The 2020 Le Mans 24hrs Watching from Home Thread
Discussion
Now then Comrades.
As we all will have to be sat on our sofas rather than on a spectator banking or grandstand this year perhaps we need a thread for people to post links to the media coverage of the event.
Hopefully teams and drivers will be doing extra social media and video content to keep people up to date, so if you see anything good post it in here...
Also post up pictures of your viewing setups, bonus points for multiple screens with live timing and in-car video streams...
It has been worryingly quiet about the tv coverage, usually you would have to pay for Eurosport or the WEC app but neither seem to mention the 24hrs yet (WEC site just has a link to buy access to last week's Spa race) perhaps this means some sort of free video stream will be available?
The WEC site also says no coverage of free practice, which is either outdated info or we're going to be listening to the radio for most of Thursday instead.
Some Links to get us started:
http://www.radiolemans.co/ - Audio commentary and hopefully some preview podcasts (I had to turn my adblocker off to get the 'listen live' link to work)
https://www.lemans.org/en/24-hours-of-le-mans - Official site with timetable in various timezones.
https://www.fiawec.com/en/race/show/4643 - FIA WEC site's LM24 page

Radio Le Mans - 2200 - Countdown to Le Mans pt1
In other rumours, ACO Members to get free access to content on the WEC App, and by implication the rest of us will have to pay. Nothing showing on the FIA WEC website yet.
