Every race of the 2024 WEC Championship to be shown on Max

I guess it's time to break out the credit card. 

Looks like my Max subscription is really about to earn its keep.

We get Max as a perk with our AT&T unlimited data cell plan, so maybe it's time to shop phones?

I didn't know that. I have AT&T. Will investigate. Thanks for the heads-up!

In reply to Colin Wood :

Our Max subscriptions don't get us anything but the opportunity to buy a B/R subscription. You and I, as existing subscribers, get to pay for it from the start. Adding sports bumps the ad-free Max cost 63% monthly. Or 100% over the base subscription.

There are a lot of subscriptions going on. Am I going to get $10/mo worth out of this and the little bit of bike racing I watch?

I am stoked to see WEC coverage; that's really cool. But the cost as an add-on, when it appears mostly to pay for sportsball coverage I have no use for... It feels like the continuing evolution of the streaming era to be all the problems of cable with a bigger whack-a-mole game for keeping track of what we're paying for.

Oh god, Max, the one streaming app that has the hardest time performing basic functions like scrolling, searching, and pausing. I'd gladly just pay the $5 to have MT for the month of June. 

That and most of the WEC races are an absolute snooze fest to watch. Even as background noise they aren't worth their weight. 

In reply to J.A. Ackley :

I think so does Xfinity, but it looked like only the first show of a series or something strange like that.  Have to investigate more.

But even more reason to continue my boycott of Amazon Prime Video since they introduced advertising!

AT&T says we do not have Max included in our package. Bummer. Back to the credit card.

I don't know if I'm going to follow the series down that road.  I like it but Max is  just one more bill and adds to a financial "death by a thousand paper cuts."  At least to me.

I still haven't bought tickets for the race at COTA because Labor Day weekend around here = hotter than Hades.

And the last time the WEC came to town, all they did was complain...complain about sharing the weekend with IMSA, complained about the IMSA teams packing up and leaving after the IMSA races were over, and even though they had decent crowds by WEC's standards (announced weekend attendances were around 50,000) they complained about the crowd size.

I'd love to see the Hypercars up close though.  Maybe I'll do a cheap single day ticket.  Maybe.

In reply to Coniglio Rampante :

I flagged all of those IMSA/WEC weekends and the 2020 COTA reschedule. Those were TOUGH days for sure. 100+ most days and the crowds were actually really good for the time of year.
