Watching Le Mans on TV
Discussion
As you're on Virgin Media you might be able to do it on the cheap because:
1. TNT Sports has the rights to WEC so should be showing Le Mans too.
2. TNT Sports is streamed on the HBO Max app.
3. On VM you can get free access to the HBO Max app.
4. Which gives you at least the primary TV feed - critically without ad breaks.
That makes it easy to watch on a phone and you should be able to get it on your TV with a Fire TV Stick/Chromecast/etc.

Hi, can you install the WEC app on a Smart TV or do you have to watch the race via a iPad/Laptop?
Re TNT, although Le Mans will probably be fine, I gather they didn't show the whole of the 6 hours at Spa
TNT will show the whole race, but with zd breaks and probably other features interrupting the race footage, you're better off watching the no ads stream on HBO maxRe TNT, although Le Mans will probably be fine, I gather they didn't show the whole of the 6 hours at Spa

Yea, they seemed to miss the start?!?!Don't know if the whole race was on HBO Max but I kept swapping TV -> HBO Max on my phone as the stream didn't break for ads.
You can find places to watch it if you don't want to pay, but obviously that is up to you. But that is what I do.
I did try ACO for a year, but the app was garbage, kept freezing, not working and it runs from Jan to Dec,which I found a con, but not a surprise,I gather the new app is better. Here it's on TNT I expect,but ads are every 15 mins religiously so it's not really watchable.
A good tip is to watch onboards on YT,and you might also find the odd freestream there, but aco and TV usually close them down fairly sharpish.

I'm sure I watched on TNT/ eurosport last year (I didn't watch on the app so must have done!) and there was an ad free stream somewhere as I didn't get any adverts at all.I did try ACO for a year, but the app was garbage, kept freezing, not working and it runs from Jan to Dec,which I found a con, but not a surprise,I gather the new app is better.

I'd use the app but there isn't one available for the firestick and I don't want to tie up my phone/ laptop streaming to the "big TV" for the week.
Quest - channel 17 on freeview will be showing parts of the race live. Saturday coverage 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Then overnight from 10:00 pm. On Sunday coverage from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Yes, there will be adverts , but it is free to view (hate what TNT have done to UK sport watching - don’t get me started on Tour de France coverage)
