Is that a challenge?
Does anybody know if the official Le Mans stream will have RLM commentary? I can't seem to find any info on it anywhere.

It won't, they haven't been using the radio feed at all for a couple of years now and Graham and John are too busy doing that to do the usual dedicated stream comms.

I can't even remember who they had last year but I do remember the small part I heard not being that great

That's a shame, by far my least favourite bit of watching LM is trying to sync RLM with whatever video I have.

from what I remember (posted by Eve in the MWM collective on Facebook): Le Mans chooses a different set of people to commentate Le Mans. I have zero clue why they do this, but they do. Therefore, while all the 6-hour WEC races have Hindy and Goodwin, the official stream does not for Le Mans - they will be on RLM instead.

Kinda sucks, but at least we now have the option to align streams and cobble together the best coverage. I remember the dark old days when all we had was Speed TV coverage in the U.S. (after the great years where Speedvision had full coverage save the Canadian GP).

and one most likely to be canceled (because holy jesus that circuit :psyduck: ) buuuut too late for anybody to pull a Hulkenberg and make the Le Mans attempt alongside F1 commitments.

Ah well, at least they're not trying to torpedo the entire championship like Bernie did in the early '90s.

The other big 24 hour race coming up, the 24 Hours of Spa looks like it's gonna be cool too, Blancpain just announced they're reviving the N class, which means we'll have Super Trofeo and Ferrari Challenge drivers in the race for maximum hilarity.

He hits the barrier going about 130kph after realizing that brakes do not always stop you.

Note how he decided not to drive into the lengthy part of the escape area & instead decided to turn straight into the fence.

Bad lines, braking way early and slowly leading to him not even fighting the wheel barely. I could probably get in his car and lap better than him. Happy that, that Ferrari team that had him 2 years ago ditched him and went to an all pro lineup in Blancpain and fighting for wins.

Eurosport is and has always been part of the basic Sky package, is it even possible to get Sky Sports without the core Sky pack?

Heres the US schedule

8:30-2:00 Fox Sports 1
2:00-4:30 Fox Sports 2
4:30-6:00 online only
6:00-6:30 Fox Sports 2
6:30-7:00 online only
7:00-7:30 Fox Sports 2
7:30-10:30 online only
10:30-2:30 Fox Sports 2
2:30-9:30 Fox Sports 1

For you non-Americans, almost no one actually gets Fox Sports 2 (I dont think my cable company even offers it) so if you want to watch the race on TV in this country you effetively can only watch the first 5 hours and the final 7 and a half hours (and its been this way for years).
