I'm searching myself too. Youtube has nothing but promo's at the moment. There's some good knowledge videos on Youtube like Shakedowns and vidoes that the Factories made leading up to the LM24. There is also a couple of test day videos up but the is no commentary. I ended up going to sleep watching the 2 what I think were the best Le Mans last races recently. Drum roll the 2010 & 2011 LM24. LM24 was ok but not as good as 2010 & 2011. Also I think the 2010 Audi R18 was the best looking car they ever designd so far while I'm on this rant'

One of the Nissan websites will be streaming, and speed.com will be a stream for the US, you would most likely lag, but you might be able to catch it.
 
Toyota said they weren't going for fast times and just wanted to test their setups early on, but they didn't get to run a fast lap because the red flag came out with 40minutes left. That's plenty of time gone. Rebellion are in the same boat.

And Audi was in Qualifying trim, extra horsepower for faster times, but during a race the cars are tuned down 150 or so horsepower for reliability. This is a guesstimate based on the fact they were in, "qualifying trim," and with the Group C 787B and Mercedes the qualifying trim for the 787 had an extra 700 RPMs to make how ever much more horsepower and the Mercedes had over 1200 HP instead of the 900 odd they raced in the race. So don't mention the lap times, they aren't a true representation of how it will be race day.
 
Thanks :)👍.

In 2011 they only showed the 1st hour and the last 3 hours
In 2012 they only showed the first and last hour.
Now they are not showing it at all :(.

I get to watch the hour before the race and 17 hours of the race.

Lucky dog, I have to wait to someone airs it on Youtube to get the full 24hrs commercial free. That will take a week minimum. I'm on the Speed.com list but I will be checking out some of these guys live streaming websites over the weekend :fingerscross:
 
They are revving to a whole 4600rpm. The viper doesn't actually meet GTE rules aswell.

Yeah, Jan Magnussen stated the vettes lose about 1.5 seconds on the mulsanne straight.

The vipers seem to have a lot of setup work to do.

Looking forward to the next Quali laptimes today.

Eurosport got the TV rights in Germany.
 
I'm pretty sure the stream is worldwide, although im unsure if it shows the race. You'd probably be better off trying to find a stream of eurosport.

It showed the whole race at Silverstone and Spa as well as all of practice and qualifying yesterday so I'm hopeful, if they do show it all I'll watch that stream on mute with the RLM audio :)
 
The WEC site shows all the WEC races except Le Mans which Eurosport has exclusive European rights to. At best you can expect the same mostly studio based chit chat in French/English.

That's what I thought. I was watching quali on eurosport last night and the commentary was really good. So that's probably everyone's best option!
 
Is Eurosport available in Australia?

The stream? Probably not.

They did have a Foxtel channel a couple of years ago, not sure if it's still on the air. You could probably find a venue, such as a pub, as most of them would have Foxtel.
 
Isn't SPEEDtv broadcasting too? (but i guess you have to pay for it, not sure)

According to this site http://tv.au.eurosport.com/ you are able to watch parts of the Le mans broadcast (but again i do not know if it is free or payTV in your region)

It just show how competitive it's even on qualification at le mans. On Eurosport france they have Pescarolo as commentator and he said that normaly during practice/qualification the first things you ask to the driver is not to crash. Because generaly if you crash, it mess up all your week-end.

The crash was during practice though!
