The race is live on Motors TV this afternoon. Should be the RLM commentary for the authentic experience too. Peugeot are looking strong again. I love the sort of tortoise and hare style war between Peugeot and Audi.

Going to be awesome. Should get the full race this year too - rather than the rain-shortened affair of last year. biggrin

The Porsche 911 Hybrid being thrown into the mix as well, should be interesting smile

Watching this now, god American adverts are terrible!

Lotterer made a right mess of that Audi, proper schoolboy error to hit the kerb like that, I imagine he's almost as unpopular as Rocky was when he threw the R10 into the tetre rouge barrier a couple of years ago.

I dont wish to start an argument but i dont believe Rockys accident at Le Mans was purely driver error it had started raining and he was on slicks, still like you said he was probably very unpopular.

Fair point. I was quite pleased about it too, gave us a chance to pop out to Carrefour for supplies without missing any racing while the SC was out biggrin

some are, some are great- the Porsche advert, and the BMW "joy" one which, unlike our adverts dont mention green things, but racing.

Some like the canadian tyre "men nod after undoing a tough lug nut" one is brilliant

The speed tv site has live in car stuff, but no proper coverage - if anyone finds anything it would be much appreciated.

Failing that it will be RLM for me.

To ease the pain of those of you who dont have an internet stream those of us on tv will lose our coverage for an hour in a minute too! Good race so far suprised the Audis are quicker than the Pugs at the moment considering at Le Mans, Spa, Silverstone and in the practice sessions the Pugs have been quicker.

Currently watching the speed tv in car coverage and listening to radio le mans. Not ideal but better than nothing.

Can't wait for the 24h now, only 8 and a bit months to go...!
