What’s the best option to watch, Eurosport, WEC app or anything else?
Thanks

I believe there are 7-day free trials available for Eurosport.

If you're watching the whole 24 hours then record it on Eurosport and start watching it 4 hours or thereabouts after the true start time, then FF through every advert break and you should catch up just as the chequer falls...

It (Eurosport app/stream) was massively laggy last year - towards the end I'd given up & just stuck w/ Radio Le Mans and pics via Twitter.

It's frustrating watching on Eurosport, the commentary can be pretty awful at times depending who they've got in the box at the time and they will have an ad break every 10 minutes (And it's usually only 1 set of ads, so you'll see the same ones over and over )

I think the WEC app is 8 quid for the race, I found it well worth it last year

Just had a look at the App & it's £8.49 this year.

I watch on Eurosport player and they have a stream that has no adverts.

Last year with Eurosport:
TV - 'Free' but with ad breaks and only the 1 stream.
Amazon Prime + Eurosport Player - main TV stream (with ads) and a couple of other in car/etc streams - but NOT the add free main stream.
Eurosport Player - The most streams, includng the ad free version of the main TV one.

Is it just me or was having the main qualifying session both stripped right down to 1hr and BEFORE most of the practice sessions a rather st idea?

Now we get to look forward to seeing the cars who got lucky with clear-ish laps go for their class hyperpoles (then a few of them get swallowed in a couple of laps by the actual fastest cars in their class who didn't get a lucky lap between the flag rainbow session).

[Truckosaurus]

Yes. Having a short qualifying and a hyperpole seems a bad idea. Have one or the other.

[MortyC137]

Hyperpole rhymes with hyperbole, right? It does in my head.

Kind of pointless running for the hypercars yesterday, they would all make it through to hyperpole anyway. Top 6 go through, but there's only 5 cars in LMH
