Indycar.com Live View
Can anyone actually watch the live video on indycar.com? Mine has to buffer every 5 seconds so its unbearable to watch. I have a pretty decent internet connection so I know it's not on my end. It's been like this for a couple years now, I'd think they'd catch on by now.
INDY!

There is a thread on another track forum to give feedback on. I usually put it on the wifes laptop and the vid plays pretty good. (Dual Core Vista 2Gig 10Mb connection...)

It played ok here. I only watched the last half hour. It stopping playing after the Moraes incident with Wheldon, after a minute or two I had to refresh the page and it worked ok again. I agree that it's not the best live video platform, requires a good amount of computer power and bandwidth.

As I don't have Sky and I live in the UK, internet feeds are my only chance to watch this series now. The races on ABC were on some internet feed, though the last one stopped working and I missed the end of the race. For the Verses ones IndyCar.com is my only way of seeing it, and that really only ever shows the leader from a helicopter shot.
Anyway, I might have considered staying in on Saturday night to watch this had the race not been at 9 PM Eastern - that's 2 AM here!!! Why's it so late in the US?

You can watch the Texas race tonight on Indycar.com but it will be mostly in-car cams and wide shots, it won't be the VS broadcast. But it will be watchable, and will have the IMS radio team announcing, so it's an ok alternative if you don't have VS.
Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
