Le Mans on Eurosport

[Allyc85]

I like Carlton Kirby, but detest Cole, he just constantly sounds like he has a sore throat and sucks the excitement out of everything!

Still, really looking forward to the race. Am I one if the few that doesn’t like the pace advantage Toyota have been given, and want them to fail?

No, I'm hoping they fail miserably, but they should be able to run at a comfortable pace that doesnt stress the car too much. Will be a hollow victory if they do win

ACO have messed GTE up with the BOP changes this morning as well

I have Eurosport included with my Sky package. Only downside is all the adverts.

I might look at the other options to augment this.

Why would you want them to fail?

It's not their fault that Porsche and Audi quit because they cheated the world over diesel emissions!

So is this the Le Mans thread then? I can't find an "official" one.

I don’t really understand the hate for Toyota, how many years did Audi turn up with no real competition and win..

Is there an Oxford English Dictionary explanation of “blithering idiot”?

If not they should just insert a picture of Carlton Kirby the man is an idiot! He is possibley the worst ever motor racing commentator the nonsense he comes out with he may as well be watching it with a blindfold on and earplugs in.

Luckily the vision is good enough to put up with his crap.

Tom Kristensen - it would be nice if he stopped asking his interview question long enough to allow the interviewee to answer.

Good to see him driving those older Le Mans winning cars, amazing to think what those Bentley drivers had to put up with 80+ years ago.

There is a race thread in the lemans section.

Ah, thanks.

No one looks in the events section for a race thread because the events section is just for events organising and being at the events. Not really watching it on TV.

I had no idea there was one until the post above ! Thought it was a bit quiet here!

Same here.

The problem was that I was only looking in my favourites rather than clicking the link for all forums. Then I saw the section.

Good to see the spectre of Colin Kolles providing some early humour.

I'm going to see how I do with the adverts on Eurosport (via Sky).

Amazon Prime are running a free 7 day trial for the Eurosport app, which would give no adverts. Might be worth looking into that - but remember to cancel after.

[p1stonhead]

The WEC app is £9 for the full race with no adverts. Great value.

Eurosport is much improved this year. Last year there were advert breaks every few minutes it felt like but they have been few and far between so far this year.

[Clockwork Cupcake]

Having said that, the current advert break is going on forever

WEC feed is running like a charm and Chandhok and McNish are great. Moody and Haven have been reasonably well behaved so far with no endless labouring of points as they're both prone to.
