RLM may have changed over the years, but the race would not be as good without it IMHO.

Oh I agree, they are an intrinsic part of the event now.

We swapped between RLM and Eurosport commentary many times during the weekend - neither was better than the other, both had large chunks I thought irrelevant or just boring, but ...... can't take satellite broadcast stuff with you on walkabout (even if you preferred it to RLM) and despite the corporate bull and advertising, I'd rather be at LM with RLM than without them - do we seriously think we could do a better job camped in BN with a telly and an illegal transmitter? I think not.

No Radio Le Mans at the Classic this year. And boy did we miss them. I was told it was a late pull out from a sponsor. The event was much poorer for their absence. We had absolutely no idea who was leading, who had gone off, why there were delays between races etc. When out on the campsite you became so disconnected from what was happening out on track.

If you were there I guess you really began to appreciate just how essential they have become. We should forget our little gripes and get behind them. LM without RLM isn't something I want to experience again.

Si

I would totally agree with Simon on this.
Really missed RLM at the Classic this year.
Can someone name and shame the sponsor that pulled out?

[Lorry]

Whilst we criticise RLM :

1  They try their best
2  We'd be lost without them
3  The ACO don't help (well no change there then)

Having been before RLM, we just didn't have a clue what was happening after 20 minutes.  Not playing cricket, the French don't do scoreboards

RLM were sorely missed at the Classic this year, we had to (sometimes) leave the camp to watch the racing... to nearly know what was going on...

To be honest I think RLM only adds to the LM experience and if they have to pay to be there then that is disgusting for the value that they actually add.  I would ask though if they actually have to pay to be there or if they only need the sponsorship to cover their costs and wages?

The fact that you can sit around your camp and still know what is going on for the 24 hours is excellent, after going for so many years I think that the majority of us do not need to be at he track as much as a newbie and then you have to consider the time for visits to and from friends and generally walking around the place, along with visits to the shops when you can very easily keep up with procedures.

RLM is an integral part of LM and should continue/must continue.
