After the mid season break, the teams of the International GT Championship return to action for a four hour race on the fast, treacherous Westhill International track.

Championship standings are close at the top, with first to fifth separated by 30 points. The season so far has been wild, with many safety cars at Blackwood and Aston North, the two usual suspects. Westhill however has only given IGTC one safety car each in the last two years, for cars stuck in the gravel trap outside of Turn 4. With the relatively thin racing line, and no room for error - a wheel off almost certainly means a shunt into the armco - the chance of a Safety Car to help your race here is minimal.

Tune into the stream, starting at around 18:40 UTC or so for the race. We won't be covering qualifying live, but you can of course follow it on LFS Remote and the spdoRacing Host Tracker.

We're on multiBC Stream III: http://www.multibc.com/SIM/streamiii

We hope you'll tune in !

Cool, gonna watch that

I know it's a dumb question, but how do you open the stream using the external link in the VLC player? I've tried before, and it didn't work.

It is indeed a dumb question. After all everybody should have a degree in IT...

There are at least two ways of doing that. The easiest, although not necessarily the 'easiest' but easiest to execute, is to copy the link of the stream, open VLC, select media -> open network stream (or press ctrl+n), paste the copied address to the field and press play.

Thank you Timo.

Stream is on, you may start to tune in. We'll start properly in just a few minutes.

Thanks for the stream, was great fun to watch it during the 2 first hours

My apologies for screwing up the end, I accidentally pressed a key to change my LFS resolution, and it caused so much trouble and strife for my computer that it locked up, so I couldn't change the cameras in time to see the battle for whatever position Kursk and Wilko etc were at. not that I heard about it until I heard in Vent "Wow what a battle".

Yeah you got me taking it over the line and thats never good.

Round 5 broadcast tonight yay!
