Usually 3pm.

Just watching the classics and it's not often you see overtaking in the pit lane before the speed limit changes!

Been caught by that before! It's 3pm local time so 2pm BST as per the OP.

Anyone know how to watch/listen to this on a PC? I've got Sky if that helps, but unfortunately need to work today

Eurosport is on Sky Go if you've got access to that.

I never realised sky go did live tv...

Things just got interesting after Warmup, #7 Toyota went 4 tenths faster then they managed in Qualifying on a full tank of fuel and greasy circuit.

Does anyone know any way of fixing the eurosport player on one bitrate? Mine plays smoothly, goes up causing stutter then drops down again producing this horrible ten second cycle of constant changes.

Also the lemans 24 minutes programme... WTF. Worst thing since genocide? Maybe just maybe.

Can you limit the bandwidth to the device from your router or anything? Might be able to find a sweet spot where it'll stay at the same quality setting instead of hunting

Glaucus · 22 Jun 2013 at 13:59

Got eurosport on the tv in HD,

Got laptop out to get the 25hrs of Le Mans comentry/chart with Leo Parente but can't find where it's being hosted, anyone have any idea?

RSR · 22 Jun 2013 at 14:08

Come on Toyota!!!!!

Psycho Ned · 22 Jun 2013 at 14:10

Big smash for one of the Aston Martins there! Safety car.

rpstewart · 22 Jun 2013 at 14:13

That's a nasty one, pretty sure that's their race over. Must be gutting to be out after 3 laps.

Jonny69 · 22 Jun 2013 at 14:14

jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk *pixelate* -buffering- jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk... and it's at least 30 seconds behind the RLMS commentary. What an absolute crock of ****.

Janesy B · 22 Jun 2013 at 14:22

Any idea what happened with that pro am Aston?

Jonny69 · 22 Jun 2013 at 14:30

Seemed to lose it on the way out of Tertre Rouge. This is the long sweeping corner that leads into the Mulsanne straight.

Jonny69 · 22 Jun 2013 at 15:02

Just did a quick calculation:

Audi:

10 laps per tank - 85.2 miles

Capacity: 58l = 12.8 gallons

Consumption: 6.66mpg

Toyota:

12 laps per tank - 102.2

Capacity: 76l = 16.8 gallons

Consumption: 6.1mpg

@ average 155mph on a lap on a 3:20 lap.

I thought the diesels had a bigger efficiency advantage over the petrol cars than that.

Katoom · 22 Jun 2013 at 15:05

Aren't the Toyota's hybrids though? Won't that boost the MPG a little?

Jonny69 · 22 Jun 2013 at 15:22

Yep, so are the Audi diesels.

This site is pretty cool, it's got a list of links to all the cars with onboard cameras. So that's all the Audis, both the Toyotas, Stratus and Greaves in LMP2, two Corvettes and two Porsches. Awesome :cool:
