FIA WEC

I paid for a season subscription for WEC races through this app and my credit card was immediately hacked. Thankfully, my cc’s fraud protection program alerted me to the big charges from the french retailer’s website quickly. Think twice before subscribing to WEC. Love the racing; the web interface, not so much Subsequent to this review, I found that the US and Canada were Geo-Blocked from the Le Mans 24 hour race...I purchased a $42 full subscription from all of the races in the calendar through the Apple app. Now, the most significant portion of that subscription is void because FIA WEC has elected to make a separate agreement with another broadcast provider in the US and Canada (Velocity and MTC). Both providers require a separate subscription fee for their services. The FIA WEC should have at least credited my subscription to a new account at Velocity or MTC, but apparently they did not consider that....or did they? The FIA WEC apparently believes the quality of their races worthy of an $80 US subscription. The recently completed Le Mans 24hr doesn't support that position.

If you live in the USA, beware. Live streaming of the races advertised in this app is blocked to fans in theUnited States. I renewed my subscription this year, 2018, as I have used this app since 2015 without any issues. Then this year I learned from a fellow racing fan in France that live streaming has been blocked to the United States! I have attempted to resolve this issue with the WEC/24H LeMans people for weeks. After being ignored, then given the runaround I contacted APPLE Customer Service who promptly refunded the money I paid for this useless piece of software. As far as I can tell they are still making this app available for purchase in the USA without any disclaimer that it cannot be used to livestream the advertised races this year. BUYER BEWARE!

The live coverage was the best in years past. Right now, I am trying to watch the 24 hours of Le Mans, and the video (that I paid for) will not play! Total catastrophe! I contacted them to find out why. It turns out the races are only available on the Velocity channel in the US for 2018. So what did I pay for with my very expensive subscription (more expensive than last year, when I was actually able to watch live, uninterrupted races). They refuse to refund my subscription. CROOKS!

I purchased the Spa race broadcast and paid $5.29 for it on May 5th. The video wouldn’t play so I wrote there customer service who state, “the broadcast is geo-blocked as the broadcast is available on Velocity and MotortrendOnDemand app. Why they are allowed to charge and collect money for content that is geo blocked makes no sense. Obviously, there broadcast partners require the geo-blocking, but they advertise, charge and collect payment in the app for services they are not able to provide. Don’t buy the races.

I paid for a season pass using this app, looking forward to watching the races as I have every other year. The streaming doesn’t work. The app makers now inform me streaming is blocked in the US because of their new TV deal. This is not mentioned in their app description. This is not mentioned in their press release. This seems an awful lot like fraud, though I cannot be sure. I want my $45 refunded. I don’t have cable TV anyway, and have no interest in getting it.
