***Official Le Mans 24 Hours Thread***

Can't wait now.

Got 2 days in London on Thursday and Friday *my birthday this weekend * so doing lots of stuff during the week with the other half, and then I'm being stuck in front of the 60" tv with Eurosport at the weekend with a ready supply of bacon and egg butties, coffee and jelly babies.

Not a bad weekend at all.

 

[Skeeter]

So annoyed that all I am going to see of the race will be however much I decide to stay up for late Saturday night, and a small amount Sunday morning

I'm out for both the start and the finish.

How do you pick radio le mans, is it an internet radio station.

If you have a Sonos then Radio Le Mans is available directly from their list of internet stations. Just search, select and add to favourites .

Just watching 24 Minutes on Eurosport, this presenter is cringe worthy.

I know its hard to believe but I think he gets worse every year..

I know its hard to believe but I think he gets worse every year..

You mean he's a regular? I've never seen him before, and he had the image of a complete newby

Gutted I'm missing this, was an epic race last year.


leo parente and a few others did a 24 hour live coverage, debate type thing last year which was brilliant.

 

[Glaucus]

He is doing a 25hr live talk thing again, not sure what the link is yet.
Hes done a small segment on lemans eview. Including some fuel usage stats for the various engines. About 4mins in

This time tomorrow I should be sitting down to a dirty great big plate of greasy breakfast on the ferry

 

[GravyMonster]

Is that the full entry list? I thought there were a couple of MP4-12Cs and R8 GT3s?

 

[Skeeter]

ACO GTE regulations are not the same as the FIA GT3 regulations. As far as I know there isn't a GTE spec model of either the Audi or the McLaren.

 

[GravyMonster]

Ah

Practice 1 is on now: http://www.radiolemans.com
Direct link to player: http://radiolemans.0157.org/nplayer.php

Does anyone know of a live video stream?

 

[Skeeter]

Cheers for the heads up Spunky. My phone (Android) didn't like the link on the website, so I've installed TuneIn and its available on there.

Interesting listening to them talk about the Toyotas silent pull away from the pits. Did the ACO make electric only power in the pitlane a requirement for the Hyprids like they planned to then?

 

[Housey]

Anyone know of a live stream for practice?

 

[GravyMonster]

No, I did search but Radio Le Mans is the best I've found.

Just read on Twitter that the Delta Wing is STILL running on the same set of tyres they completed the first test day with
Thats some seriously impressive tyre wear they've got.

 

[Skeeter]

Yeah, but it has only done 4 laps this session so far... which makes it 57 laps in total?

 

[Skeeter]

Does anyone know of a website that explains the the Hybrid rules for Le Mans? I'm struggling to understand them. Theres something to do with activation zones and braking zones?

 

[webmonkeyuk]

Anyone know of a live stream for practice?

is it ok to list live streams on here or is it against the rules?

 

[Skeeter]

Depends on the stream.

Illegal streams are against the rules (so most that stream a TV chanel), but if you can find a free to air one then it will be fine.

I think Audi are broadcasting the race online for free.

 

[webmonkeyuk]

oh ok i wont list the ones i use then but yeh the audi live stream is very good but its only for the race
