The night time effect is amazing. I am sincerely terrified about what this track will be like in a downpour, however.

It looks like where the cars go under the grandstand, there may be run-off that waterfalls right onto the track!

Looks good in the dry so far!

Nice one Chaparral and Ciro!
Friday afternoons are now officially non-working for me.
Must keep it hidden from my boss though.

ITV4s feed does not work for me as server is in Germany #-o

UK users can go here (Practice 2 at 2:30pm BST)

Remember: if you use FF or Opera you can zoom for the video to fill the screen.

C'mon, monkeyboy, invite your boss! Maybe you can work one hour more this afternoon... and convert him into a fan. I punish people at my office who don't watch the races. ;)

what do you expect? illegal streaming will be faught by FOM. it will cost them money. the most reliable is the satellite service in Europe. that will always bring you all sessions. in Germany Premiere have the right to IP TV. but I would daubt that you can get it abroad unless you fake your IP. Same should be true for the ITV IP feed.

here is how to watch the itv stream: http://www.itv.com/utils/f1player.html
by changing proxy settings on your browser.
it took me 20sec to change it on my firefox.
I have to say this was posted in another forum by someone other than me

IE SETTINGS:

In internet explorer go to Tools - Internet Options - hit the "Connections" tab and then go down the bottom to "LAN settings" - tick the "Use aproxy server..." box - type 212.241.180.239 in the "address" box and 81 in the "port" box - go OK, then OK again.

Type - http://www.itv.com/utils/f1player.html in the address bar - hit return - it should take about 30 seconds to get the ITV stream going.

Importantly - as soon as the stream has started - go back to tools - internet options - connections - this time untick the "Use a proxy server.." box. Hit OK and OK again - the stream will continue - enjoy a live stream direct from ITV.""

FIREFOX SETTINGS:
Just copy/paste and open web http://www.itv.com/utils/f1player.html -Still blocked. skitarg

NOW :
Open FF TOOLS -. at bottom open "OPTION", go to "ADVANCED"
then open "NETWORK" ,in top window "CONNECTION" open "SETTINGS"
in new window CLICK "Manual Proxy Configuration" . copy -> 212.241.180.239
NOW PASTE into blank space, HTTP Proxy: 212.241.180.239
Change PORT from 0 to 81,then click OK , OK again .
Now click FF (blue)"REFRESH" button and wait few seconds.
Now ENJOY F1 8) :wink:

Can anyone verify if what 'NaZZo' posted worked? And if it didn't work, can anyone share/recommend sites that will work for the final GP? I really need an online site to watch the Brazilian GP!

And as someone else mentioned in another discussion, please PM the links instead of posting them publicly, for the obvious reasons.
