I love the old guy on Eurosport right now. He loves talking about the old days and talks as if 1968 was yesterday.
Plus he sounds like Brian Butterfield. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtF3_ybJJ50 |

Sorry if it has been asked but I'm having a hard time finding it... Does anyone know if there is a gap in Fox Sports coverage for the duration? Looking at the posted schedule, I shouldn't be watching now. Just trying to prepare for what's ahead!

The truck race is overtime so they bumped UFC and UFC bumped LM to FSGo. Once they go back to LM it should be on until the end, FS2 until 230 then FS1 until the end. Think they got the whole third round in at the US Open so no need for FS1 coverage tomorrow morning
Should be back now, trucks are done |

I'm going to say it again, but $10 for the WEC stream is well worth it. No commercials and good quality, plus it is castable to tv from phone/tablet or you can connect a laptop. |

Or you can watch the WEC stream via a couple different online sources for $0, because $10 is about $9.75 too much for these troglodyte commentators.

Ustream has minimal ad breaks and mostly reliable. And free. |

I dont think the Radio Le Mans guys spend enough time talking about the GTE race.

Funny that I can see WEC and don't watch it and want to watch IMSA but can't see it. |

Good though of the app to require updates while at the circuit for the second year running..... As last year, I had to update just before the start of the first qualifying - which with poor connectivity took an hour. Fortunately the next update came on Friday evening when I was away from the circuit with free wifi......

Eurosport is just... sigh.
Its comforting in some way that things don't change, like the inept nature of how this channel operates. I mean its really a feat, like i'm impressed that they haven't been figured out yet and have kept up this charade for this long. The broadcasting / scheduling aside, Martin Haven is what makes it watchable, the man is a genius and I can listen to him for hours and can make even the dullest moments witty and interesting. The man has so much quality it should embarrass a channel like Eurosport. I will give Eurosport some credit for the sheer number of hours that they devote to the race now though, I really can't argue with that, I remember going back 10 years, you would have gaps of more than an hour long where they would be showing other programmes, so in terms of that aspect, its much improved, which I am grateful for. |

I prefered to listen to the guys on the stream. I used to love RLM team, but it is now so full of PR, self-promotion. I know they need money, but it is becoming unlistenable to me. They seem to really follow the action less and less. |

I was very happy with RLM this year and loved that they provided a stream with a timer so it could be synced to other videos! |

What I don't like about the hourly updates / sponsored content or even just interviews during an ongoing race is that even if meteor dropped from the sky (some major event in the race) the update, ad or interview wouldn't be stopped.

Is the replay only available in the app? Nothing on the website? My ipad and samsung tv aren't the best of buddies.

...unless the links are extraced from the app. http://paste.ubuntu.com/17586670/ Open the URLs (copy & paste the URL, don't save the file) in almost any media player or browser with HLS/m3u8 support (Edge/Safari, on Android most most browsers, on iOS probably Safari). |

Just checked what our national TV broadcaster YLE (think Finnish equivalent of BBC) had to say about Le Mans in their annual and only non-F1/WRC/MotoGP motorsports related news story of the year:
"Traditional Le Mans 24 Hours ended dramatically. Porsche took the lead only 3 minutes before the end when the first-placed Toyota broke off. The victory in the endurance race would have been the first for the Japanese team. For Porsche it was already 18th." That was all for this year Funny not even mention of Finnish drivers, usually there's been some brief off-remark (without pictures) like "Toni Vilander won the GT class" |

Well, I guess they were probably busy focusing on Baku coverage. Was Bottas or Kimi(is he still there?) any good?
Anyway, I only watched the initial 3 hours and I can't blame people for not liking LM(I read some F1 fans saying LM is boring because there is barely any overtakings on it) as there is really very few action going on. It's more an event for people that like to watch cars lapping on a peculiar track |
