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.

Unbearable isn’t it. I’ll be on radio le mans for the rest of the weekend.

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.

They've bent the rules often enough in the past, RLM saying only one new chassis, the other getting the carbon repaired

Cheers to whoever posted the suggestion to getting europlayer via amazon! Currently watching FP.

Checking in for another year....

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.

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!

Got it to work eventually on laptop version of App and after a few password updates the LE Mans pack was ticked and then the Live Now blue section top right clicks through to video and timings and the track positions charts by category. Video about 5 seconds behind europsport

Is the WEC app coverage the same as Eurosport app? Trying to find one without adverts. I should be able to get the app with ACO membership but have given up having spent all afternoon trying to sort it with multiple emails to the ACO.

Thanks in advance

I’m watching via the Eurosport app on an Fire HD stick. My Internet speed is about 40Mpbs at the Fire HD.
The feed picture seems a bit ‘stuttery’, not very smooth.
Anyone else getting this?

Eurosport Player also has an ad free stream. It'll be the same TV coverage I'm sure..

Great. I’ll go for that then with RLM commentary. Thanks very much

Thanks DF76 - I’ll flip a coin then...

Watching Eurosport, the commentary is difficult to listen to. 1 of the guys has an awful croaky voice.

Just mute it and play RLM instead..

Mine is good on a much slower internet speed - almost HD quality

I'd probably still just have to mute it tbh.

Both cars given permission to start the race

The actual Eurosport channel is totally fine - might not be relevant but if it was stutters on the main channel it might have closed the issue off.

The stream with the adverts does seem smoother than the ‘Uninterrupted’ stream. Annoying!
