Wec Le Mans Tournament

Jorge P. is a big friend of Planeta Sinclair and a member of Museu LOAD ZX. And he have created a process to play ZX Spectrum online, with friends.

In his Facebook Page "ZX Spectrum 80s" (here), he have streamed a few ZX Spectrum games. Some solo, some with friends remotely (over the Internet).

For example, the Formula One games on the page are played online with other five friends (the game allows for 6 players). Each of them is comfortably in their houses at night, while they play with the others. With this method it is possible to play "slower" multiplayer games like Formula One, Laser Squad, and others. But, believe it or not, it's also possible to play fast reaction multiplayer games like Match Day 2, High Noon, Match Point, 3D Stock Car, etc

He have played several times Match Day 2, with a friend from Ireland, over the Internet (he lives in Portugal) and it's very enjoyable! Also, he have identified a set of keys to minimize keyboard interference for both players (which used to be a common problem on the ZX).

He is publishing an invitation for an online tournament of WEC Le Mans (a racing game) so that people can start to try out this method of playing ZX Spectrum games online, remotely! .
