So lets do the corn cob double. (which sounds more dirty than it actually is)

We'll watch the race and chat live with jitsi. (for those that missed it, jitsi is the open source version of zoom.)

If you join the chat with a desktop or laptop there is no software to download, its all done in your browser. Anything mobile like your phone or tablet, you will have to download the jitsi meet app, avail for free on both apple and android.

There are more detailed instructions here: https://www.offcamber.net/forums/showthread.php?19263-F1-Austrian-GP-x2-chat-call-for-qualifying-and-race-9-am-edt-Sat-11th-and-Sun-12th

The chat room is https://meet.jit.si/offcamberdotnet

Once you go to that page, your browser will ask to temporarily allow camera/microphone. Say yes, and then click join meeting. Thats it. Good strong internet is recommended, so wired connections is best, but jitsi has options to lower quality to help framerate.

We had three last week, hope to see a few more.

Thanks for setting this up!:thumbup:

I'll pop in and say hi for the pre-race. I won't catch the actual race until tomorrow morning (replay on NBC Sports Gold).

guys guys guys... if i'm willing to do it.....

well, to be honest, everyone left chat by the first pit stops.... :saywhat:

You can jump in, and when it asks for permission to use a webcam, say no. But do try to keep the microphone on, makes chatting alot easier. :gomer:

You too rick, I hope you jump in even for 5 minutes... to be honest we've mostly been talking old times instead of actual current on track stuff... :rofl:

Sounds like fun. I never know what time it is on Sundays but I'll try to make it in sometime.
