How on Earth do I watch a WEC race?

Help other fans out and let then know how you watch the racing. Including the daddy race Le Mans.

I do Eurosport. It is live, it doesn't have adverts, the replays are up straight after the race. Commentary team is the official one. Sometimes I sync with RLM. I tend to mix this up. So my summary:

Eurosport
  • Required location: Europe
  • Live and catch-up
  • Race, Qualifying and Practice
  • No Adverts (although you can watch the stream with if you like)
  • I watch online. I stream to a tiny computer that is linked to a telly
  • I presume that the advert version is available through TV providers, but I think that not all races are covered fully live, sometimes just the start and end.
  • Catch-up posted very quickly
  • Stream quality is great (not like the old Eurosport days)
  • Paid, but reasonable subscription price (sorry can't remember exactly what)
  • Commentators: Martin Haven, Graham Goodwin and Anthony Davidson
  • I think it also has lots of onboards, especially at Le Mans, but I didn't see any for Portimao.

Radio Le Mans
  • Location: Global.
  • Live and catch-up podcasts
  • Catch up pods normally available a day or two after and available via your favorite podcast provider.
  • Quality is OK. Sound levels vary (whatever they claim!)
  • It is the traditional and the same that is available at La Sarthe.
  • Nice to sync. up when live.
  • Commentators: Crikey, especially for Le Mans quite a few. Can someone help me out here? Hindy normally does the first and last stint. Trussers is known for doing the full 24 hours.
  • Sometimes forget there is a race on when riding their hobby horse.
  • Kept the station going and are like old friends.

Have I missed anything.

How do you watch?

Here is the guide from FIAWEC site:

Including a detailed list (for Portimao, but I guess it doesn't change much):
