Sebring: video on broadband
I posted this in the Sebring thread, but I think it deserves to be noticed by all on its own:
On video for those of you not subscribing to Speed: It would appear that Speed's OnBoard Pass is going to be paid for by Acura tomorrow. I received this via a Speed TV email, I don't know what is up with it because Speed's Online Free Races / On Board Pass area isn't fully up to date. I logged on to the system, and lo and behold Sebring is listed in the Online Free Races, but there's nothing listed (at all!) for the On Board Pass... Nevertheless, the email specifically says SATURDAY 03/17 Highlights AMERICAN LE MANS SERIES: 12 HOURS OF SEBRING (LIVE) Free OnBoard Pass Event Sponsored By Acura 9:30AM ET AND 2:30PM ET So, I'm inclined to think that it might show up in the OnBoard Pass section come race day. http://gms.speedtv.com/ It costs nothing to register. |

Do I sign up in the link above? I entered my e-mail address and clicked "sign up" and it took me to another page where I had to enter my name and password but there's no "subscribe" button there. Am I doing something wrong?! |

No it's all good now - I'm a Firefox user but that site demands IE use.

OK, apologies for my dimness - can you do that again in a language I understand Sam?
It is live video coverage? |

But yes, it's a live streaming (television) feed for those without SpeedTV or MotorsTV. The bonus is that Acura are paying Speed the subscription for it to be made 'free to air'. |

Speed tv homepage says that it's the onboard pass that's free. Very cool, there's no such thing as too much onboard footage to me.
