Video Live Stream at the TGP at Nürburgring

09. July 2012Five races in seven weeks: The truck racers have never had such a tight schedule, however, they can not wait for the next race, the Truck Grand Prix at Nürburgring. The Truck Grand Prix is not only one of the 11 races of the FIA Truck Racing Championship (in this season), it is the race of the season and the highlight of every season. Up to 250.000 fans flock into the Eifel to enjoy a mixture of motorsport, industries fair, shows and concerts. The “adventure tickets”, with which one can ride as a co-driver in a race truck, have, of course, been sold out for months. The first reservations for next year have already been made and the tickets for the Mercedes-stands have already been purchased. All other tickets (gold, silver and bronze) are still available. However, not every fan has the opportunity to be so close to the action. That’s why ADAC Mittelrhein and bartscher.net will do a live stream of all practise sessions and races for the fifth time in a row and people are this able to watch them on the Internet. Last year 48,803 user logged in on the live stream for almost 24 hours a day. Apparently they were worried that once they logged out they would not be able to get back on the server. However, the server capacity was increased. Overall there are 38 servers in a redundant group of servers in use in several data centers. Only two servers are managing the incoming enquiries and distribute those evenly to the other 36 servers. This digimago technology achieves that even if the server is working to capacity, the enquiries will be dealt with as soon as possible, but that all servers are fully working to capacity. This whole procedure is extremely expensive and only possible with the support of different teams and sponsors:
Castrol Team Hahn Racing
(Driver: Jochen Hahn)
Truck Sport Lutz Bernau
(Driver: Antonio Albacete and Dominique Lacheze)
Reinert Racing
(Driver: René Reinert)

as well as TRO – Truck Racing Organization, ADAC Mittelrhein and bartscher.net. The video live stream will not only be broadcasted on truckracing.de / truckrace.info, but also on all other websites of involved teams and sponsors. Both commentator of TGP,
Jörg Hennig und Hans-Joachim Ebertz, are already looking forward to welcoming thousands of truck racing fans around the world and to enthuse them with truckracing.
