Hi Guys,

Thanks for your feedback, some points regarding your comments below...

Signal
I'm surprised to hear coverage at BN was not good. Also we've had people tell us they recieved excellent coverage at Tetre Rouge while others claim there was virtually no signal at all. Something we will have to look into next year.

Timing
We rely on a third party to suplly us with a timing feed. Clearly it did not work out. In F1 our timing is provided directly from FOM and is incredibly accurate...so much so that every F1 team has units in their garage. We will definately be asking the ACO to provide us with a direct timing feed moving forward.

Onboards
We are trying to get more on board camera feeds for next year...this year the ACO only gave us access to 8.

Returning the unit
The kiosk behind Grandstand 23 got slammed with returns. It was our first time having a kiosk at this location so we did not know what to expect and staffed it the same as our paddock kiosk. We know for next year this kiosk will need double the staff to handle returns. As Bas mentioned it should only be a 10 second job. Also we are discussing with the ACO to have several more distribution points throughout the circuit next year to make pickup and return that much easier. 

Dukla - "Remain to be convinced myself" - 8 out of 9 people on this thread said they would use it again...with only one on the fence...don't you think you should try something before you knock it

Cheers

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!

Hey Gordonwr

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

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.

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.

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
