    I will. I've watched every session this season. I've already bought a few cans of red bull to keep me going.

    There are other ways to help you stay awake. Anything but Red Bull, please.

    I'll be watching when you guys normally watch it. It's the old "switcheroo".

    should point out it's 3:30 in the morning here but I can't sleep. Good signs for practice :p
    EDIT: @chrispa - the switcheroo is just a funny way of saying two things have switched around.

    Fore those that want to follow the BBC broadcast through their website but reside outside the UK, go and download expatshield and you can watch how much BBC TV you like. Also all recorded shows at the BBC iPlayer Website. Every TV show are uploaded to iPlayer usually from 30 minutes to a few hours after it has been aired and stays for one week before it gets removed.

    Sometime expatshield is extremely slow and the video will stop to buffer a lot, and sometimes you have to re-connect several times to be connected to a better router(less trafficked). If so Then you can instead install an add-on for firefox called Foxyproxy and then very easily just enter an IP from a UK proxy on this list. They usually work a bit better and without ads(contrary to expatshield that has some minor ads), but you could need to go through a few of them before you find a good one (all of them don't work and they frequently change for obvious reasons). Important to know is that this method is not really legal, though nobody can touch you ;)

    Hope I helped someone and good luck :)

    FP1 no chance, FP2 is only on 1 hour earlier than I get up for work so no problem there, if anyone watches both live then much respect! What I hate about these races is that you don't get any lay in for the weekend, but it must be done.

    That one is too slow, there are much better VPN's than that but there is a small monthly fee for using them, here is some info.

    Same, even though, all the European races and Canada were hell for me, we've come to the flyaway races which are good for me. Sleep would be greatly appreiated at the moment but I can't get any. I'd probably sleep through both practices though anyway :D

    Thank you!

    So far expat has worked pretty well for me though. Sometimes it is hell but then I also frequently update my free UK proxies list so I always have a few backups should one go down. But I have been thinking about getting a pay vpn account and be able to skip all the fuzz with slow proxies. Though I never really checked how cheap they are, and I see that now. I will definitely look into this further and try to find a VPN that suits my needs.
