Used to be
They finally "begged/borrowed/stole" enough content to make it worth my coin.
I was totally against it and would watch FTA or stream all the V8, F1, MotoGP, WSBK etc but damn - they do real well with it all now and have so much additional content for each of those that I find it worthwhile.
Have the app on 3 laptops and a couple of phones/tablets (3/5 devices included with the STB/Sub) as well, so can have the races in whatever room/little room/patio/camp site I want to be at to watch it.
Let me know another way to watch practices, qualifying, support classes and the actual races live and I'll happily ditch the subscription.
