How do you watch the Nurburgring webcam?

BMW_M5 · October 2nd, 2007, 3:55 PM

Just wanted to know how you watch it?

Do you keep a window open in your browser? Do you use a widget?

BTW is there a yahoo widget for the webcam?

Thanks.

With your eyes..............

On a serious note the one of Ben Lovejoys site refreshes every two minutes so you'd waste about 1m 50 before the next image comes........

I always seem to tune in when its closed (when I get back from school) or when there is some kind of event going on. Its very rarely public cars that I see.

I like to turn the lights down low, put on a chill out cd and open a bottle of red...

I trust that anything worth seeing will be posted in the thread on this here site so I just go there. Basically, I let everyone else to all the hard work while I sit back with a cold one. images/smilies/dance.gif

for a while i had the webcam set as the background on my computer using active desktop I had a timer set to refresh it and everything. after a while though i realized that because of the time difference all i would ever really see was a dark track during the time i tended to use the computer so got rid of it.

Same here. Thrill at the still night! This what I look at weeknights when I am on the computer:

I like to sit on the bench next to the little house where they sell the tickets and just stare at it, but it never really seems to do anything interesting images/smilies/blink.gif
