As far as I can see there is no terrestrial TV coverage of LeMans! I'm sure it's on Sky Sports 12 or something, but for those of us without council house telly, it appears you can't even watch for free online.

How many Brits go to that every year? 50,000 or something? It's a huge number, surely ITV could replace Celebrity Pets Say The Funniest Things with a couple of hours of coverage?

There's always radio LeMans, but that doesn't seem to like my version of real player.

Ah well, I'll drive down next year rolleyes

It's just not popular enough, same with rallies.

On the plus side though if you do have satelite or cable Motors tv have the entire weekend on (And all the events of the previous week too!) I'm watching it at the moment. It does seem a shame no one else is bothered, I remember the BBC used to show highlights on the Sunday years ago, but they all seem to have lost interest now.

ITV did it quite recently.

Can't believe theres no streaming coverage. Found one, but you had to pay a subscription.

Ah well - guess it'll be another Audi walkover, although I would prefer to see Peugeot win smile

Yes I remember that one, a report by Raymond Baxter at 11:50 for 10 mins. I used to beg my Mum to let me stay up to see it.

Why not go and watch the diesel cars going round the M25?
