24 Heures du Mans

[BeeEmm]

24 hours of Le Mans this weekend. Not going this year, but will watch as much as I can on Eurosport.

 

[mmm-five]

I'll watch it online with some live stream and Radio LeMans again...whilst getting ready to drive to Germany for the Nurburgring 24hr

yep, downloaded the free trial of eurosports just for this weekend! going to do 2pm - 9pm round a mates house, 10-1am at home, try and catch a few hours on sunday morning before breakfast, then home for the final 3 hours.

hoping for a good result for the Astons this year, seeing as they're built in the same building I work in!

There’s also extended (but not full) coverage on Quest HD on Freeview.

ooh dear what went wrong with the Aston’s? So good in qualifying then terrible in the race!
What a brilliant race it was though. The gte pro race was fantastic all the way through.
So much more entertaining watching that than the drivel that f1 has turned into.

well, we got a balance of performance change of less fuel, and less boost pressure before the race, so our top speed was down... also, while we had good one lap pace (for one car), our race pace was poor... so, a forgettable race for us!

but yes, the rest of the race was decent, especially the GTE Pro - just a shame there were no Astons in it!

There was also the suggestion that some cars decided to sandbag a little in practice/quail so that they didn’t end up be handicapped like the Astons...borne out by the fact that their race pace was somewhat quicker than those who had qualified faster than them.
