24 Hours of Le Mans couch kit
Until 6AM tomorrow morning I am hunkered down watching my favorite motor race in the world. I was lucky enough to attend the race twice as a team member but these days I watch from the command center known as my laptop. If you want to follow along, I’ve pulled together some of the better resources here:
Audio stream
- Radio Le Mans: The team at Radio Le Mans does round-the-clock, we-never-stop coverage and they are quite good — and funny, which is what you need when you cover something for that long.
TV streams
- Eurosport hijacked through someone’s Justin.tv account. Seems to be delayed from live by about 15 seconds.
- Speed.tv splits their coverage between broadcast and online, meaning that when it’s on TV it’s not online. That is sort of frustrating, but when the feed is on it is very, very crisp. Click the bottom right thumbnail.
- Corvette on-board: Actually the same as the Speed link above, but click on the top thumbnail on the right.
- Audi on-board: The little map on the right is useful. Note the audio here is from Radio Le Mans.
- Peugeot on-board: This is really great and you can control multiple cameras from on-boards to pit views.
Timing/Scoring
- ACO: Official timing and scoring from Le Mans
- Baekdal’s dashboard: A mix of a twitter feed from official sources and timing and scoring.
