Official "Staying at home" LM24 2012 thread

[playalistic]

OK, I thought I'd be the first sad bugger to kick this one off this year since my family saw fit to book our Cornish holiday over the Le Mans period.

I'll be watching it via a stream in our Cornish villa by Constantine Bay. Lots of beer and a barbecue weather permitting (which looks unlikely as it will be chucking it down most of the week just to add insult to injury)

Pics of your home setup should be posted as should any beer mountains!

Stuck at work for the weekend as there is currently a restriction on leave, not happy. Can't go and can't watch it either

Mate that sucks, if you have an iPhone you can stream via eurosport. Just an option?

Checking in, monuentally annoyed this year that

A - i'm not on a ferry.

B - I've just moved into a new house and have no internet!

At least last year I had the (excellent) streaming HD eurosport and RLM... this year, I've only got a 2g signal on my mobile, so I'm relying on you boys to keep me updated please.

Yours, Devastated of Leeds.

Poor show! Beg the neighbours to let you on their wireless for the weekend? The 21st century equivalent of popping over for a cup of sugar! Or you could get a 3G dongle pay-and-go, £20 quid credit should see you through the weekend

Stay at home for the first time in ages too.

Our first baby is due today.

Bad timing on my part - there needs to be a thread in September reminding us: "NO SEX THIS MONTH OR YOU MIGHT MISS LE MANS NEXT YEAR!!"

Schoolboy error, everyone knows September is h**djob month

As expected it is absolutely tipping it down here in Cornwall. Pretty much galeforce too, but who gives a flying fk it's race day!

[playalistic]

Serious chills as they crossed the line to start! Heres to a great race.

http://live.lemans-tv.com/ isn't bad too, has live timing beneath the feed. I'm watching via Eurosport player and listening via Radio Le Mans. All good so far.

Mixing up the streams I'm watching, just been viewing the Audi TV one for the last ten minutes. The onboard with telemetry is pretty if you haven't seen it already.

Shows that those arch vents mandated for safety are absolutely useless! Thankfully both drivers ok but that's one less Toyota in the mix. I think I need a stiff drink!

Loving the setup pics

Morning all.

Never mind the race, did PoleDriver get laid?

Looks like Kristensen can smell blood... Making up 3 seconds a lap on Fasler.
