The chase team are now stateside preparing for the arrival of the tour 1 guests this afternoon, part of those preparations will be to set up the vehicles with the mobile internet in order to stream the action live..

This year we've made a number of improvements for the streaming; we have 2 connections available to us now + we're using external antennas so the connection quality will be boosted significantly, and in areas where one provider may struggle we can switch to another one. We also have live gps tracking enabled this year, so you'll have up to the minute info on where the team are, as well as this we have live doppler radar overlaid onto the tracker map so you can even see their position in relation to any severe weather..

The live streaming page can be found here:

As well as the live video stream, the team will be regularly uploading their videos to the highlights player - with a highlights video + briefings uploaded on most days. To help to whet the appetite for this year's tour, Nick Finnis has created a brief highlights video from the last 3 tours which has some amazing footage in there, you can view it and all the other highlights as they're uploaded here:

We hope you enjoy following the chasers this year :rolleyes:

Absolutely brilliant! Loved watching it last year even with the connection issues, this year should be brilliant. Perfect distraction from exam revision :rolleyes:

Something odd is happening on mine. I press play on the main video screen, I get the advert, then I get about 10 seconds of streaming and then it cuts back to the main video screen again.

Edit: It's ok now.

Hi Mick & Others

No Streaming tonight as we are at the Hotel, going out for Dinner and Bowling tonight.

But this time tomorrow we should be in the thick of things with a Good risk of Storms and Chasing

Regards

Try a hard refresh on the page - ctrl+f5

Also, if you're running ad blockers or anything like that, they may be clashing with it, so try it with those switched off.
