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
