If you subscribe to the channel, you'll get notifications 30 mins before it goes live. And there are plenty of in car streams.

I also use the free version of the GPSauge app, and have had it for 7-8 years; a map of the track with live tracking, and any yellow flags, etc

Estre being Estre.....I watched his charge from last year on You Tube the other day......something else. Manthey came from virtual last on the first lap in 2008 to win; they know how to win this race from all kinds of positions.

As a diehard Porsche fan, with the marque out due to various reasons for various teams, what a race! Superb and right down to the line. 8 second gap between lead pair at about 20hrs.

I’d have loved to see Manthey up there. Estre’s charge from 36th to mid 20’s on lap 1 was classic.

As for VAG engines, yes the even the winning Audi was being topped up with oil.
I was disappointed about the Manthey going out; after a great charge from Estre, and Makowiecki. To be fair, Laurens has held his hand up and admitted his error; the thing is he missed a yellow in the 2019 race whilst leading - and got a 3 min Stop/Go.

And then we had the leading car under investigation, for a pitlane violation; starting the car while re-fuelling, which they quickly rectified. However, they got a 32 sec penalty and a Euro 5,000 fine. Where did 32 secs come from - it seems a bit random. 30 secs I can understand, but 32....

in 2019 Grello's penalty was a 5 minutes, stop and hold ended up being 30 seconds or something longer than their lead at the time

The punishment seemed to be designed to stop them winning

LV has made some major errors in the last couple of years, including Daytona and N24 this year
I'd forgotten the exact time, but had heard about a 3 minute penalty this year mentioned for a yellow flag infringement. They ended up finishing 2nd, only to be disqualified a week or so later for a discrepancy with the car.
