Longtime lurker. Hope my first post is helpful. Try this link to see if you can watch Sebring. Have not tried it so not sure if it will work.

Just tried it and doesn't work for me. Worth a try. Might just be my internet provider.

espn3 streaming is working for me

hdmi cable attached to TV, good to go

video quality varies but still watchable

still, it does blow!
so many channels... You'd think there would be enough demand for this particular race.

There's a bunch of us who are blocked from ESPN3 and ALMS.com because our ISPs don't have an agreement with ESPN. That's the worst part of this new deal. If they wanted maximum viewership they wouldn't say Comcast customers can watch the stream but Qwest customers can't. They've blocked all the offshore sites to US viewers as well. They've wrapped it up really tight so nobody can watch it who doesn't have the right ISP.

This sux. We had better coverage back in 1969. I did get a tweet that said the #45 Flying Lizards car got rear ended by a Ferrari on the warmup lap, never made it to the green flag, and spent the first hour of the race in the pits!

audi Tv doesnt have a live feed its just a bunch of audi ads/videos. some stuff about the program for sebring but no live coverage.


the alms site is working for me. so far - can pick coverage from Green Hornet racing and Paul Miller Racing porsches & others companys plus the live feed with scrolling timing and scoring

The original live coverage on Speed was so good and one could use a DVR to record. This "experiment" by ALMS has been a disaster IMHO.

No kidding. As I searched my DVR I thought "man, there has to be more than 2 fricking hours of coverage...." - nope. Still am an ALMS fan much more so than Grand Am, but holy cow ALMS .... 2 hours of crap makes it damned hard to be a fan. Stupid.
