Floracing is a total joke. Both Bridgeport features were totally screwed up with audio problems. I've watched many different races with them and a lot have been ruined with video jumping or audio problems. They better get their act together or they are going to ,lose a lot of customers.

Think about what you had three years ago...nothing. Speed 51 attempted, but was absolutely terrible. Flo relies 100% on the internet. If their connection is flawed, the show is flawed. If your connection is flawed, the show is flawed.  Enjoy what we have and there will be glitches. 

Tracks got away with mediocre sound equipment, now they need broadcast quality, that most don't have. It effects the audio portion of the show. They also need to step up track appearance because now it is a TV show that requires clean site lines. Times have changed because of COVID and the need for the video percentages the tracks recieve from the broadcasts, not to mention sponsorship opportunites because of a larger audience because of the broadcasts.

Relax man. It was a simple microphone issue that was probably the tracks fault. They ain't losing anybody for $12.50 a month.

They will lose viewers even at 12.50, I watch certain cars and tracks so far 2 shows were messed up. I'm gonna hang on due to this being simple growing pains, but if you see the same problems at the same tracks, then they did nothing or they failed at fixing it. One would hope the major stockholders know about it and are trying to resolve it.  The sound is the biggest thing, luckily for me I know most of the competitors so I can follow pretty good. A bigger issue for me is sometimes that get camera hoggy on one driver or a race farther in the back of the back lap after lap instead of doing more even canvassing

I got floracing so I could watch Bridgeport on Saturday. Because of my health I can't go anymore. Usually the event is broadcast with no problems. Georgetown is totally screwed up. I don't understand why they don't fix the problem there.

How do you watch?  I use Fire Stick plugged into the back of my TV's and it's 99% good, very few problems. Pretty easy to navigate. 

One thing I learned if you are streaming at home is, turn off wi-fi on any phones because it uses up internet and turn off any other device using wi-fi and leave doors open to the room you are in so the wi-fi travels. Some of the wi-fi amplifiers that are pretty cheap and simply plug into the wall works pretty good too.

The only times I've ever had a problem with the sound, is when I'm watching at home on the laptop. So for 20 some dollars, a pair of stereo speakers that plug into the computer solved  that problem. Question, does Flo use the tracks system or do they have their ownthat they bring along?

As for the quality of the broadcast in general. Keep in mind, that it's an Internet streaming service and is based on the quality of the connection (as I understand these things). The only time I've ever had streaming problems on the phone, is when I'm watching a broadcast in areas where the Internet and phone service is sketchy on a good day. I just assume that that's where the issue lies and take that into consideration. Simple solution errors I just watch it later when I'm in a better area.

FloRacing is the best $150 I have ever spent.
