2008 24 Hours of Le Mans is underway
As many of you are well aware, the 24 Hours of Le Mans kicked off during the last hour. American viewers can catch the action on SPEED TV. Unfortunately, unlike the old Speedvision days, there isn't full 24-hour coverage.
Here is the SPEED TV schedule:
All times Eastern
- Saturday, June 14: 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Live Coverage
- Saturday, June 14, 9:00 PM - Sunday, June 15, 9:30 AM: Live Coverage
Web Coverage:
- RadioLeMans.com has excellent live streaming audio. Just go to their homepage and click the Listen Live link. It dovetails nicely with the SPEED TV coverage (when it's on).
- The official Le Lans site has standings, photos, and info. You can also get web video of the race there at Club24Web, but you will need to open your wallet to do so.

I'm not a Finn, but I do know Eurosport is having a "blanket coverage" of the event, but it will be spread between a couple of Eurosport channels and there will be (I know, wtf) bits of cycling and some other events in between. Was watching just now and WOW I just added a new destination to my dream holidays list
I especially like that Aston Martin DBR9 vs Corvette battle

Ah go it. Program info seems to be focked up for me with Eurosport by some reason.

Go team Corvette!!! Show those snobby stereotypes that they don't know what they are talking about. C6R FOREVER!

Well, that was an AWESOME race, and seems like Astons got the better of Corvettes. Hey, there's always next year! :)

why not the LS2LS7? 11:21AM (6/14/2008)
I wish to back up the recommendation about radiolemans.com.
When Speed breaks off, radiolemans has excellent all-night coverage. Their coverage is mostly audio, honestly, they just take their video from the ACO feed and it isn't necessary to watch it to enjoy their coverage. And in fact much of the night there isn't anything to see outside the pits (which are lit) anyway.

The Dutch broadcast station RTL GP has a live stream up and running. There might be some Dutch commentary every now and then, but most of the time (about 90%) it's just the engine noise. There's a lot of good action going on right now.
You can view it here: http://www.rtl.nl/(/sport/rtl_gp/rtlgp/)/sport/rtl_gp/components/rtlgp/articles/rtlgp_live_stream.xml

Nope - only for dutch users. Doesn't work in Denmark, anyways... This one seems to work OK - but no commentary:

I'm glad there are fellow Americans who watch real racing like this instead of redneck chicken shi* events were hideous boxy cars that look like hot wheels race around an oval nonsensically.

Another year of sub-par SpeedTv coverage.
