I wondered why it wasn't on ES HD channel earlier as they had nothing on there, well just filler short programmes.
Mind you I think their SD channel looks a better picture quality than last year.

ETA:

Hindy has just explained that ES and all broadcasters are using limited cameras and the circuit CCTV.

100% better! Graphics much improved also. The production is still poor though (talking over interviews etc)..

I don't have ES audio on I have RLM and just cope with the the delay.
I'm sure there has to be a way of getting the ES pictures and the RLM audio to be matched up but I'm not IT savvy enough to do it!

Main trouble with the coverage I've had over the last few years is the size of the graphics, they've been barely readable and that's on a 42" screen!

Haven't tuned in yet this year, so hoping they're better.

The graphics are much better this year, even om the non HD channel. As others have said, the picture is better too smile

I think he's talking about the crazy disco lights that come on when the car's in the pits, they're certainly different!

Sorry to be dumb. Can some explain in layman terms the differences between the two different Audi Factory cars that are racing at Le Mans this year i.e the E-Tron and the other?!

Thanks

Ultra - a rejigging of last years car. 3.7 lite V6 turbo Deisel. Rear wheel drive

E-tron Quattro - as above but with a hybrid system charged by braking. Electric power is sent to front wheels under acceleration at certain points, and does not I understand constitute a push to pass like KERS in F1
