t times I to listen and watch the cars without the aid of RLM but I know it is there and can turn it on if something appears to have happened or things are very quiet, at the camp site it is usually playing in the back ground even if we are talking/cooking

I know it is a necessary evil but if I listen to RLM for too long I get frustrated with the constantly repeated ads.

I tend to watch and listen to the race then catch up with the RLM updates for short periods

Talking about RLM and adverts, I'm still looking for a soundfile of the
Dodge/Chrysler Viper ad of the late 90's about a guy with a small house, with a small kitchen, small bedroom, small living and a BIG GARAGE!!!!

Anybody?

A few things begin to grate after 24 hours but I reckon I listened to it for every minute of every session (when my radio was working) the last two years.

My only complaint really is that between them they will routinely mis-identify cars and parts of the track.

That sounds like a nice way of doing things. I think I shall be strong at play that game this year.

It's an interesting one about advertising. I think we all appreciate that they've got to pay the bills, and that Le Mans is presumably a big pay day for them that makes it possible to do Midweek Motorsport and coverage of things like the ELMLS, but sometimes it works (the "fun facts about Gulf Oil" from a few years back worked well), and sometime it grates a little more, when the content provided is a little more like what I associate with 1980s local cinema ads for a local carpet shop, or the magnificent Rainham Sheds).

When at the track the adverts bother a lot less, largely I think because ultimately it's a minor backing soundtrack to something a lot more spectacular.

TK may be Mr Le Mans, but I'd put Hindy up there with him as the voice of Le Mans, or even sports car racing for me. Between RLM and Andy's spotters guides, it enhances the experience a lot

I love RLM. Hindy and the RLM crew take commentary to another level. This is noticed especially when we are forced to listen to other commentary, such as the ALMS this year, and that's no offense to Jeremy Shaw, as he is a great commentator as well. Btw, there's lot's of other great commentators broadcasting sports car racing in Europe. Watching and listening to many sports car racing series from here in the antipodes (as Hindy calls us here in Aus ) we appreciate the expert, passionate and FREE coverage we get.
I realize that RLM wouldn't exist without the backing of it's sponsors, but I really hope that Nissan tone down their level of control of the RLM commentary this year. It got quite tedious when their spruikers took over last year.

Jeremy Shaw is pulling double-duty once again this year in the Eurosport booth and in the pitlane for Radio Le Mans.

For me, as I've got to know him quite well over the years, Trussers is always the 'voice of Le Mans' as far as I'm concerned!

I want to post my thanks to everyone at Radio le Mans for their excellent coverage everywhere they go. I agree that Le 24 Heures du Mans would still be running and popular, and a great experience even without RLM but to be without this additional entertainment and information having had it for so long would definitely now feel wrong. Just to explain how it is for me – last weekend I was listening to the Practise Day on RLM whilst working on my sons car and just the sound of the RLM team (even minus the most excellent Trussers) had me trackside. When I have had the unfortunate situation of not being able to get to Le Mans then any TV coverage is accompanied by RLM commentary as it seems to me to be the best there is. I mean where else could you hear an American completely muller the word Pooogohhhh!

Having recently been to the dark side and paid a fortune to go to a Grand Prix imagine my disappointment that there was no circuit radio commentary so you have to put up with trying to hear something over the trackside PA – with the noise of F1 cars ! So if you cant see a big screen you don’t get to know who is doing what in qually ( a bit like Silverstone WEC qually in fact ;-)).

Clearly with the advances in communication we may in the future have other ways of getting some of this information, but the analysis from Mr Truswell and exuberant commentary from the team will still be an integral part of the Le Mans experience for me. Long may it continue.
