NISMO at Le Mans - LIVE!

Nissan's sponsoring some live coverage of Le Mans on PH - watch it here!

---

SPONSORED STORY
The Le Mans 24 Hours will be a more interactive experience this year thanks to NISMO.TV, the online channel of Nissan's motorsport and performance division. NISMO.TV broadcasted over 26 hours of race coverage in 2013, and is going one better this year with additional onboard footage and interactive studio.

Nissan will power a quarter of the Le Mans grid in 2014 and also race the hybrid Nissan ZEOD RC, which is capable of completing an entire lap under electric power alone. Four of Nissan's gamer-to-racers will compete at Le Mans: two in ZEOD and two in the #35 OAK Ligier Nissan. NISMO.TV will be right there with live onboard footage from those two cars. Further coverage will be provided by 'NISMO CAM' - a mobile camera located above the pitlane (multi camera options not available on mobile devices).

The channel will also feature an interactive studio, where fans will be able to send their comments, questions and reaction as the race unfolds.

Tune in to NISMO.TV on PistonHeads from June 14-15 for all the action live from Le Mans.

'Sponsored story'? Really chaps? Might as well just put ADVERT in big letters instead.

I'm a little disappointed that PH is now running advertorial in the news section, tbh.

Suave.

We thought live coverage of LM24 was bang on for PH, both as a brand and for those who can't make it

I'm not there and to add insult to injury I'm working for a fair bit of it, so this will be perfect to have in the background and keep an eye on. Cheers.

I think this a lot better than the various tie ups that have been announced recently - company sponsors something that is of benefit to PHers.

[WokkaWokka]

He needs to do his press ups properly first.

And you were right IMHO.

Coverage of LM24 on PH is perfect. This sort of thing does not come for free, so thanks to Nissan for it and PH for setting up.

It's not an advertorial. It's not a flattering test drive of a Nissan vehicle. It's Nissan paying for something so you don't have to. If you don't want this free product, just ignore it. Nissan also sponsor the "Spotters guides", again so Andy Blackmore can provide a quality product and you and I don't have to pay for it.

There are few better uses for Nissan's money than to sponsor this service. Would you rather be bombarded by banner adverts encouraging you to buy a car you don't want?

I'm going to LM so this doesn't matter to me, but if I wasn't I'd be delighted I could watch some of the race via PH.

Can't believe what some people moan about, unbelievable!!

[RobbyJ]

Someone has to pay for the site, and Nismo showing us LM coverage certainly works for me. Stop bloody moaning and enjoy some LM action, thanks Paul

+1.

As stated PH has become home to targeted adverts but i'm pleased that they've got Nissan on board to provide coverage for sometting i'd otherwise not be able to view. Thumbs Up Piston Heads!

Hasn't PH always had adverts (at least in the 4 years I've been around)?

Also, you say targeted adverts like it's a negative. That's at least better than the scatter gun advertising of the internet years ago...

Thanks PH and thanks Nissan. Anyone would think this site runs on air and good will with some of the moaning.

[possibletowel]

This is excellent! it is perfect for pistonheads

[roland82]

This is great for me, I was thinking of paying for Eurosport Streaming now I don't have to.

Thanks Pistonheads and Nissan.

I think PH is doing a good thing here .... Always hard to get coverage of the race ( without paying and contracts )
But.........
I'm off on Friday ...driving down to Le Mans with my son , his first time .
Think Porsche will win !
Woooooohooooooooo. Can't wait ...... See all you other Piston Heads at the track !

SAFE DRIVE TO YOU ALL !

Great call chaps. Looking forward to zoning out in front of some LM coverage

[Neith]

Great to know there'll be a good onboard this year, used to watch the Speed TV Corvette on-boards a couple of years back.

Quite interested to see how ZEOD does. Hopefully better than the Deltawing

Cheers PH and Nissan for sorting this out!
