Not yet but the price on the website will be in Euro's. That's why I use the app to buy in pounds. If you have a smart phone it will tell you how much it costs.

Does anybody know how much subscription to the wec site is ? There is no price list on there.I want every race,but everything just says there is no live video at the moment.

It cost me £25.99 for the 9 race pack (including Le Mans) I think. Go via 'live -> member access' on the website and then sign in or create an account and you should be able to pick your packages there and pay.

Thanks for the info, i don't suppose i can watch a full race on demand can I ?

The deal is now that if you buy the package you'll have access to the whole race on demand for the 3 weeks after the race finishing. So not quite as flexible as what IMSA and other championships offer but a vast improvement on last year.

I wish motorsport.com could be ignored.

Darren Turner replaces Brit GT bound Jonny Adam this weekend and Damien Faulkner is at Murphy.

Just replace the BMW with my Audi and you have my setup going to COTA this year.

Darth Vader Audi R18 LM spec running at Monza

 

[TexasTyme214]

This looks a lot more like the originally revealed car. Looks beautiful

 

[IforceV8]

I hope Michelin and Dunlop brought a nice all weather tire along.



and changes as Audi.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

WEC Member subscription is sorted. Bring on the sexy racing cars!!!

The Audi R18 LM spec is as ugly as sin but I do like the sound. There is something appealing the quiet whoosh of the 4lt V6 TDI. Having said that, it is not a patch on the 2.4lt V6T in the TS050 HYBRID though.

Good luck to Leena in her new role with Bentley. I have no doubt she will continue to be a success.

[FutureF1]

Any idea who'll replace Leena? That's a pretty big loss for Audi....

Also am I the only one who's missing the two prongs on last years Audi? I thought those made that car beautiful...

You might well be the only one! I think the last attractive looking LMP1 Audi made was the 2014 R18 e-tron quattro.

 

[catamount39]

You might well be the only one! I think the last attractive looking LMP1 Audi made was the 2014 R18 e-tron quattro.

Yeah that was the last beautiful Audi.

 

[trustjab]

I think the original R18 (non e-tron) was the last good looking Audi lmp1. None since look good at all imo.

 

[LancerEvo7]

I thought the original R18 was horrid at the time but it's definitely grown on me, especially compared to what they've put out since.

 

[IforceV8]

*Bentley IMSA DPi conspiracy theories intensify*

Yeah I cant see why somebody with her ability would be wasted taking care of a few GT3 cars worldwide unless other big things are in the works.

Especially with their mantra of going for overall wins. She's won Le Mans with Audi, but imagine adding the Rolex 24, Sebring and Petite Le Mans to the collection. It's all a theory, but it's not completely far fetched. She'd be perfect to lead a Bentley factory effort in IMSA.

Rebellion's new headlights

 

[Bram Turismo]

What a beautiful machine!

 

[Scuderia Paul]

They are pretty cool looking I must say.

👍

Great news. I didn't know that. I, for one, sent a lot of emails to them requesting this feature since the first year of the service.

And on other news:



It doesn't look so offensive in movement, does it? I'm guessing that I'll stay on Team Audi this year.

edit: I never thought I'd miss the flywheel whine...

 

[catamount39]

The Rebellion makes the Audi look like a Fiat Multipla. Too bad its slower than ****.

Interesting day today, part of the WEC road trip involved a visit to cadwell.

During the day someone was pretty interested in why he couldn't keep up as he was in a similar car.

Recognised his face then it dawned on me that he was a racing driver who has won the Le Mans classic several times the spa 6hrs and the TT at goodwood 3 times.

Internet cookie for the first person to guess who it is
