Nice update on the nationals website. Easy to navigate.

Should be a great season ahead.

Bring this stuff on!

One would hope that the live streaming would be considerably better than the single camera effort at Sandown.
Live streaming has heaps of potential even if it's audio only as Radio Le Mans has shown.

Will make the trip to Wakefield next Saturday to watch what is an impressive field of starters in the Sports Sedans. Going to miss the Ricciardello Alfa though.

F3 starters don't look too good? No Matt Sofi? Must definately be doing the V8 thing. Has he sold that F3 yet?

[alfacors]

Last I heard, the car Sofi was planning to buy had been sold/leased to someone else.

It was a typical Wakefield day there today weather wise. Rain, wind, cold, sun, warm. The only thing missing was the sleet and snow.

Thanks Shane, just what I needed to hear.....

That is the plan at this stage. We have an OB van with 4 cameras for Wakefield Park, and are hoping to have the same for the other rounds.

We have our own basic cameras outside the Media Centre to keep an eye on things, much like we did at Sandown looking out of the commentary office.

Four cameras is obviously better than one, but Sandown wasn't awful with one camera. It wouldn't work at all tracks though.

[plug]Don't forget that the live TV stream is happening from Wakefield Park today at www.puremotorsport.tv, some really good racing going on here![/plug]

The live streaming works brilliantly, even some live graphics - great work guys.

I just watched the Sports Sedans on the 'puter.
Good depth in the field , great racing and the cameras caught everything.
Refreshing to see that the safety car wasn't called despite the cars in the sandtraps at both ends of the main straight.

Well done puremotorsport. Apart from the glitch in R3 Sports Sedans it was fantastic to be able to watch the race live and with commentary. Hope this is the start of something big for you guys.
