I think there may be some weather problems around the ring. RLM and the Direct Stream keep cutting out for me at the same time or it may be my Interent connection but I doubt that as it was streaming both fine earlier.

All better now, I think my internet connection lagged up but closing every window and re-opening seemed to have worked. Sounds like an interesting race so far, I feel bad for missing the end of the Manthey - GT battle.

Watching the live feed now, although its on the advert. Are there any feeds without advertising?

It's a bit jumpy, but probably because I'm across the pond

Cheers Earth 👍

Come on Scirroco, in the top 30

 

[boiltheocean]

I'm pretty sure there is only one live feed. Although some streaming it may put adverts over the top.

 

[Wardy 944]

The helicopter shots are fantastic.

The Manthey-Osram battle is simple perfection.

I tried to save the live stream, but realplayer only recorded the battle in something like 1 frame every 2 seconds, probably because the stream was so jumpy for me. What a shame. I'm sure someone else will upload a better quality version of the great first 30 minutes to youtube.

I've been keeping track of the Ford GT's progress. This is how far back it has been from the leader lap to lap

Lap 8 - 4:39
Lap 9 - 1:58
Lap 10 - 1:54
Lap 11 - 1:44

It's coming!

This gives me hope it can make a comeback

EDIT: Just as I post this Radio LeMans mentions the Ford GT's comeback.

 

[Studentdriver]

I've tried the official stream but it kills Firefox. What gives?

 

[Wardy 944]

That Mini took a big hit

wow the overtakes down the pit straight

 

[Stevisiov]

Main support for me goes to the Audi R8 but my underdog support goes to the Scirocco.

Open the URL in WMP or something instead.

Please don't tell me the camera men stopped covering the race just 2 hours in...and we're stuck with a static camera watching the front stretch...

 

[Studentdriver]

I'm all set now, it works fine in Safari.

Ford GT is made by a company called Matech.
They are used mostly in GT Masters and the European GT3 Championship.
It is the worldwide first 24h Race of this car.

Sadly he had a bit bad luck...

I don´t like the Manthey Team... I hope someone else will win this time!
Even I don´t want the Audis to win neither

 

[Earth]

The top 3 leaders are separated by just 2 seconds!

And no video footage.

This is a crime

 

[Kutscher80]

Yeah, even in the german TV they show at the moment boring F1 instead of the 24h...

This is torture, we need the race feed If the channel has gone on a break I guess theres nothing we can do, well apart from send E-mails

The R8 is surely going to make a pass, come on Audi.

 

[boiltheocean]

Woo! Sabine Schmitz 👍 What is she racing in?

EDIT: Darn R8 Leading. Come on Manthey!

 

[Wardy 944]

The Ford GT has lost 7 places, I hope it was a pitstop and not another crash

 

[Stevisiov]

That R8 is going much quicker than the GT3 its just overtaken, perhaps the Porsches tyres are giving up?

 

[Wardy 944]

Woo! Sabine Schmitz 👍 What is she racing in?

EDIT: Darn R8 Leading. Come on Manthey!

she's in the #8 Porsche

 

[boiltheocean]

Thanks Man! Does anyone have an RSS for the live rankings? I'd love to put it on my desktop so I can free up some internetz.

 

[Wardy 944]

Oops I mean the #3 Porsche

 

[Stevisiov]

How many cars started this race?

 

[Earth]

This is getting frustrating. The Ford GT team, as expected, dropped the ball and is falling back fast.

And the stream appears to have died, at least for me.

At least the battle up front is close

 

[Mt. Lynx]

Looks like the Ford GT has some problems. It just lost another two spots. Sabine in 17th place.
Anyone know if they got that #100 Audi going again?

 

[Christhedude]

my goodness, i need to see some 24h nordschleife racing! all i get to see is the one camera at the Pit exit of the GP Strecke, does anyone have a feed for some in car racing or nordschleife cameras?

I think there is only one camera feed from the circuit. But you get a nice in pit shot of the 98 R8.
