Install this app

http://www.pplive.com

Nearly all the channels are chinese and korean but if you go here
http://pplive.uw.hu/starsports.html

and click one of the tracker links, it'll run star sports which shows the F1 live. Then just add it to your favourites in pplive. :)

The qualifying is on now.

For what page?

You have to install the pplive program before clicking the tracker link.

I have downloaded the program, updated the codecs and i click on the 2nd link you provided.

Which tracker link did you guys use?
The 4 links at the top got to a "page cant be displayed" link
The Links at the bottom all open up Windows Media Player but says it cant open file.

Do I need the program running when I click the link?

I'm confuselbubbled.

I clicked on teh second link and it fired up Mdeia player and there was live action there.
Did you make sure that the ppthingy was not blocked by the firewall ?
You can still test it, its basket ball now.

More than likely reallised what a draw card it is now. This is Qual as its ment to be. That hot lapping was shit.

I think sooner than later we will see the last part of qualifying play out the same as the first 2 "sessions", thus elimnating this drive slow and get rewarded bs. Then it will be Qualifying as it was meant to be :)

Cheers for the link by the way Darren, hopefully we wont need to use it for future rounds though.

That was awesome information, thanks! I always wanted to find a way to get Star Sports and now, thanks to you, I've discovered this whole torrent streaming, I've found a few channels I've always wished I could watch. Most important, you got me in the good books of a possible future mother in law. :yes:
