Le Mans Live on TV
Discussion
As I shall be unable to make the gathering this year, does anyone know if it is shown live an uninterrupted on telly.
I'm planning a consolation 48 hour binge drinking session in front of the telly with some mates instead. Unfortunately, the house holder has objected to lighting a BBQ in his lounge for fire safety reasons although I'm told that a beer mountain will be acceptable.

It's usually shown on EuroSport, not the full 24hours though, you'll get a bit of build up, the start, 1st hour or so, then snippits through out the day some live, and the best pre-recorded bits, then the finish, if it's the same as last year, I usually try and record as much as possible so I can see what I missed by actually being there 
Ian it's a shame you can't come but here are some more suggestions to make your weekend seem that bit more realistic :
# Make sure that you and your mates all go to the loo at the same time and thus form an orderly queue outside the bog (perhaps stand on the loo seat to replicate the hole in the ground ?)
# Put up some fairy lights and get a number of swivel chairs with wheels on them and then race round the living room replicating Ready Stop Death at the Fairground.
# On the fairground theme maybe you can get your girlfriend to cavort naked in front of your mates. Introduce a reptile for real authenticity.
# Your householder may not be totally sold on a BBQ but try him with a full firework display and the idea of ragging his car round the garden when your most pi**ed.

IPAddis said: Typical. The entire planet comes to a halt for a football game between two random teams but they give lip service to one of the most important sporting events in the universe.
I think someone should forward this quote to the BBC - Now that they have umpteen channels at least one of them could be devoted to LeMans for a weekend !

I've started that already
One of the attendees has a Discovery so we're planning to drive around the back garden singing "Bentley Boys, Bentley Boys, Bentley Boys" after the race and then revving the nuts of the engine until something breaks.
On the way out of the bloke's drive, I plan to drive the Griff over a as many pot holes as I can find so that I can get the full "Nuts, there goes my splitter" effect.
I also suggested to a German friend that he might want to sit in the corner of the room and not talk to us for most of the evening but he didn't seem to get the joke.
We've got some fairy liquid to empty into the bath, some Scalextric cars with burnout track section and a copy of "Hotpants Monthly" magazine so the Driver's Parade is covered.
Sadly, plans to set light to the sofa after the race are progressing slowly with much opposition from the owner of said sofa.
You really need two naked women for the full "Le Mans Entertainment" experience and they haven't agreed to it the last 768 times I've asked so I can't forsee any change now.
