Anyone have the live streaming links for today's WEC Finale?
Wasn't able to find live streaming video but Radio Le Mans is running. They started the race a lot earlier than expected. BHW
It was a nice race, up until about 30 minutes from the end when Webber crashed hard. But he still made it out OK, apparently. Nice to see Emmo back on track, though the car had issues and was out of the competition. He made a superhuman effort to promote the race and there was great attendance. Nice to see Kristensen on the podium in his last race, nice to see the Toyota in 2nd place and the whole team very happy to win the championship, and also, finally, great to see Porsche take their first of what will undoubtedly be many wins! I'm glad it happened here in São Paulo, and I'm already sad we don't get a race next year.
Not sure why WEC live streaming went dark after Fuji as to that point in the season, every race was streamed. Radio Le Mans did its best but they had no pit reporters to do interviews, etc. and it was obvious that the commentators today were sitting in a studio in the U.K. rather than being there live as well. Budgets must have run thin by the end of the season. BHW
ever notice that Webber doesn't crash much, but when he does it's massive? glad he's OK. farewell Mr. LeMans. looking forward to next year, featuring some high profile American teams/drivers!
Tom K. post race comments from Audi Sport... Tom Kristensen (Audi R18 e-tron quattro #1): A big thank you to everyone! I finished my first race with Audi at Sebring in 2000 on the podium and ending my career Im on podium again after a difficult race. To save another pit stop we had to drive more efficiently towards the end. That was on my stint. It was another exciting stage until the safety car was deployed. Congratulations to Porsche on their first victory and to Toyota on winning the title. And Im happy to have spent my career at Audi with the best team in the world. Emotionally, this was the best weekend in my career.
I watched it on TV but during the race the official TV coverage was saying it was streaming live on the iDevice and Android apps. Maybe I misunderstood.
Being in Brazil, likely there was more localized coverage. I checked all the usual streaming outlets and found none to be working. Not even Audi Live Racing was streaming. The FIA WEC site provides live timing and scoring so I used that along with Radio Le Mans to keep up. Still though, video would have been nice. BHW
I realise this is an old post but would like to clarify a few things. The FIA WEC has an official streaming service with commentary from RLM's John Hindhaugh and Dailysportscar's Graham Goodwin. Both are on location at the track with pitlane reporters too. The streaming service is available on PC, Android and IOS, the same service is also used for live TV coverage on channels like Motors TV. In addition to this, RLM have a separate radio commentary team located in the UK. They do a radio only service using TV pictures, unless they are on site as at Silverstone or Le Mans. I would assume some people have been using illegal streams, and it's likely these where took down by the WEC as the season progressed. Incidentally, Motors TV this week announced they will be moving into the US and Latin American markets. They cover full live FIA WEC & ELMS.
