I wonder how many of these times will be late, end early, not broadcasted at all, and/or completely filled up with useless Eurosport advertisements :-\

(don't care really, will see the remaining three LMS races plus LM24 myself)

Hmmm. You're not wrong Paddy. Many a time have I been fast-forwarding through live tennis/snooker/darts/tiddleywinks (delete as appropriate) only to find that the overun meant Sky Plus completely missed the WRC or Dakar i'd recorded  >:(.

As they've got the full 24hrs spread across both channels they should be able to juggle schedules such that those still in the UK don't miss anything, but i wouldn't bet my granny on it....

If they get it right I'll be very pleased but I expect to have lots of segments of beach volleyball instead of cars, plus the constant switching between channels with the necessary over run (it is Eurosport after all) will take way more space and will give really disjointed coverage. 

I settled down to watch Porsche Cup live on Eurosport a couple of weekends ago - instead I got a WRC programme and an episode of The Factory (about Williams F1 both quite interesting but not Porsche Cup  ::)

Depends on who's playing whether I would be concerned watching beach volleyball instead of racecars. ;D

This film should be played at high volume, so don't come complaining about it! And who the hell is Steve?
