Its that time of the year again for the hilly track of Spa Francorchamps to host the greatest GT1 race of the year. I was wondering if anyone will be catching the FIA GT race at Spa next weekend? I thought I would make a thread for discussion. So far, 55 GT cars are on the entry list, which looks great for race day.

Is there going to be any Live Streaming for this years race?

Is there going to be any Live Streaming for this years race?

I certainly hope so! Gt1live.com seems to usually provide live streaming of most, if not all, FIA-GT sessions. Pretty good quality, too. I've only seen one race live, Oschersleben and there was no commentary for whatever reason, except the pit reporter's occasional bits. Nice for a while, but sometimes I'd like to have somebody tell me what's happening that I can't see. I read on another forum that CorvetteMotorsport.com would have a feed of at least their own on-board camera.

So while I can't say officially - scratch that, gt1live just interrupted an Oschersleben replay to show "next live broadcast" and all Spa sessions were listed starting I think the 31st. It said it's live for the whole 24 hours. Personally, I would like to find a way to get commentary as well, if possible. I'm a bit new to FIA-GT so I'm figuring it out as I go along.

For those interested in the Vettes, Corvette Motorsport will be "Corvette HQ" for the race. They will be at the track feeding the site with live updates. They will also be the only website showing a C6R onboard video stream via their site (standalone feed). Live timing, chat rooms, and other content will be available.
