far end of track.
 
Seeing how well ESM is doing at the moment, going to the WEC race at Shanghai instead of Petit is a good decision.
 
Heavy shower!

CONWAY WHAT A SAVE!

LEADER IN THE GRAVEL.

#1 pitted just before it really got heavy, so did Porsche. Not sure about what tyres they have on though.
 
This is complete carnage!
 
It's car park in the run off. Just like F1 at Nurburgring 2007.

Not a good time for stream to die...

But according to live wec it's red flag?
 
Red flag according to Toyota on twitter.
Saves both Toyota's with one in the gravel and the other in the wall.
 
Red flag. Stream down.
 
Lapierre is absolutely useless. I feel sorry for Buemi and Davidson to be saddled with this talentless brainless hack.
 
Anyone have a live stream link? Looks like a real stunner
 
We are under red flag, Porsche crashed.

It's back.
 
I still think it's a shame that rain racing has seemingly vanished in most racing franchises. I realise you can't drive in conditions such as Fuji last season, but they do seem to pull the red flag too fast. They have wet tires for a reason, don't they?

Can't have 6 cars in the gravel.
 
I think it was because of so many cars being spun off and stuck in the gravel.
 
In other news I've finally realised why the Porsche's are numbers 14 and 20. It's the year! Mission 2014 and all of that. Can the worlds slowest sportscar fan have a trophy for putting 2 and 2 together (or 20 and 14 together).

I may be talking red-flag nonsense :lol:

You are right!
 
Fair point. Still want to see more rain racing though :D

The other drivers could learn from Conway. Uhm, that is until he himself ended up in the gravel...
