It's on British Eurosport for the whole thing (made up of a couple of programs). Starts on Saturday afternoon at 13:15 and finishes at 14:30 on Sunday afternoon. Sky Channel 410.

So just Eurosport, why are you all calling it British Eurosport, when its not displayed as that on tv listing. No wonder I couldn't find it.
 
Will be supporting the odd driver or team.

Davidson, Chandhok, Senna, Caterham, Dempsey Del-Piero, and the Astons... just for the noise... :D

Because it is British Eurosport we get, not Eurosport International. Just like how what we get as "Discovery Channel" is infact Discovery Channel UK.

British Eurosport TV Schedule

Eurosport International TV Schedule

When you click next week and go through to Saturday/Sunday, both are showing Le Mans anyways.



Oh, and Sky themselves even call it British Eurosport ;). Go to http://tv.sky.com/tv-guide and scroll down to the channel and what do you get...

Guys I am aware of the streams and how I can find them, but is it possible to access Eurosport online legally so I can get a quality stream? I don't mind paying for it but I don't have sky, though I do have Now TV on my XPox thingy so I could set that up if needed.

What do I need to get a high quality race coverage?

There's an apple app, £2.99 a month, so I assume they'll have a streaming website as well.

£4.99 for a month with zero contract.
 
DVI to HDMI cable on its way, so hopefully the old PC will hook straight up to the telly. So far so good :D

Ok, so are we an hour behind France here, so the race starts at 2pm our time / 3pm French time?
 
Is anyone here going? I'm leaving on the Wednesday. Still haven't got round to packing or working out how to put the new tent up!
 
Here are some potential free live feeds from legitimate sources:

http://www.lemans-tv.com/ - seems to be something to do with Dailymotion who are one of (or have been one of) Radio Le Mans' sponsors.

www.racedepartment.com/2013/06/24-hours-of-le-mans-test-day-2013-live-stream/ - This one covered the test day last week, but I don't know if it's covering the actual race. Looks like you have to click here for the actual live stream and it's another one from Dailymotion: http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/chat/

The ACO site seems to suggest there are two official Web TV feeds sponsored by Rolex etc at http://www.24h-lemans.com/en/ and http://www.lemans-tv.com/

On Sunday 16th June the Le Mans 24 Hours WebTV will start to broadcast to provide live coverage of scrutineering.

A studio will be installed on the square where scrutineering and admin. checks are taking place filmed by six cameras, and all the major players in the event will be interviewed until Monday evening 17th June. This programme will be intercut with reports from last year, as well as all the images available of the 2013 event (interviews from the test day, a look back at the operations for the 90th anniversary) as well as numerous videos made by the teams themselves.

The two evening practice sessions on Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th June will also be covered as will the Drivers’ Parade on Friday evening.

Of course, the race will be at the very centre of this service. This year, all the surfers who want to follow it will be able to chose from two channels, one entirely in English and the other in French. Thus for 27 hours non-stop (14h00 on Saturday to 17h00 after the following day’s press conference) footage from the on-board cameras in eleven cars this year will be shown.
...

Created and managed by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, directed by the director Gilles Cousin and Olivier Hamon placed uder the editorial responsibility of Pierre van Vliet and Ben Constanduros, with the help of AMP Visual, AMP Interactive, VO Production and DailyMotion, the 52 hours live broadcasting of the official endurance channel in 2013 will go down in history in the annals of Sports Web TVs!

^I'm guessing that one is the one they usually broadcast on the big screens at the race itself.

Some of the teams broadcast a live feed and have live feeds in their pit boxes. Audi have traditionally done this but I've not ever used it, so let's see what I can find...

Audisport do indeed seem to be going to broadcasting something: http://www.audi-liveracing.com

Corvette Racing: http://www.corvetteracing.com/ - live video from 9am Saturday to 9am Sunday here. I think this is EDT time, so it might be the race time when converted to French time. I think they will be broadcasting from inside their cars as well as the race coverage.

I can't see anything on Toyota Racing, Rebellion Racing, Porsche or Drayson. But it looks like we're not short of free online coverage.
 
Just throwing this in to confuse things:

John Hindhaugh (Radio Le Mans) said:
just to be clear - although LeMans is a round of the WEC they don't have the rights to stream the race on the FiAWEC website. ACO have LeMans.TV but that cannot show race action either - that will be studio based show with some pit interviews. Audi TV can only stream track pictures from their own onboards.

I believe the ONLY streaming pictures are on Europsort in Europe - which is a pay per view site and I've no clue what coverage they show. In the USA Speed have the rights but only when they are NOT live on TV.. work that out!

So the long and the short of it is - if you want TV pictures - get a package with the relevant TV stations... or come to the track!

Sounds like the two Lotus LMP2 cars have been seized and dismantled by a French court order due to financial shenanigans. They look unlikely to be allowed to quali/race. Details a bit sketchy at the mo.
