    I'm contemplating purchasing a Full videopass this season (~$140). Is it worth it???? I'm curious if it's possible to split the cost with a friend?

    Can't comment on splitting it, but I think it is worth it. I don't have a channel that airs Motogp any more, but even when I did I had the video pass. Love watching the races live.

    Which option did you purchase (multiscreen or or standard)?

    Standard. When the multi screen came out there was a free trial for current subscribers, I didn't like it. It lagged a lot and the regular feed is really good, so I never felt the need to see what they weren't showing

    I have a regular pass for MotoGP and WSBK and think it's well worth the money. I haven't bought into the buying of apps for either. I am a fairly new fan of both and it's cool to be able to watch entire racing seasons from the past. Just watched a race from 2009 tonight and it was like watching it live to me since I'd never seen it.

    I really want both the WSBK and MotoGP season passes. I contemplate this every year but have never pulled the trigger. I think I just need to get a few too many beers in me one night and get an urge to watch some races. :bounce:

    Seriously though, I wish FIM had an option to purchase bundled access to all or a selection of CCR.

    A new youtube channel popped up for the sbk races, and I still have FS1, so for now I think the money saved gets me an extra weekend at grattan.
    Or a new rear tire..

    I seem to remember trying to login from two computers to get the live timing on one screen and the video feed on the other. When logging into the second connection, I was disconnected from the first. I'll try it again later tonight and let you know.

    I sprung for the standard video pass. I watched the multi screen demo and I experienced lag. I cannot wait for next weekend!!

    I have the standard package as well. I am guessing this is my 5th year. might only be 4th. I also have the world superbike video pass. 2nd year for that. I love the video passes. Mon - Friday evening when there is nothing on TV, I watch motogp Monday, Moto2 Tuesday, Moto3 wed, superbike 1 & 2. Sometimes I will watch the free practices and qualifiing on Monday, races Tuesd - Friday. My weekends are spent riding or working around the house. No time to watch the races. Being able to watch them on my own timeline is priceless.

    Totally agree on what else you could spend that money on. I got rid of paying for cable tv 5 years ago so I only pay for things I want to watch now. I can watch races live or whenever I want with no commercials. To me, it's totally worth it compared to what I used to pay per month for cable.

    So after finding out today that Nascar is getting priority over the Quatar race on FS1 (not that I'm surprised), and not getting FS2, I'm going to pull the trigger on the video pass.

    Is the "Season Multiscreen" worth the extra money? I'm a pretty content person, so I'm thinking the added split times and helicopter views are useless for me haha.

    I think it is a waste of money. I just wanna watch the race and don't care about the fluff and stuff...

    Cool, that's kind of what I'm thinking. I don't generally find any added value in that stuff.

    All I'm saying is that was a hell of a Moto2 race! Commercial free too!

    Just remember to bookmark the "no spoilers" link if you don't watch live.
    It was a pain to get to the race video without seeing at least a podium shot before they made the new link.
    I used to have my wife log in and start the race for me lol

    I just binge watched all of the pre season tests.
    This was totally worth it.
