Official FIA WEC App Released

Today at Silverstone, a new app for all iOS and Android users has been launched by Pierre FILLON President of the ACO, ahead of the opening round of the FIA World Endurance Championship, which will allow fans unprecedented access to information, live feeds and data from each of the races in 2014 and beyond.

Available for any device capable of running iOS or Android applications, the FIA WEC second screen app can be downloaded for free from the iTunes store or the Google Play store and has two levels of access. Some of the functions will be available for free and there will be more interactive elements that will be available for a small fee, payable for each race or for the whole season.**

“After many months of hard work, and significant investment by the ACO, we are pleased to unveil the new Second Screen application for the FIA WEC,” said Pierre Fillon. “This communications tool will give all fans the opportunity to see and interact with a world championship on a level never seen before and will usher in an exciting new phase in the story of endurance racing that will allow everyone to easily follow a race of any duration, whether it is 6 hours of 24 hours.

“After round 2 in Belgium, the application will then switch to become the second screen for the 24 Heures du Mans before switching back to the FIA WEC in September for the 6 Hours of the Circuit of the Americas. We truly believe this is the future of following and enjoying Le Mans style endurance races.”

“This wil be an exciting new 21st Century way to follow the races in 2014,” said FIA WEC CEO Gerard Neveu. “We have been developing the second screen since the end of last season and we are now ready to unveil what we can consider to be one of the world’s best motorsport application.

“Endurance racing has always been about giving the fans the best access possible and now they will be able to follow the races with unprecedented access to features that have up to now been only available to the teams. Most of the features are free but some of the more interactive items are available for a small fee, which is the equivalent of just €2,85 per race for the season pack, which offers great value for money.”
