Default How do you watch the Nurburgring webcam?

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........

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.
