In the past few hours I've found some excellent stuff for all of us stuck at home.
Some will be old, some will be new to you. Worthwhile to get it all in one place.

£3.99 for Eurosport live coverage - works brill, streams at HD quality for me - excellent. All the channels plus catch up stuff, fantastic.

http://www.radiolemans.com

Radio Le mans. Legendary. Streams from the homepage. Works on iphone etc, low bitrate so can get it when your out and about away from your wifi at home.

http://www.thomasbaekdal.com/mini-sites/lemans2011...

Brilliant Le mans tracker - latest track updates, and loads of twitter feeds.

http://www.robertsonrace.com/live-blog.html

Roberston racing live blog - some interesting stuff, regularly updated.

Live Ustream into the Corvette Garages - just been watching them beavering away earlier tonight!

http://livetiming.alkamelsystems.com/lms/

Another timing site -laps, updates, positions etc - looks good (kind of like the F1 timing site that the FIA run?)

Another twitter list of Le-mans tags

http://twitter.com/#!/search/le%20mans

More twitter - General Le mans search. Updates with all sorts of snippets.



Feel free to add to this! Just thought its useful to put stuff in one place.

The internet age really adds a new dimension to these events - not so long ago it would just be something we read about in next weeks Autosport.

I can't take credit - it's all pinched from other places like the rlm forum. But it's still useful!

Same here, it's very good, despite the odd buffering/loading hiccup every so often.

I've tried running the Radio Le Mans commentary alongside the Eurosport pictures but it often doesn't make any sense as they seem to be looking at different things a lot of the time. Shame, 'cos I've really enjoyed RLM when I've been at the circuit.

Never mind though, I'm still chuffed to even be watching biggrin

The eurosport hd is about 20 seconds behind what is true live, hence why it doesn't always match up.

Hindy is on eurosport later today anyway sp not so bad.

Ah, gotcha. I only tried pairing them right at the beginning, so I hadn't worked that out!
