There will probably be footage streamed on the Eurosport website during this break, so no need to wash the wife or talk to the car.

Are motorsTV not showing LeMans again this year?

MotorsTV lost the rights to Eurosport on the grounds that Eurosport is more high profile.

Oh

snap I've always liked motors TV coverage too.

[Chocmonster]

Plus Motors went straight through the night.

Are Eurosport showing the support race on Saturday morning, the old GroupC cars?

so is there no coverage on free to air TV? do I have to cough up for satellite?

[The Walrus]

Please tell me there is at least some internet coverage, can we not pay a pistonheaf member to constantly stream from there phone, as until the day I have to I refuse to pay for sky !!!

[anonymous-user]

crickey whats with all this moaning anyone reading this would think its been on BBC1 live for the last ten years.... so what if it doesnt go through the night, how many people will be watching at 3.30am? my guess is about <10% of those who claim they will...

for what its worth i think this is pretty bloody good coverage all things considered. i think we should be pretty grateful that its shown at all, regular TV channels couldnt give a toss (hello BBC!) and eurosport is pretty high profile. its slap in the middle of the european football championships and some tennis too...

[The Walrus]

Pablo seeing as you have sky I presume ??? can you set up your webcam and we will all join you on MSN messenger or something and watch that way ????

[Piglet]

It *may* be good coverage, we'll have to wait and see.

What we do know is that Eurosport are notoriously poor at showing programmes at their scheduled times and on the scheduled channel - recording Eurosport is a nightmare, but OH likes the beach volleyball I invariably record!!

There may be live streaming on the Eurosport website, that was great for the Moto 24 except it went down overnight and didn't come back until just before the finish. Needless to say having plugged the service during the first half of the TV coverage, they absolutely failed to mention it after it stopped working! It may well have been entirely out of their control but an explanation of sorts would have been helpful...

Good wager

tennis will overrun
gymnastics will overrun
snooker will overrun
darts will overrun

any other tosh will overun too.

There are ways to watch it via the internet, the Eurosport website and SpeedTV via TUV Player spring to mind.

For the benefit of anyone attempting to google, it's TVU player, channel 53060 "Wheels"

I will be there so no watching it on TV for me

But the Motors TV coverage was brilliant.

Getting ready for work in the morning, seeing the drivers on tv at the sign on was entertaining.

I enjoyed all the extras that Motors tv showed, it gave a really good feel for the event.

For those without Sky/Cable, have a look about half way down this thread for the post by cavebloke, as the same will apply this year.

Ive watched quite a few footie matches and the Indy 500 using feeds from there, its not broadcast quality but usually completely watchable. Using a combination of the PC and an old Xbox with XBMC installed, I can even watch it on the TV rather than the laptop screen, which is quite funky.
