Is it free in the states? Get a VPN and it's free

Best way to guarantee seeing the whole race including quali is to get the WEC app, you can pay on an individual race basis.

HOWEVER,

I have the season package, the first two races I had no problems, when it got the the Spa race, issues.
Between Imola and Spa they introduced WEC TV, which the app transfers you to. I had major problems making this run properly using Chrome on my iMac.
I did find a work round, it ran fine on my iPhone and iPad, so I airdropped it to my iMac or Apple tv, bingo.
Might only be a mac problem and I had replaced my 10 year old iMac between Imola and Spa so now running the latest IOS. WEC have been notified of the issues I have had and are looking into it, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hi Ian

I did read somewhere that this years WEC races are on Discovery+, accessed via Amazon Prime app if you have that on your TV/PC, but I have yet to investigate.

Best wishes

Discovery+ (APP or online login) £6.99 per month or 7 Day free trial.
Used this last year, coverage was good.
Broadcasting whole race, but schedule currently not available online. 

Or VPN to French server and L’Equipe TV broadcasting all WEC races in full for free.

I'm assuming Eurosport are still broadcasting LM - they're owned by Discovery/Warner Bros.

I'm told that a UK TV, with HD (or a French set-top box) should get French TV - any views?

I'm more worried about the practice.  The free German satellite Eurosport showed Tennis last year.  Will they or L'Equipe show the practice?

The Race was early last year and clashed with the French open and the tennis got priority. No clash this year so German Eurosport should be showing the same coverage as the WEC app, all sessions from Thursday onwards.
