A few years ago, LeMans was the same week-end as the USGP. As usual, we spent Saturday night in the Starting Line Lounge. Speed's LeMans coverage was on the TV. At 22:00, they cut away from the live race coverage for a 2 hour replay of a minor league stock car race from Toledo, Ohio, that had been run a few weeks before.

That's when we realized that Speed really had been taken over by Faux!

Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some coverage on the net. I don't think we've got anything on our free-to-view tv over here.

I think there will be some UK coverage on Freeview ITV4 channel, a bit of the practice will be shown on saturday and on Sunday they will show some of the race in amongst the BTCC all day coverage.

Speed says when they are not on the air, their website should have streaming coverage so it would be possible to watch the entire 24 hours. Personally I could not stay awake 24 hours straight anymore.

Plenty of action on the grid already.

I've got Eurosport Video up, with the French audio muted, and Radio Le Mans audio feed. I've been listening to Radio Le Mans for the past few days. Those guys are a hoot! Example: they were talking about Peugeot arriving at the track late. They speculated that it might be because they had some important cheese to eat, or that they were attending the World's Smoking Championship.

Audi number 3 car out of the race. Something looks to have broken on the car.

The #3 got a new nose & has returned to the fray!

I've just got back from the shop, to see the Peugeot with a puncture and the turbo hanging out the back.

That started when it hit another Peugeot, one of the factory cars, in the pits!
