Catalunya TV coverage

[termietermite]

I see it's not on Motors - any idea if we're going to be able to watch this weekend and if so, where?  I can't find any info on the LMS website.

Only the start plus an update an hour or two in on Eurosport I'm afraid.

All a bit of a c0ck up by the LMS promotors I think!

Eurosport have the TV rights.

Thanks all.  Another series gone to that cr*p channel.

Yes Eurosport is a crap channel but here in Holland it's even crappier we get 45 mins at the start and 30 min about an hour later and that's all 

[termietermite]

Funny because I thought the French and the Dutch got the same Eurosport broadcasts.  Although the link Christopher's posted says 45 mins there do in fact seem to be 3 separate bits of coverage here in frogland.

[Bas]

I thought so too Termie but apparently you guys get to see the LMS finish about 1 hour and afterwards F1 which we don't get here in Flatland on eurosport.

Deb - My link gives the three broadcasts on the day here in France:
11:15  - 45 mins
12:45 - 30 mins
17:00 - 60 mins
Pretty much crap coverage, but at least it's live.

Eurosport is linked with TF1 here in France, so they'll also be busy re-showing F1 on Sunday.

Next year I'll get myself sorted for a Beauvais-Girona flight nice and early in the year and catch the whole race live, plus some Spanish food and wine.
Clean forgot this year until too late.

I am! Flying tomorrow morning!

I am! Flying tomorrow morning! 

Lucky b*st*rd.  Me I'm not flying anywhere at present and have been knocked over by some mystery virus this week to boot.  A bit of - even crap - LMS coverage should cheer me up.  St Pete's too of course.

In the end we had better coverage than promised, but that's Eurosport for you. Great race throughout and a great result for Aston Martin and Dave Richards, if slightly lucky.
Very few spectators, despite entry costing just €15.
Must plan better for next year.

[termietermite]

It will be good if LM produces such a mix of marques through every class as this did, along with such close racing.  Can't wait to see some of these cars up close at the end of the month.

Pretty piss poor coverage on Eurosport 
Highlights are on Eurosport 2 on tues evening at 17;30 UK time.

Good job we have Hindy and co at RLM. I listened in live on my I-Phone whilst out cycling on the moors- technology eh!

The circuit website even had a voucher you print off and send to everyone so they could get in for free!

I was dissapointed with the numbers of spectators I suspect less then 15,000. Monza last year was packed.
The circuit could do a lot more to help, just like Silverstone it is really only there for the F1. The grandstands were all there but only a few were open.

The race certainly made up for it (expect hours 3-4) close racing and a great result!

On the Eurosport highlights package they mention 25,000 spectators
