Le Mans Live on TV

[IPAddis]

As I shall be unable to make the gathering this year, does anyone know if it is shown live an uninterrupted on telly.

I'm planning a consolation 48 hour binge drinking session in front of the telly with some mates instead. Unfortunately, the house holder has objected to lighting a BBQ in his lounge for fire safety reasons although I'm told that a beer mountain will be acceptable.

Typical. The entire planet comes to a halt for a football game between two random teams but they give lip service to one of the most important sporting events in the universe.

I wouldn't mind if it was such an obscure past time that there were a handful of supporters but it's so popular, you can't even get tickets to the damned event.

I've started that already

One of the attendees has a Discovery so we're planning to drive around the back garden singing "Bentley Boys, Bentley Boys, Bentley Boys" after the race and then revving the nuts of the engine until something breaks.

On the way out of the bloke's drive, I plan to drive the Griff over a as many pot holes as I can find so that I can get the full "Nuts, there goes my splitter" effect.

I also suggested to a German friend that he might want to sit in the corner of the room and not talk to us for most of the evening but he didn't seem to get the joke.

We've got some fairy liquid to empty into the bath, some Scalextric cars with burnout track section and a copy of "Hotpants Monthly" magazine so the Driver's Parade is covered.

Sadly, plans to set light to the sofa after the race are progressing slowly with much opposition from the owner of said sofa.

You really need two naked women for the full "Le Mans Entertainment" experience and they haven't agreed to it the last 768 times I've asked so I can't forsee any change now.
