(REQUESTS) DriftStream, Formula D Live-Video Coverage for 2011

[driftstream]

Hey guys..

I just wanted to reach out and get your feedback on this year and maybe some things next year you would like to see... We can't promise anything but you guys made driftstream a monumental success this year. We have BIG plans for next year and value your input..

So.. a couple of things you like this year and a what you didnt' like.. and some ideas for next year..

I think every event got better and better. Multipple camera angles, info popping up, replays, it was pretty awesome.

The only complaint was sometimes the camera would be neglected at the start of a run or lose focus... im sure thats just gonna happen.

I really enjoyed watching when i could. On the laptop and iphone.

The live feed kept crashing the browser on my android phone. What I watched on my computer was great

Awesome thanks for the feedback.. We should have a full compliment of camera peeps next year fully dedicated to our broadcast..

If you were watching on wifi.. it should have been fine.. but on 3g it probably wouldn't work as well.. next year we will have a dedicated mobile feed that will work much better..

On my Mac it was perfect but when I watched on my Jtv iphone app wifi or 3G, it would freeze up constantly.

One thing I would like to see is more graphics displaying the qualifying scores, top 32 match ups and updated brackets.

Perspective from sweden.

The only thing i want for next year is an clock. Becuse ist hard to know which time its starts. To many differnce timezones and you need to calkylate evry time.

so an schedule for evry timezone or use gom global time or somethin.

Thanks

yea maybe like a crawl with the qualifying scores in order as they sit, with the position/name/score.

so you can see on the bottom:

Did you check out Irwindale event.. we did have a new scoring system running and did have a leaderboard scrolling at top and bottom of screen./..

We def want to incorporate this feature full time next year..

make it easier to find the old footage. I come back after the event and watch pretty much all the runs that i didnt see, but its hard to find.

For sure Alex.. I think the driftstream hub next year in my perfect world will have driver profiles and a search box to find any and all runs tagged with "Alex Pfeiffer" etc..

haha the only event i couldnt watch at all during pro times... only saw a tad bit of the proams.

sweet then, you got it covered^^

I didn't have a chance to catch the irwindale stream since I was at the event. But the sonoma one was pretty awesome.

Small things I would change...

DIGGER CAM!!!!!!!

We need that

Second, maybe slightly more detailed specs about the machines when the drivers are on the line

Weight

Horsepower

Tire make and model

Engine Type


Third, when something big happens (contact,malfunction, crazy run) switch over to radio chatter... but not just the FD radio but the Team's radio. Talk to Belle-1 about that I guess.

Fourth, maybe a hot pit cam? I think you guys have one but you never switch over to it, its good filler on those 15 min breaks between runs

Awesome 2010 season, cant wait til 2011
