Hehe

Seriously speaking, regarding to the absence of RLM, here are some direct quotes:

Also, there will be no other TV coverage [that I know of], but then again this is Le Mans Classic, a historic event for enthuastics and thus it is not too suprising that it never gets any proper coverage or attention. That's why this sudden burst of some (allegedly) live broadcasting on Motors is fantastic!


I guess there might or might not also be a highlight package of some sort on Skysport or something later on but people on the other side of the pond shouldn't be too hopeful
