Fired up the second laptop and logged in that way ok, using a HDMI to the amp rather than the failed implementation of Chromecast they have.

I could stream mine on the main TV via my HTPC but am actually choosing to watch on my PC. Feed on right monitor, timings & twitter on the left, this site and other stuff in the middle

Pfft all that screen wastage. Big screen is for live video.
Tablets, phones, laptops are for all the other info?

Vertigo · 13 Jun 2015 at 14:49

I may watch some on the TV later on - I tend to watch all motorsport stuff on my PC as I multi-task whilst doing so.

Anyone for a drinking game?

Everytime they mention the tunnels that run through the GT-R LM, down it.

Vertigo · 13 Jun 2015 at 14:52

So what's the weather forecast looking like for this weekend (and best site to check this)?

LOL I'd end up comatose and missing the last half of the race

Should be 24 drinking games, one an hour, just to mix it up.

Ryan-3 · 13 Jun 2015 at 14:56

It was meant to be good today and by tomorrow morning it should be rather wet. Haven't seen or heard any reports since qualifying though so it may have changed since.

Just checked. Early hours onwards is meant to be between light showers and English summer. Fine until then.

Hmm, wonder what the rules are on using the streaming on multiple client machines. Can't find any info about it but there have to be some restrictions in place to prevent abuse. Wondering if I'll have problems trying to stream to my HTPC downstairs.

Fire!

Ryan-3 · 13 Jun 2015 at 15:01

Well, that's a retirement and there's the safety car. Quite a fire in that 911, red Rebellion beached in the gravel trap. Looks like the rebellion hit it going into the corner.

Edit: 911 spun independent, looks like the rebellion tagged the Strakka?

Flibster · 13 Jun 2015 at 15:01

Didn't say who I'm supporting this year.

LMP1H
Webber & Hulkenberg
Toyota

LMP1
Rebellion

LMP2
G-Drive

GTE-Pro
Aston Martin

GTA-Am
Aston Martin
Dempsey Racing *well, that's the other half's team really*

Housey · 13 Jun 2015 at 15:02

How they misread that incident is beyond me. 911's seem to have a fire issue this year...

Vertigo · 13 Jun 2015 at 15:02

Didn't think there was an impact - from the onboard it looked far more like the rear end breaking away than the sudden shunt you'd get from an impact.

That Porsche is toast. Hope the Rebellion's ok.

Flibster · 13 Jun 2015 at 15:03

Another toasted Porsche. That'll make the other Porsche teams pay attention.

Ryan-3 · 13 Jun 2015 at 15:03

First the GT3, now the GTE..

Wondered where you'd got to

No Marshalls with marshmallows

Love how the commentators were saying "no fire tender there, get it to a fire tender". Erm, if the car's on fire you stop and get the hell out of it, not keep going until you see a fire marshall!
