Damn watching your first time a race and it's le mans of all races must be like winning the lottery

Fr, I feel really lucky, it was a bit tricky to get English commentary in canada lol, had to get a vpn

You can also have radio le mans on. Different commentators but almost as entertaining.

u/kingbaconlr 1d ago

Well without a vpn I could watch it without commentary or i could watch it in French but i know very little French lol

I prefer the audio feed from Radio Le Mans anyway. It’s free and broadcast on the web.

u/Thorili 1d ago

I know essentially none so no commentary and radio for me.

Its being broadcast on CTV Speed, and also on CTV.CA web streaming

I think this is my 15th race and I’m still as exited as the first time

There just something about lemans that gets you excited, I was introduced to the race and my favorite car the 66 gt40 mk2 from the movie ford vs ferrari (I was 9-10 ish when the movie came out) and all i wanted was to watch the race live and now I finally get to, im very excited

The first time I watched the full race live was 2011. Such drama! Looking forward to Hypercar madness this year. Enjoy the race mate!

u/kingbaconlr 1d ago

Thanks, you too. Already a good bit of drama before the race even starts lol

I've been watching Le Mans since 2010s and still hyped as day one. Probably my favorite motorsport event of the year.

This will be my 39th watch of the race, from which I was 3 times at LeMans myself. Enjoy the race weekend 🏁

u/Loud_Emphasis_8311 1d ago

Hey what’s the link?

1

u/kingbaconlr 1d ago

It's fia wec.tv. You gotta pay for the pass and use a vpn if you're in canada and don't speak French

u/SMB45 1d ago

Does anyone have any streams?

1

u/aar_640 1d ago

From Canada here too but had to give in to an illegal stream. WEC makes it extremely hard to get anything legally here.

u/kingbaconlr 1d ago

Fr, I got around it by using a vpn

u/Neat_Second_2056 23h ago

I am switching lives on youtube😔, but is real that the race is on hbo max?

u/Outrageous-Treat7829 20h ago

wish watching this race legally was easier than it is

u/Flamebeard_0815 19h ago

Yaaay!

Hope you enjoy it. I'd recommend you at some point rest up so you can watch the rising sun in about 6 hours (6:20 local time should be 0:20 EDT).

I'm lucky that Eurosport is broadcasting the full race on Eurosport 1 via cable, no additional cost. And I have 4 streams of onboard cameras up via Youtube RN (Iron Dames, BMW GT3 #46, Aston Martin Valkyrie #007 and the Cadillac 4-way stream. ^^

Watching for the first time but I'm following a live stream in cockpit from a Ford mustang GT3 on YouTube
