I too thought the coverage was excellent this year although I have never had cause to complain in the past. LM would not be the same without it. Well done to all. Signal strength was much better, you could pick it up as far as Spay.
The final caller doing the Henri impression was great and lifted the spirits of 6 very wet lads with 600 miles to drive to get home!

At the DfH camp it was not always on because of the rain (sound installation protection) but when it was on it was great! I laughed my pants off when some bloke called in to have the RLM team say hello to his wife at the circuit and the presentator really performed his most unearthy and dark HELLOOOWRH  |

RLM has always been a strong part of the LM experience for me and this year I thought it was especially good, the updates were reliable and the banter was amusing - well done, look forward to again next year.

Although I left before the end I sat and listened to RLM up to the end somewhere on the outskirts of Le Mans.
Now, that proves something...

They all did a top job this year, it wouldn't be the same without them and we even had the 24 hrs at the Ring as a warm up this year!

Well done to RLM from me too.
What I would like to know is who the RLM source that forecast on sunday that the rain would come at 1pm. Whoever it was I would listen to their advice again. It was accurate to the minute!!!!
Dave
I'll second that Dave, I wonder if they can forcast the Lotto numbers for next Saturday? |

As one of last year's critics of the RLM coverage, may I offer my congratulations to Hindy and the rest of the crew for an excellent return to form.
Thankyou for listening.

I particularly liked the 'slip of the tongue' references to the Bentley when talking about Puegeot.
Great job again!

I listened to more RLM this year than I have for a long time. Congratulations and thanks. Great coverage, a vast improvement. Just goes to show that constructive critisism rather than general slagging off pays dividends. BTW Hindy, as your weather forcast was so accurate on Sunday can you arrange for some sun in Wycombe this weekend?  |

Smokie, for future reference, we always stop at a cafe/bar at (I think) St Jean D'Asse, about 12 clicks up the N138 from the Buffalo Grill roundabout. Watch the end on TV with a cold pression in hand. While the safety car was out, they showed highlights ie both Audis crashing out, fire in the pits etc. Del |

The guy who predicted the weather was their tech bloke Carl Landsbert. Obviously he's the person to have in charge of those things!

He was accurate to the minute, pitty the Met' Office doesn't employ him, the weather forecast might become enjoyable. To help them out last year, I bought one of their radios. It's superb. Jerry |

I can only echo all of the above comments. We listened most of the week/weekend and found the hourly updates (almost) on time and very useful especially during the heavier deluges when sheltering out of sight of the track/screens. We all particually enjoyed some of the more bizarre phone in's after the race while stuck in the traffic to get out, made being queue-bound a little more bearable. Well done all, please keep it up for next year  |

The combination of RLM an the big TV screens was great. Much better than on my last visit in 2005 when I simply endured the public PA system. My only disappointment was not being able to pick up th RML signal on the TGV back to Paris on Sunday when I had to leave before the end of the race (although at least I missed the rain).
