Save going through the other threads, let's have this one as a standalone for the online resources and feeds as they become available.

TIMES

Race starts at 2pm Saturday UK time = 3pm French time. Race finishes at 2pm Sunday UK time = 3pm French time.

LIVE TIMING

http://www.fiawec.com

LIVE COMMENTARY

BEST online commentary is Radio Le Mans: http://www.radiolemans.com/

LIVE VIDEO

Full race is shown live on Eurosport in Europe, Fox Sports in USA and LETV in China. Eurosport can be viewed online for £5.99 but it's well recognised that it can be touch and go and ironically the hijacked feeds can be more reliable and use less data.

UK has the first couple of hours on Quest from 1:30pm Saturday, channel 37 on Freeview, highlights at 7am on Sunday, and the final hour of the race.

There is the ACO app for ios and android for a small fee. Not tried it but a few forum members said they had problems during the other WEC races.

COUCH KIT

Reilly Brennan's Couch Kit always has good resources. the 2014 version had links to all 14 in-car feeds from the teams so hopefully they will update this page as they become available: http://reillybrennan.com/post/120465643925/2015-24-hours-of-le-mans-couch-kit-streaming

Ok, that gets us going. What else is there? Twitter feeds are quite handy if anyone knows any good ones, particularly there was a site a couple of years ago that had wrapped up a number of twitter feeds and the live timing in one. Anyone remember where that was?
 
For online streaming, I think the official WEC site is a much better bet than Eurosport. Continuous stream with no ad breaks, RLM commentary plus all the on-board feeds too.

Also worth noting is that you can subscribe online and then use that account for the mobile app - I'm pretty sure that last year you'd have had to buy twice.
 
WEC app is pretty good so far.
First time I've used it to be honest, but it's better than the F1 app that's for certain. Just because it has many video feeds.

The rest is kind of on a par with the F1 app, but the F1 app has less cars to deal with so can display more info.

This in every respect. Have been watching the qualifying on the WEC site and it's fantastic. Plus it has various on board cameras and the live timing on the same page too.

It's also good as you can get an annual subscription if you want to watch the whole WEC series.
 
Twitter-wise, I'm following the official FIAWEC and 24Hrs feeds plus @Audi__Sport, @PorscheRaces & @RebellionRacing.

Also have a #LM24 search feed going but it's a tad busy to say the least, even filtering out the retweets! :)

I too have been very impressed with it, a really nice app that just works well and has a superb stream quality. See above though, how can I get it on my TV will AirPlay to Apple TV work?
