Formula 1 streaming
 

Any suggestions on best ways to stream the F1 qualifying/races?

I haven't got cable or any other TV service anymore so just want to watch them over the Internet. I don't mind paying some money but don't want to get a TV service hooked up again just for this.

It looks like NBC Sports is only available online if you already have a participating TV service.

Your best bet is probably a VPN and BBC iPlayer. There are lots of posts on the forum about this. Just search for "VPN".

Yeah, I had a VPN setup last year, but BBC have only got a few of the races this year. The rest have gone to Sky. That's why I was wondering if they are streamed anywhere.

Doing a google search sends you through a forest of pop ups and dodgy looking websites.

I believe if you're connected to a uk server through VPN then you can purchase the 'sky go' service for a month - the sports only package is available for a reasonable price. You can research further, here's the link:http://go.sky.com/vod/page/default/home.do

If it's sports and on tele, this is usually the best bet.

Don't know how good these are, but I've cribbed the links from one of the better Formula 1 groups on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/allf1fans/

Thanks all. Plenty to try out there.

I can put up with missing my family but I can't put up with missing my F1 :D

Thanks for the links...useful stuff.
I used to go to quite a few races back in the 70's/80's/early 90's, but kind of lost interest when the focus switched from who would win to who will come second behind Schumacher...its getting a bit more interesting the last couple of seasons, and with the Austin GP just up the road later in the year, I'm hoping to get my boys interested enough to want to go.

OT slightly, but a question on the Beeb opening credits ....one year there was a series of stills showing a car being put together ground up sitting on blocks in a pit garage, obviously with The Chain playing, then at the end it spins its wheels and roars off. I've tried to find it on Youtube and drawn a blank - can anyone remember when it was?
