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!

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 |

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.

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! 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.

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.  |

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!
