So for those of us who couldn't make it to Le Mans this year just thought I would pass the time to see what everybody at home has as a set-up.

I'm planted on the sofa for the next 24hr's with the tv turned up loud, radio le mans on the computer with timing screens, two crates of beer and a pile of takeaway menus at the ready to try and give me the le mans food experience.

So what are you rocking at home!?

Flat out on the sofa, Eurosport through the surround sound turned UP, Lemans.org timing screen on the lap top, a packet of fig rolls and the girlfriend out with the dog. I'm in it for the duration.

Eurosport on the TV, live timing screen on laptop, iPad on Facebook, so I can get live updates from those that are there along with Blackberry Messenger with updates from those who are trackside.

If that car was a bit higher it would have missed the tyre wall and hit the 2nd fence and possibly taken out some photographers!! Glad to see Alan out and in one piece clap

That accident was truly terrifying. I hope everyone behind the wall is ok.

ETA: I've got Eurosport running on my laptop, but I'm watching it on my TV via HDMI cable. Unfortunately, that means I can't have the live timing up at the same time if I have the race on full-screen, but never mind.


Roll on this evening, time to break out the beer!

One of the photographers was totally oblivious to the flying wheel, that would have been death if he had been a couple of meters closer.

In my opinion the Ferrari shouldn't have been there when there was an LMP1 car behind.

That looked bloody horrific,glad mcnish is ok.
My other half has gone on a girlie birthday holiday with her sister and mates, leaving me home alone watching the race.
I always listen to the tv commentary around the midnight shift for sir neville hays dulcit tones.

42" surround eurosport HD, live timing on the desktop, chinese menu on standby espresso also on standby..... and all phones switched off !! .

Very similar to last year - but with the addition - thanks to a last minute run into France we have French Red sausages and French Beer.
