No... but of course, not gonna be an issue; I don't watch on *** (well, let's be honest, if *** is only two minutes behind, it's working remarkably well for their standards. You definitely get what you pay for...)
But you know what? I'm not gonna trust the judgement of someone who thinks that watching re-runs can be not only a last possible option thing, but actually preferable to watching live.
And I'm certainly not gonna trust the judgement of someone who uses the term "as-live" unironically.
Of course it is "as-live" if you don't know the results and how the race unfolded.
But then again if you can't bring yourself to feel the same (or at least close? emotion when you watch it late then you clearly don't enjoy the sport as much as you think.
Besides, I never said I purposely watch re-runs. I said it's a perfectly viable option to watch a race if....."put the reason you watched something later here*
I said that I usually turn-on the live feed an hour or 2 later (but still watch from the start) so I'm able to skip everything that I don't want to watch.
