Anyone watching on the Eurosport channel know how to remove the channel list from the right hand side?

Whoever decided that was a good idea needs executing.

On the TV channel? No channel list here.

I've muted it and have Radio Le Mans running. Can't be dealing with adverts!

When will advertisers realise that ramming a product down our throat every 10 minutes is not good business. I personally never want to see another San Miguel or a Skoda car ever again.

Is it me or did the 91 Porsche drop fluid down only for its sister car to hit said fluid and go into the barrier?

If any of you have an Apple TV, just download the WEC app and stream it to your tv. It's hd quality without any adverts.

The race is £6 I think to buy the whole lot.

Definitely worth it.

Totally agree with you Mark, yes ES need to pay for the coverage but the ad's are just to often.

Luckily my Samsung TV ES app doesn't have many ad's. It changed channels about 25 minutes ago and I've not had an ad since.

I've probably jinxed it now!

I understand that but just remember that these sponsors are basically funding the channel running the whole race on TV.

Without them, no Le Mans on TV!

I say go and buy their products!

Is Eurosport a freeview channel then? Because I thought it was part of my Sky subscription, as in I am paying for it.

Probably not, but they need the advertising as well!

It looked like it and the German Eurosport commentators claimed that they thought it was. Appear to have just changed their minds.

Any free stream lads? Then nice one I've been using has left me!

There is thread running for this. Probably best to look there.

Toyota look to have this in the bag as far as pace and strategy go which is why the German commentators are bigging up the Cologne thing.

[Emeye]

Who is the presenter of Le man's 24 minutes on Eurosport?

I can't think where I've seen him before and it is really bugging me!

[Emeye]

Just a I clicked post they mentioned his name, Neil Cole - now where have I seen him before?

Extra lap per stint. Super kind on tyres. Fastest lap time.

The only element yet to be proven is reliability, everything else looks set.

[Emeye]

I remember! Be presented the WRC coverage a few years back!

I'll shut up now.

Porsche have now down 14 lap stints so that advantage is gone.

It's going to be down to pure pace now hopefully. I want Toyota to win so much!
