le mans coverage

[mickk]

just been watching le mans on euro-sport. they say
4000 t.v.r. supporters have made the trip. can this
be right?

[adam quantrill]

Can someone post the TVR car numbers please?

Also any news web sites apart from

www.lemans.org

would be useful, for those times when eurosport is off the air.

Cheers,

- Adam

Does anyone know what's going wrong with The number 96 (I believe it's this one, but I'm not sure ?
In fact, just after the start of the race, this car was moving very slow, and I believe it get to the garage.
Anyone knows what happened?

Don't know what was wrong with it but it's back out now.

[PetrolTed]

Still limping around apparently.

[adam quantrill]

Yeah but it doesn't stay on english and goes back to french - at least on my browser.

Any inside news on the 96 car?

Was stuck in the pits for 20 minutes or so but is back out now.

[PetrolTed]

Was slow even after the pit stop according to observers locally.

Also reports of the other car smoking.

[westfieldxtr2]

ok, I hope that both cars will going well now.
I hope that both will finish the race.

talking of le mans coverage, im a bit dissapointed in the tv coverage in that there is none!! its finished on eurosport and itv, and not on motors tv, so unless i have missed something is not back until 1am on eurosport i think

[yellow peril]

In France, Public TV coverage was just a 25 minutes on the start. They show we 15 minutes about prototypes and 10 minutes about GTs
I could see for the first time a TVR when The number 96 was going slowly, and the presentator didn't know that this car was a TVR : appalling
On the TV, it's 25 minutes for the start and 1 hours for the end of the race. What a coverage

Lucky you.
Does the coverage mainly treat about proto, or does it treat about protos as much as GTs?
