Well, that was quite a dissapointing first 75 minutes >:( Eurosport started over ten minutes late and stopped nearly ten minutes too early, had about 7 advertisement breaks of at least five minutes each and two full course yellows.

It gave me the feeling I have seen about ten minutes of racing in an hour :-\

There's a two hour long update coming at 9 UK time, also on Eurosport 2 of course.
Let's see if that's any better...

Yep. I'm used to getting a drink every commercial break during MotorsTV broadcasts (ALMS or something). So if I do that tonight with Eurosport, the whole crate of 24 will be gone in two hours :o

Any live streaming?

There was live streaming off the grand am site but the main ga site was down so you needed a direct link. I'm lounging in bed using the IPAQ so can't access it but there was a thread on ten-tenths.co.uk, the link was given around 7 or 8 pm last night.
