Eurosport have previously had an advert free, commentary free, , engine sounds on stream of the whole race.
Was perfect to have the on the TV with Radio Le Mans audio on the laptop.

They didn't do it last year. Hope they do this time.
Tried contacting Eurosport to ask them, but they didn't have a clue what I was on about.

There's nothing listed on the Eurosport Player schedule for this.. I fear it's not going to happen.

Any ACO members know where/how the live streaming is happening?
It is via the WEC app/website.
Has anybody sorted yet? - I can see 24 Hours on WEC for euros 9.99 and have also seen a 24H-LEMANS app mentioned in emails

My question stems from a promise of a free stream, however its not mentioned on the main website or their ACO pages.

I'm addition, not sure all are aware but there are two apps.

You're not alone, I know someone who is an ACO member and he hasn't been sent any clear details of how to access the free stream.

Anyone tried the MotorTrend app before?

https://racer.com/2020/09/02/motortrend-to-offer-f...

£3.99 per month for the Eurosport coverage, vs £6.99 on Eurosport. And a 14 day free trial to boot... smile

Wondering if it streams on a PC?

Got to ask but why on a small PC monitor vs the big screen maybe you have a 65” in the main room to enjoy it

I believe the MotorTrend service uses geo-blocking so you only get the LM coverage if it thinks you are in North America.

There is a show at 22:00 tonight on Eurosport that might be a 2020 preview.

The programme synopsis on Sky is somewhat vague, but probably worth setting the VCR (or modern equivalent) for.
