a distinct possibility... wouldn't do for Nico to outrun their #1boy

[Chode]

i only use the live streams and did not need to download any software/program to watch

[Chode]

Sebring, for anybody interested... http://www.vipbox.tv/motorsports/142868/1/american-le-mans-series-racing:-12-hours-of-sebring-live-stream-online.html

Any news if NBC will cover Q2 and Q3 live?

[Chode]

the link in #20 should work when the time comes...

“i only use the live streams and did not need to download any software/program to watch “

Thanks. I just tried Sebring, and successfully used the “yycast” option which is FoxSports live.

For the GP there appear to be five or six options.

Is the race at 11 pm PDST tonight (Sat.), PDST or 2 am EDST (Sun.)?

[Chode]

the link in #20 should work but i'm not sure of the time

With SPEED, you knew what to expect.

Will NBC follow suit?

I waited til 1:30 pm (ET) to watch the rebroadcast of the qualifying rounds, which didn’t happen. No announcement, no nothing.

Just U.S. Football.

This is gonna be a long season for me...

[Chode]

damn...

[truth_seeker]

I found it on my Fios television list, channel 90 NBC Sport, which used to be Vevo, and played some good sports stuff.

I’ll try the vipbox.tv link you provided. And also check out NBC Sports on cable.

Watching on Speed now. Saw their earlier coverage (DVR). 2:32 to go.

Strange to see Flying Lizard in GT challenge.

[Chode]

yeah, they should call it the Porsche Challenge...

[Chode]

[Elle Bee]

See if you can find Man, Moment, Machine on History2. .... 121 on Dish

episode 29 Enzo Ferrari & the Historic Race. The British Grand Prix in Silverstone

Well, that was interesting for the first race of the season.

BTW, did Hamilton spend the off season in prison? Right arm fully tattoo’d down to the hand. Looks like a thug.

[Chode]

yup, Kimi kicked azz!!! and it's the new Lew... with his new found "Freedom", his inner punk can finally shine

[mykroar]

Happy to see they grabbed David, Steve & Will. I was worried about NBC, but was impressed.

[Moltke]

I hope Mercedes at least put a ‘no facial tattoos’ clause in his contract...he could damage the brand image...and those silly earstuds are bad enough as it is...faggotry.

Anyhow, go Kimi. Keep Vettel and Alonso honest.

[truth_seeker]

Watched it on NBC Sports, which replaces Speed TV for US coverage.

Some of the same announcers, more commercials, better video quality in my opinion.

Fantastic first race for the season, if somewhat short on drama.

It looks like the new order may not be tilted so far towards Red Bull Infiniti.
