I know, I was failing at being snarky

but the drone footage does trigger my motion sickness unfortuantely - hopefully it is not a new feature

Heads up, folks. Early bird discount on F1 TV Pro. $4.99 per month. Its R80/m in the app. Not bad at all.

Was on the way to drop the same note (esp for @Wyvern, @Solitude, @oltman, @weasley who all mentioned waiting for a discount now that we have full F1TV Pro access).

The 25% off voucher code to use is: EARLYBIRD25 .

It works for monthly and annual subs. Not sure how long it will be available for - did see mention on Reddit that it’ll run for a week, but absolutely cannot confirm that at all.

There is a note somewhere that it’s only for new subscribers, but I just cancelled my existing Access sub from last year that was due to expire in two weeks time, and I was able to apply the code to a new subscription for Pro. Worked out to R506 for the year.

Jou doring!

Signed up!

Wyvern · February 18, 2020, 5:52pm

I will do the monthly Thank you!

Wyvern · February 18, 2020, 5:54pm

Apparently I am not eligible

GregRedd · February 18, 2020, 6:37pm

But why? Mine took 3 or 4 attempts to work. I did log out and log back in again after cancelling my existing sub. Still took 2 refresh attempts after that to get it to stick.

Also tried initially on my phone, but that didn’t seem to like the idea at all. Did work on my desktop at home though - after those 2 refreshes of the page.

Wyvern · February 18, 2020, 8:42pm

I will try tomorrow - there is no sub on mine so no idea

oltman · February 18, 2020, 10:11pm

Thanks guys, will sub in the morning for sure!

Weasley · February 18, 2020, 10:36pm

thanks i got it. tip for others make sure its for correct country. mine was set to UK and not SA

Yeah, very weird. Post on the main F1 site confirms it should be available until 28 Feb, so you should have a couple of days to get it sorted out.

For a limited time only, new subscribers can save 25% on an annual F1 TV Subscription with Code EARLYBIRD25 *Offer valid for web orders until February 28th 2020 (not available to Canada region)

Solitude · February 19, 2020, 7:02am

@Wyvern, some other people also struggled to activate the voucher but got it working after trying a couple of times. Like @DieGrootHammer

Wyvern · February 19, 2020, 7:10am

I am gonna try it just now again. Lets see - hold thumbs

Solitude · February 19, 2020, 7:10am

Good luck! I hope you get it.

Wyvern · February 19, 2020, 7:14am

Solitude · February 19, 2020, 7:20am

Are you doing the yearly subscription? I think it’s not usable on the monthly subscription.

Wyvern · February 19, 2020, 7:22am

Aah could be that
And sorted

Dragonic · February 19, 2020, 7:54am

Alfa did a reveal.

Also, driver swap for Ferrari this morning. Seb not feeling well, so Charles is up.
