Trackside is already packed opposite the pits. Mad for 9:15.

Something to do with the tyres failing and fears of incidents in a longer race.

How are people watching?

I have Eurosport on my Sky package but generally that's a case of "We're just going to take a quick Le Mans break, but we'll be right back to the adverts shortly". The other option is take out an actual Eurosport subscription for £6.99 a month and cancel before it renews. Apparently you get the continuous feed that way.

Get Discovery + on your Sky box. It's free if you have the sports package. Same feed as Eurosport, no ads.

I don't have the Sky Sports package, I have the Legacy F1 package.

I went to take out a Eurosport subscription but it turns out it is now actually part of Discovery+ anyway. So started a £6.99 per month subscription and then immediately cancelled, which gives me a month of Discovery+ including Eurosport starting today and ending on 15th July

So that's me sorted

There is the Le Mans TV app also.

Continuous coverage and timings etc.

You can pay for just Le Mans race.

Pretty certain it allows connection or screen share to put it onto a bigger TV. Or smart TV might allow the app.

Ferrari WEC team about as well-organised as their F1 team!
