I've been enjoying the coverage so far for qualifying etc. A bit jokey, some good discussions - sounds like they're having fun. And who's the guy that keeps going "ooh ooh ooh, I've just seen something"? Loadsa fun biggrin

the coverage is very good from Monday to know.

Has anybody seen the live timing form the Le mans website, it is a waste of time, when the red flag was out it says there was still like 5 cars running.

But when the session started it said everybody was in the pits when they were clearing driving around.

What about the refresh time of 4mins more like 4 hours in my opinion

Motors TV finishes 30 mins after the end of the race - don't forget the early start time this year.

ACO live timing is very poor - OK, I'll say it, it's crap!

Motor TV on the box (sound off) and RLM on the computer for the commentary - perfect como. IMHO!

MotorsTV have non-stop coverage of the whole race which starts 1hr earlier than normal this year due to elections or something so it's starts at 2pm and consequently will finish this year at 2pm UK time. Champcar on the guide at 2:30pm Sunday is right, if the Le Mans celebrations over-runs at the end the Champcars will be a few minutes later than schedule.

I have been watching the coverage so far, and although those who like football will find it boring, for us die-hards who can't make it this year, then the coverage is fantastic, no other races get as much TV coverage as this, well done MotorsTV.

Now if only they had enough money to secure the F1 coverage too, imagine what you'd get, coverage all day for Friday and Saturday, including warm up sessions, driver parades etc, then extensive coverage of the race smile

Oh yes, and NO COCK in ear shot smilesmile

well as a football fan i find it gret, the commentators know tehir stuff but offer great insights too. sportscars look so much beter than F1 cars, its nice just to see them on track, GT1 will be great this year, corvette vs aston vs saleen....

The commentators (Martin Haven, Mark Cole & David Leslie) have been very funny so far this week. They have even been posting on the MotorsTV forums while on air and have been getting their own back after some of us were taking the mickey out of them. biggrin

If you want to get a name check in the coverage then head over to www.motorstv.co.uk, forums link on the left and then endurance one.

Is that you Graham?

I've got an idea we need to chat about, I'll give you a buzz after the new site goes live on Monday.
