So picked up the supply of generic French larger in 25cl bottles from Lidl during lunch and noticed they have crepe makers...could it be time for a return of the 6am Grand Marnier crepe...?

Anyone getting pictures on the WEC app?

ETA - sorted now

How did you sort it? Every time I go to the camera icon I get taken to the Restore Your Purchase screen, which successfully restores but then comes back each time.

You've got a different problem to me then, I was just getting highlights or a tour of the Rebellion garage, now get the option of the main coverage or various in car cameras.
Radio le Mans is much better synced with Eurosport than the app though, might have to just flick over to the app during ad breaks

Merguez sandwich for lunch, with a nice crisp Pilsner, it could be all downhill from here

Anyone else hearing one of the Eurosport commentators constantly heavy breathing down the mic?

I've had trouble finding the practice on Eurosports schedule. It doesn't like Edge or Chrome which make just Le Mans disappear. Works perfectly on Firefox, but there are adverts

Watching uninterrupted Eurosport coverage of free practice on chrome.

Yeah I hear it as well. Probably Tom Gaymor. Annoying commentary style. He hoooooolds.... on tooooooo.... every otheeeeeeeer.... word liiiiiiiike.... this.

How did you get the uninterrupted Eurosport without the Ads on prime offer. Ads appear periodically

I think that feed is only up during the race itself. That was the case last year anyway.

Oh, I hadn’t seen this. Which channel/feed is that?

No joy with WEC app. Just directed to pay for coverage and restore purchase doesn’t work either. Tried the reset password.

[RL17]

WEC app worked after 20-30 mins or so ( as at first it kept showing euro 9.99 option - now comes up as ticked) - did take an hour to sort though!

Not bad coverage as can switch to onboard cameras for about 15 cars or have french and uk commentary (or probably Radio Le Mans) - Eurosport on TV was full of adverts.

It’s one of the “on now” channel options on the player.

How did you get it working

App - clicking on live you takes you to the Restore/Buy page

Link from email - Log in then a 404 error page
Tried the link above which does work but still asks for season/rack pack payment


Getting really fked off with this crap infor from ACO. I've emailed them four times now. They must be getting sick of me. Why they have to have such an awkward system I don't know but I guess it wouldn't be Le Mans without the French pissing you off!

Just signed up for my free 7 days of Eurosport via Amazon.
Other half is away all weekend.
Beer & burgers in the fridge, crisps in the cupboard.

Never thought Id miss Carlton Kirby's verbal diarrhoea but current commentary is just mind numbing. Sometimes less is more. The heavy breathing and sighing.

Ads in the middle of a 45 minute quali session, common on Eurosport you can do better than that.

I can see me watching with the sound off.

Radio Le Mans is what you need, life is far to short and precious to spend any of it with Eurosport's Le Mans commentary

Idec Sport have written off 2 chassis already, even Tracey Krohn never managed that

Sadly they have to do a number of laps this session or they’re disqualified. Hopefully the ACO will bend the rules slightly to accommodate them but I won’t hold my breath.
