I can understand why it would be a bit annoying to have this commentary when its 9\10pm. But its relaxed style is quite fitting when listening at 3am.

I've had good lineup between rlm and the motortrend stream all day/night. I think rlm might be 3 seconds ahead but that is good enough for me.

I'm lazy and would rather gripe about something!

Does the Toyota not have a drinks bottle?

Lopez helmet has a drinks tube through it so I'd say yes they do

What was the drink bottle looking thing they had during Alonso's pitstop?

Was that oil, or battery coolant?

Eurosport night stint with Cole & Parsons is a nightmare. They've been talking about hydrogen cars for the past 2 hours. Probably after inhaling something stronger than hydrogen.

I'm starting to think Kirby isn't even the weakest link (sometimes even bearable when he sticks to that Bob Varsha style "host" role and lets others do the actual commentating). It is Cole and Parsons. Parsons is definitely too old for this, so there's that but Cole doesn't have that excuse. How is it possible that he has been around for decades and yet is so clueless.

broadrun96 · 16 Jun 2019, 03:23 (Ref:3911534)

Yeah, it's been a bit of old home show and absolute confusion about the race in front of them. But I've been mostly watching the pictures and trying to stay awake. Sadly falling sleep to them may not be hard.

They just said Juan Manuel Lopez in the Toyota. Wow, Spanish names but not even close

They actually went so off topic that some of their topics actually became relevant for me as it sounds like one of them lives nearby. Quite surreal hearing local news on the worldwide Le Mans coverage!

I don't think an awful lot has happened in the past few hours which is why they're given the license to chat freely at length. But there should be someone there making sure they actually focus on the race at points. Like a half hour update at a minimum.

My favorite was when they were making so much of "fluid" out of the back of one Toyota. It was a mist of some sort but it was obvious that it was coming off all cars!

Always hard to tell the exact light levels on the tv cameras but it seems to be getting lighter at the track.

And I might as well go ahead and jynx it, the motortrend online stream has been great quality all day.

fieldodreams79 · 16 Jun 2019, 03:54 (Ref:3911556)

It sounds like Trussers is locked in a basement...

The app is garbage. Doesn't even work. The browser stream stopped once for me but a refresh took care of that. Otherwise, smooth sailing.

I went with an HDMI cable to the TV instead of casting and I've had solid coverage. Even with wife on Netflix, son on YouTube and me with a couple other in car streams going.

I can't cast so it's useless. The main page on my Roku app says "Le Mans Live!" on the main page and then crashes when I click play. I've prepared my bedroom for the evening with cables running everywhere.

When I said earlier that I had spent a lot of money to prevent this, I meant that I have lots of castable electronic devices, a MotorTrend subscription for 2 years (minus a couple of months I let it lapse), and next year I will have been a MotorTrend magazine subscriber for 30 of my 40 years. I've been a Roadkill fan since their 7th video. I want to love their product, just PLEASE give me a stable, working platform to view it from.

I see what you mean. I don't have a Roku, just Chromecast and smart TVs.

Maybe this will cheer you up

I think you did. Hancock is good and seems to have gotten a lot more air time than previously.

I'm still in the same shirt as yesterday. Although it probably doesn't smell as good as yesterday.

**joeb** · 16 Jun 2019, 10:02 (Ref:3911778)

Here we go!

fieldodreams79 · 16 Jun 2019, 10:04 (Ref:3911781)

I mean, I've worn the same shirt for more than 48 hrs. WTF is this guy's deal?
