I am thinking of downloading an App for the race to access official timings/classifications whilst track side.  Has anybody tried any of the various offerings before? Any recommendations?

WEC app is ok for live timing but if you are at the circuit you will find that the bandwidth is strangled so it does not work that well. That probably can be said for all apps too unless you can find a good wifi spot.

What wifi is available at the circuit?

Is there any that is free or only through ACO membership?

And if so, what do you get as basic ACO membership?

None that I am aware of. Hence why I said if you can find any wifi. Maybe one of the local bars may have something.

Bandwidth very poor at the circuit, just to many people trying to use it, if you can find a hub to use.
4G might work better, but I don't have a lot of experience using it, rely on Radio Le Mans and the big screens.

If you have ACO membership, there is wifi at their 'enclosures' (although not in the ACO tribunes).  It requires a one off access code and is pretty lousy.
In my opinion, another reason why I dropped my membership.

Paul or Russell are the people to ask, they use their phones a lot whilst on the circuit.

ACO are continually improving things at the circuit, but in past years I've had trouble getting a 2G signal.

Last year the App never worked for me, it was possibly due to bandwidth issues.
It never updated.
Wifi is virtually non-existent in previous years, and as my Le Man buddy is no longer an ACO member, we don't get into their areas with Wifi anymore.

I am a Three customer, so the Feel at Home service works OK for email and Messaging services, and I use a Thee MiFi as well. Neither of these are good enough to stream video in my experience.

Unless there's a massive improvement in bandwidth then the simple answer is no.

4G was available last year on Weds and Thurs and I guess Fri but I wasn't on site much then.  Saturday & Sunday you can forget it

I'm sure that I saw a local WiFi on Houx last year - did anyone use it?
