Unfortunately I signed up with RLM on Sunday  ::)

just had a check can't see it's any different to the 55 euro's I paid. wonder if it's 30% off the on the day price  ???

I checked on their web site a few days ago, and the price was more than 55 euros - can't rember how much it was.

Anyway, good call and I've just reserved one

Del

IIRC, they where about 80 last year, just reserved me one for this year. :)

Did it work back on Bleu Nord last year?

As far as I know yes, but worth checking with QV as he was using one last year.

 How long does the battery last on the kangaroo tv

 ive just reserved my kangaroo tv

Last year they did work on BN.

IIRC, you get at least one spare battery with you, and can exchange empty ones as often as you wish. No idea on how long the battery wil last.

I heard they last around 6 hours so at least 3 pit stops for the race

Can you plug them into the telly for when your back at base.

Whoops, maybe I should have checked the coverage map before ordering as it appears the coverage only covers a small part of Expo which is where I am camping.

Ah well.

just reserved one as well.

excellent performance last year on BN

Don't think they have any outputs I'm afraid.

I just reserved one for Team SAS on BN.

Just reserved one too. Anyone knows when to pick them up - or when they start to broadcast? Race only or also the practice sessions?

Cheers

You <could> use a video camera wired to the TV to film the screen, but it'd probably be completely w**k.

Wednesday onwards, I think, Werner.

Deb is correct - their website says 9th to 13th.

I had to e-mail the Kangaroo lot and they were very helpful so I suggested they log on here to answer any questions about the kit etc.  A guy called Craig may thus pop up on here shortly.

Hi guys/girls,

Thanks for all the interest in Kangaroo TV at Lemans 24h.

Deb let me know about this thread so I wanted to jump on and answer your questions...

"Anyone know when to pick them up - or when they start to broadcast? Race only or also the practice sessions"
- each rental includes use from Wednesday to Sunday. You can collect your unit as soon as the gates open on Wednesday
- We have full coverage of practice, qualifying and race

Save up to 30%
- the rental cost has been reduced by over 30% from last year. In 2009 a unit rental was 80eu, this year it is only 55eu.
- Generally the price to rent a unit onsite is more expensive than pre-reserving. That said the onsite price for 2010 is still TBD but it will not be less than 55eu.

"Did it work back on Bleu Nord last year?"
- Yes, we have excellent coverage at Bleu Nord
- Our coverage map can be found on our website at http://kangaroo.tv/kangaroo-sports/lemans.php
- We guarantee excellent reception within the highlighted areas of the coverage map. Outside of that you can still receive good signal just not excellent i.e. Last year Porsche curves had good coverage although it was not highlighted on the coverage map.

"No idea on how long the battery wil last."
-Batteries last up to 6 hours and you can swap exhausted batteries for a fresh one at either of our kiosk locations
- With every unit rental we provide a spare battery, battery charger and earphones

"Can you plug them into the telly for when your back at base."
 - the audio will work but not the video.

I think that covers everything but if I have missed something or you have additional questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Also for those interested in renting a unit for the event be sure to reserve before June 1st for a chance to win 2 pit lane passes with full paddock access.

Cheers
Craig

Et Voilà!

Thanks Deb, thanks Craig, that answers all my questions. I'll use the info to update the wiki for our CA Guide

Cheers

Werner

Thanks Craig (and Deb), just reserved one.

will reserve on, but cant find link

help, anyone?

here you go... http://kangaroo.tv/kangaroo-sports/lemans.php

Craig, where will you guys be located at the track, same as per usual?

If I have prebooked a unit what do I need to take with me to pick it up?  Do I need to find my reservation email?

I've gotten a barcode mailed after reservation, and on that it states 'bring this barcode, a valid Credit Card (Mastercard, Visa or American Express) and Identification to a Kangaroo TV kiosk'

 I don't seem to be able to get that far. Have registered, gone through the process but nothing tells me my request has been accepted.
Any clues folks?

You did get to the payment options?

our main kiosk will be in the same spot as usual in the main vending area. Where still waiting on confirmation for the location of the second kiosk. Once both have been confirmed we'll send out an email with a map.

Yes please print the email confirmation and bring it with you to collect your unit. There should be a bar code in the email which we need to scan. FYI...if you forget/lose your email confirmation it is not a big deal as your name is recorded in our pos system.

Hey Gordonwr

flip me a dm with your name and I can check to see if your order went through or not.

good communication going on here!

excellent

Hi Craig,

Just ordered mine after seeing this thread and suspect I have typed in my wrong email address (I know, I know) so don;t have the confirmation email.

I have PM'd you the reference (and other my proper email address). Any chance you can track it down for me and re-send the confirmation email (with barcode) once again.

Thanks,

Tony

All sorted now, thanks Craig. Barcode rec'd and ready to go.

Is it still really 3 weeks away............

Tony

Well, no actually. Most of us will be home again in 3 weeks.
I should be on Houx with Bas and co in two weeks time.

Do you MIND!   Don't remind us that it will all soon be over again.  It's just too depressing.

You're obviously a glass half empty person.
I wake up on the Monday morning and think "Great" only another 359 days till it all kick off again.   ;D ;D ;D

t

Wow, that's definitely a "glass half full" attitude ;D

And you shall be on Houx and on T19 as the tickets have arrived today.


To try and keep this thread remotely on topic, we have reserved a KangarooTV unit just like last year.  ;)

I'll be waking up Monday morning knowing I've got 48 hours before my gall bladder gets taken out!

And I'm leaving it up to you lot to keep my glass well over half full.


Kangaroo ordered. :)  On which subject, I think Craig and his folk have been great in their response to our questions and problems.  Nice to be treated well even whilst your being hit in the wallet!

Anytime Termietermite! If you see a sober guy driving around on a golf cart wearing KTV gear make sure to stop him and say hello!

I think we'll recognise you already for being sober on a golf cart Craig. ;D
