Open the Player site twice, mute ES1/ES2 and sync by pausing either = HD.

or if the Polish version doenst give HD channels either, use e.g. http://hola.org and access it via eurosportplayer.co.uk instead, you'll also get British commentators this way :p


Hmm, I don't get the first sentence, are you saying the quality of the ES1/ES2 streams can be higher than that of the dedicated Le Mans channel? Thought 1800 kbps was the max for both (and still it goes up and down, despite me having much better DL speeds)

Yes, if Polish version has the HD quality (if not, use the Hola trick I mentioned). It's clearly, visibly better when comparing side by side. Finnish version has never had the HD quality, for some reason, this goes back years. Also the HD quality seems to go on most likely only in fullscreen mode/large window size.

And we have seen absolutely ZERO footage of it yet. This coverage is a joke.

What is this? A driver might be injured and everyone pretends like nothing has happened. Irritating coverage.

I don't think it's their intention to show the crashes, actually.

Duval surely had an onboard camera there but the footage was not shown, still.

It is a thing!

Perez would be dead if there wasn't Tecpro at the Nouvelle Chicane.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Well, action again

It's too hot now(26ºC), they are clearly doing race setup work now because seeking for qualy lap would be pointless as the next session will allow for much faster pace

SAFER and Tecpro are completely different things. I'm not sure if there actually are any SAFER barriers at any European circuits, actually - I wonder if it's because we only have a handful of ovals between us.

They're not the same design but they are based around the same principle- using soft walls to absorb impact away from the car and driver.
