Here’s something I’ve heard people do. And it works...I’ve heard. I’ve also heard it’s the best way to watch it without being there.

Reddit, VLC, Eurosport, Radio Le Mans, Le Mans official time board.

I picked up the official WEC streaming offer for ten bucks. Watched qualifying yesterday, works perfectly!

If I find I have time to watch it, I’ll probably pay for the feed. Then switch between in-car feeds and such. If I work on something all day, drink some beer and fall asleep early, I’ll just look for a free feed in the morning to catch up.

I have a little older mini-itx Windows 7 PC on a shelf above my TV for weekends like this.

Hope Toyota gets their year this year. I always root for the teams that have no victories.

I prefer to just read liveblogs and twitter feeds of the event, I find it more engaging. /s

Not that I’m aware of. Although $5 is a small fee for the quality coverage that Eurosport provides of Le Mans. I usually just use the Reddit/VLC method and then use Radio Le Mans for audio.

I ponied up 10 EUR for the official stream. I think it’s well worth it.

Web stream and our DVR is set for TV coverage.

The WEC app on my iPad run via HDMI into my tv. $9.99. No fuss, no fucked up Fox coverage, no nothing. 24 hours of racing and sleep deprivation.

As personal challenge, I’ll stay awake for the whole thing, just because. I’ll be posted up in the love seat in our bedroom, only leaving to get snacks and and caffeine from the kitchen. Though, at some point after the the first few rounds of pit stops, I’ll probably put F1 qualifying on the tv, while still streaming Le Mans on the iPad. What a glorious world we live in.

That reminds me, I need to hit up the grocery store tonight for supplies.

Download Ace Stream (VLC based program that allows you to use video torrents) then find the Eurosport id code somewhere (eg. reddit) and enjoy.

There’s various streaming addresses you can let VLC connect to that will stream the Eurosport feed. They’re usually abundantly available on Reddit in the morning of. There’s several threads explaining how to do it from last year’s Le Mans threads on Reddit.
