Use the FIA WEC event’s session timetable, local coverage notes and timing tools to follow a race or replay.

Read the race-weekend table from top to bottom

An endurance round has several different things you might want to watch. The FIA WEC’s Monza guide, for example, lists free practice, separate qualifying entries and the race, with times identified as local to the circuit. That distinction is useful when you want to see a specific class qualify. Write down the session and class from the official weekend guide before opening a broadcaster’s app.

Check your time zone carefully. A six-hour race can cross a meal, a commute or midnight at home even when it fits into the organiser’s afternoon. Save both the scheduled start and the likely end in your calendar. For qualifying, also note whether you want the initial session, Hyperpole or both when the event timetable lists those separately.

Pick the correct screen and coverage window

What you are trying to watchWhere to look
A specific class in qualifyingThe exact class and qualifying session in the weekend guide
The whole endurance raceThe broadcaster entry or FIAWEC+ listing with its full coverage window
Gaps and positions across classesFIA WEC’s timing screen and the class labels
The race after it finishesA full replay entry with the event date and runtime

The FIA WEC publishes viewing information by territory. Check the particular round because a local TV window and a streaming entry can describe different amounts of coverage. If the listing has a start and finish time, compare that window to the race length. Look for a stated live or replay option on the exact service before making plans around it.

Keep video and timing separate

A timing feed can make a long race easier to follow, especially if you step away for an hour and want to see the class order when you return. It can also run ahead of the pictures. Keep it closed if you plan to watch a replay without knowing the result. For a live watch, open it on a second screen and identify the leader of the class you came to follow.
