I love the idea and I really enjoy watching racing games as an eSport. Unfortunately I didn’t get to see the event, because it was on Facebook. Apparently it was broadcast on TV in the UK, but I don’t live in the UK!
They need to think a bit more internationally (Facebook is quickly evaporating in non-English speaking parts of the world).
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to rebroadcast the stream on F1.com? At least then we know there is a centralised place you can go, regardless of where you are from.
This is a comment echoed on Twitter today, lots of people mentioning a similar barrier to seeing the races. Also just as many people complaining that F1 Esports should have its own page and website rather than being mixed with the motorsport. This will be a contentious issue as Esports expand.
