Le Mans Eurosport coverage

Discovery+ is only £59.99 for the year and you get more than just Eurosport, and from July it looks like including TNT Sports the new name of BT Sport, so all the MotoGP should be on there too.

TNT will be an add on I believe, and as it will carry football, it won’t be cheap

Thought YouTube would be fine, and it was until this appeared on the screen with an hour to go!

It’s always been a joke with constant and repetitive adverts. I now dislike Coldplay even more and I do not want to go to the cinema to watch The Flash.

I’ve honestly missed the usual Eurosport commentary team.

I hated Coldplay before Le Mans, now I know why. I enjoyed the coverage except for them switching to adverts when there was an important event on the track - why do they do that?

I really enjoyed the ES coverage and commentary - especially Brundle.

Is it not a bit embarrassing for the GT cars to be outqualified by what is basically a NASCAR? The Hendricks Motorsports Camaro peddled by Jenson Button, Jimmie Johnson and Mike Rockenfeller, 4 seconds quicker than the GTs and in amongst the LMP2 cars.

To be fair, the NASCAR has 680 bhp, the same as the Hypercars, compared to 590 bhp for the LMP2s and 525 bhp for the GT cars.

The NASCAR was running TC too.

Christ I take it all back - I was so dissapointed when I realised Eurosport had switched back to their in-house team rather than the world feed they were using for practice. Whilst Alex Brundle is good, TK is an absolute personality vacuum (not knocking his racing skills ;-) ) , and Leigh Diffey really started to grate after 10 mins. RLM was, as always the gold standard. Hindhaughs countdown to green from the top of the Tribune was proper emotional, and showed just how good those guys are at conveying the uniqueness of the event.
I never liked Coldplay or the Flash, like others have said, now I dislike them even more.
