Same old same old

The adverts are getting to the point where I am inevitably considering paying for the ad-free version.

Awful commentary too.

FAI WEC/24h Le Mans apps give you the race for £8.50, no ads, much better commentary.

Or try searching for "virtual gamer 84" on Twitch.

(that one appears to have died, try "ioplup" instead)

Radio Lemans with eurosport on mute for now. Might pay for the app to save my blood pressure.

Eurosport is pretty annoying with both adverts and commentators.

Thankful for the WEC link. Worth paying for over Eurosport player. €9.99, dunno how that compares to Eurosport player.

Definitely worth it. Works out around 30p per hour! biggrin

Only buggeration with the app has been the slightly temperamental casting to TV feature, but once up and running it's remained that way, and picture quality is pretty decent.

The twitch streams are less good, but better than suffering through the Eurosport ads, and therefore proving handy for "pop it on the iPad while I go and make a coffee", rather than having to interrupt the app while it's casting.

I have now got to the point, as with most years, where I have to decide whether to switch off Sky Eurosport and just give up on Le Mans, or pay for Eurosport player.

During that last bore-interruption in one of the small screens we saw what looked like the LMP1 Alpine had spun at Indianapolis, reversed out and almost hit by another car, commentators haven't mentioned it.

@CC Maybe consider the FIAWEC subscription rather than reward ES for the state of the coverage.

It happened at the start and was covered, what you saw was a replay recap.

That was a highlight from right at the start of the race.

Ah thanks, I watched the start, then took the doggo for a walk so must have missed it originally then.

For those looking for streams, you can get a free trial of Eurosport for 7 days on Amazon - has worked for me and I've got HD coverage, plus not jittering like normal prime video.

The Eurosport commentators are awful. Who ever the old boy is he needs to retire.
