British GT Championship 7.10 on Saturday 4th
WEC Silverstone Highlights 6.35 on Saturday 11th, followed by Mobil 1 - The Grid at 7.00 It may be early, but fortunately I mastered how to record programmes before I grew old.... |

Eurosport Finland has both FP and Q1 on ES1 instead of ES2, but the "Eurosport News" still clashes the same way as in UK, seemingly |

In Hispanic America, part of the race will air on Fox Sports 3 (ex Speed), but don't know how much. Except for F1 and Nascar, the weekend is clear of other races. |

WEC highlights on C4? Could this be bigger than that when the F1 coverage goes to the payment of the devil in 2019? I love it if it was that

The ACO '52 reviews are bloody awful both in WEC and ELMS, with overly dramatic cliche music and weird editing only embarrassing them further, so these (potential) in-house C4 show might actually be half decent in comparison. Even if dramatically delayed and dramatically cut down...

I'm not sure if that is good news or bad news given the **** exposure of FS2. I bet many would rather even not have the full race if they instead got little bit more on FS1 (or god knows, minute of network FOX time)

It's a nice dream but there's no way they're going to air a six hour race on terrestrial television. Best we could hope for is a better highlights package in a more prominent timeslot.

Even at the Ashes, how many people actually watch an entire test match? Only the cricket enthusiasts would be willing to watch the whole thing on the specialist channel on Sky Sports, while everyone else with a passing interest watches the highlights on Channel 5. Endurance racing will always be a niche sport, but there's no reason for it to be this niche. |

There's no reason for the races to be 6 hours either, 500km/3h or whatever would "sell" just as well for the regular non-landmark races. But this is going off the rails

Again, no reason why they can't have a few hours live on terrestrial television one day. C4 used to have "Big Brother Live" in the small hours of the morning...you would literally be watching people sleeping. You could spend 3 hours of your life watching people doing even less than you. |

I just see them losing in interest in motorsport once that F1 contract is up. That seems to be the pattern with these things. Personally, 30 minutes highlights means zilch to me.

I'm not expecting to see live WEC races other than LM in full on a sports channel, but it is definitely not just the lenght that is the problem. Obviously all motorsports are pretty niche compared to major ball sports and in most ball sports there's usually ongoing action / play all the time while in racing the action is more periodic and often happening in the background. |

20.30 - 21.00 - Le Mans 24 Minutes Eurosport 1 21.00 - 22.55 - Qualifying I can't see any sign of the 1st session being shown on either channel (due to Live Tennis and Athletics.) |

Apparently Carlton Kryptonite Kirby is going to be commentating. So my TV mute button will be on guard duty.

WEC website video + Radio Le Mans audio = all you need. Not giving Kirby the satisfaction of listening to his inane babbling.

I quite like Carlton Kirby when he is commentating on the cycling, but not when he is doing cars.
As ever it will be Eurosport Pic's and audio from RLM in my house. |

IIRC usually they pair Shaw with Haven and/or Faulkner or whomever else decent, while Kirby goes with Halliday and Cole to form terrible B-Team. The differences between shift A and shift B and shift C can be quite huge in quality

Has anyone from WEC confirmed yet what will be shown via the paid feed? Will it for sure be all qualifying sessions and the race? Any chance we'll get the practice, all qualifying and race? In a perfect world we'd get all mentioned above plus the support races.

Supports I doubt, but the GT3 Le Mans Cup has a Dailymotion channel and Imola race was shown there: http://www.dailymotion.com/GT3LMC |
