So Motorsport.tv lists the race, but as I'm sat in front of the TV all I see is adverts!

Fortunately IMSA stream the race here.

I hoped the channel would improve with the take over, but it seems worse and really struggles with live action.

Edit: The commentary is awful too. It sounds like a radio from the 50s and one of them has a sore thoat. Back to watching online and hoping my sky broadband behaves for a change.

a decidedly average start to their transmission today.....nearly 20 minutes of 'crash' musical items then just abruptly into the 'live' coverage 11 minutes into the race.....technical difficulties at the track. I wish they could have put up a caption, at least, to tell us they were having problems.
Still, come on the 62!

Such calmness to pick where to hit the wall as the brakes failed on the Mazda!

That guy always has a sore throat, he should have given up commentating 20 years ago. Poor coverage and a wobbly line through the screen every few minutes that make the cars look like they are splitting in two. better than nothing mind.

It's streaming live on FS1 here in The US.
Sun going down, get ready for some Yellow flags being waved.

I enjoyed it too, although the last 3 hours had to be recorded and watched first thing this morning.

Me too, sadly that meant the last 3 hours were with the MotorsportTV commentary, not the IMSA radio / Radio Le mans comms.
