This might sound and be totally dumb, but here it goes: help me broadcast the Le Mans 24 Hours daily through a whole month and minute-by-minute through the race.
I am a semi-professional freelance (eventually motoring) journalist, seeking employment in the field once again. I am also a fan of the Le Mans 24 Hours.
To entertain you and to seek a living, I decided to go on an article-a-day marathon concerning the 24 Hours of Le Mans and a full, live Twitter update through the whole race.
Here's how you can help a man looking for professional attention and potentially a job:
Click on my name and browse through my earlier posts, see if I'm worthy enough
Leave a comment here and/or click the star if you like what you read, or even share it on social network sites
On demand (I'm not that optimistic, but who knows) I can leave my account number here (and in later posts) if you want to throw a few pennies for energy drinks to keep me going
If you work in the publishing industry, show my blog to one of your colleagues. If you know someone in the publishing industry, same thing
By any means, leave some feedback here on what you liked and what you didn't, what would you like to read about, etc. - point out especially which posts you liked the most and which you didn't
As a starter, I leave a small tidbit here on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Thank you for your attention, I am looking forward to your feedback.

Disclaimer: No, I'm not going to be at Le Mans. Nevertheless I'm going to tweet about it the whole way through. But do follow the "Daily Le Mans" meta for a build-up until the race.

As a Le Mans devotee, I like any idea that involves more coverage of this race. Especially for the coverage-starved here in the USA.
Question for you though: are you going to be reporting/tweeting live on location at the race track itself?

If I could afford it, I would. Sadly, I have to fall back on the Internet and potentially some people working/being there. Maybe one day.

Yeah, same here, but I was hoping you would be at the track. If I could be honest, it does take a little bit of wind out of the sail when the reporter isn't at the track. But keep us posted! I'm very interested in how this turns out.
I think it'll be fun to get some real-time reaction to news from the circuit. I don't have a lot of connections but I'll try to pass on the word of Le Mans among my friends as I do every year. I hate living in a country where they think Le Mans was the Pontiac they were conceived in. Also, as the date comes near, send your account over- I'll pitch in for the caffeine!

Thanks for the kind words! As I said: it's more about these daily posts.

Hey, I'll be at Le Mans this year, is there anything I can do to help? I'll be attending the PistonHeads Friday Service and the race. I'm heading down there (from the UK) on Thursday early morning and heading back Monday. If there's anything I can help with let me know.
