If you subscribe to the channel, you'll get notifications 30 mins before it goes live. And there are plenty of in car streams.

I also use the free version of the GPSauge app, and have had it for 7-8 years; a map of the track with live tracking, and any yellow flags, etc

For live timing, in the past I have found none better than: https://www.timing71.org/ Previously, as well as providing really clear timing info, it has been invaluable for providing an English version of the circuit message feed.

Used to be available for Le Mans until it ran into licensing issues with the ACO, so hoping nothing has changed with the N24 and it is still as good as ever.

Mental first few hours, so many on the grass stops, ferrari looks awful in race trim, Harper made a huge boob, its just never ending and the passing of slower cars never cease to amaze me, Estre started last in group leads after an hour lol, God mode

Estre being Estre.....I watched his charge from last year on You Tube the other day......something else. Manthey came from virtual last on the first lap in 2008 to win; they know how to win this race from all kinds of positions.

They won’t be winning it this year.

The modern diffs, TC and other electronics are amazing, so you don't even appear to lose speed with one side of the car on the grass let alone have the risk of spinning off like in the past.

Indeed this to me is why Laurens did not keep factory Porsche status for long, hew as Le Mans man factory a few years back and does not feature now replaced by older men, this is why i think, too hasty, it's a 24 hour race and you are out due to a stupid move trying to impress your brother

As a diehard Porsche fan, with the marque out due to various reasons for various teams, what a race! Superb and right down to the line. 8 second gap between lead pair at about 20hrs.

I’d have loved to see Manthey up there. Estre’s charge from 36th to mid 20’s on lap 1 was classic.

As for VAG engines, yes the even the winning Audi was being topped up with oil.

I would guess all cars need an oil top up, they were also doing a lot of air filter changes as they were going, what staggers me is that they only do one disc and pad change. Looks like a few engine blow ups, the Schubert BMW looked like head gasket maybe with about half hour to go,, very unfair, BMW will be gutted, they had the fastest car but a lot of mistakes and failures let them down, 99 was a disgrace on the black 911, that was a dumb move, and I dont really know about vd LInde, looked like disc failure and the junior car, again simple mistake? Weird place though

I was disappointed about the Manthey going out; after a great charge from Estre, and Makowiecki. To be fair, Laurens has held his hand up and admitted his error; the thing is he missed a yellow in the 2019 race whilst leading - and got a 3 min Stop/Go.

And then we had the leading car under investigation, for a pitlane violation; starting the car while re-fuelling, which they quickly rectified. However, they got a 32 sec penalty and a Euro 5,000 fine. Where did 32 secs come from - it seems a bit random. 30 secs I can understand, but 32....

It was a bit odd, you could see the look on the teams faces as the penalty was announced, plus starting the engine while fuelling is a real no no and the penalty should have been harsher, but like America I don't think the organisers wan t to see a race decided in a stewards office an hour later. The presumption was a 30 second penalty, so no idea about 32.

Regarding Laurens, he was in the Le Mans factory team only very briefly, so I can only presume he has been sort of dropped into the GT3 squads as a factory man, but he has made a lot of serious mistakes, also messed up at Le Mans I recall. But Estre made a ridiculous move at the start of Spa, so maybe they can tolerate some stupid driving, that was also on his team mate

in 2019 Grello's penalty was a 5 minutes, stop and hold ended up being 30 seconds or something longer than their lead at the time

The punishment seemed to be designed to stop them winning

LV has made some major errors in the last couple of years, including Daytona and N24 this year

I'd forgotten the exact time, but had heard about a 3 minute penalty this year mentioned for a yellow flag infringement. They ended up finishing 2nd, only to be disqualified a week or so later for a discrepancy with the car.
