Who's following this years Le Man?
Back here in the UK tv coverage is a bit lacking but I'm following it on radio Le Mans.
http://www.radiolemans.com/ Fingers crossed some of the more interesting moments will end up on you tube. |

I heard that Peugeot is competing with a diesel powered car.

So far, I've watched all of the SPEED channel's coverage.
In 40 minutes they will resume broadcasting 'til the end of the race. I'll see how I hold up. The Flying Lizard RSR is out right now with bad trans. I hope they get it sorted. They are based 15 minutes from my house at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma. Most of the focus is on the two diesel teams...Which is annoying. KT

Yes, I'm watching the 24 hours of pit stops. I don't know why.
So far I've seen hundreds of pit stops and 30 seconds of actual racing. Maybe there is no race. Maybe it is all a scam, a bunch of cars come into camera for a pit stop, leave, then wait an hour and pull in again. Now I really don't expect much from the french, but you think they could at least point a camera at the race track once in a while. Worst coverage of a motorsporting event I have ever seen. |

LOL, the anouncer just came right out and explained that they were at the mercy of the international feed and that most of the french cameramen were taking an extended break because they were tired, hence the constant pit stop feed. He said sorry and thanked us for our patience. How pitiful is that?
I bet if they had german cameramen they would still be filming
