Just had a quick look at the TV Guide for next weekend and Quest (channel 12 round here and part of the Discovery group that own Eurosport) have overnight coverage from Le Mans from 22:00 to 05:00 Sat into Sun and that appears to be it for free to air coverage. Some 'unauthorised' streams my pop-up on Youtube for a while if you're lucky.

Canadian GP was very entertaining thanks to mixed weather - no spoilers from me either - and I'm now onto the Indycar race from Road America. BTCC has been recorded for viewing over the next week (I have caught up with the results on Autosport).

I've got it in my head that you can live-stream Quest TV, I *think* on Freeview Play

Yep, it's one of the freeview channels (channel 12 in this part of reception land)

The reception for which is almost non-existent here. *grump*

It's not really a spoiler for the Canadiian GP, but if you get a chance have a look at the Alex Albon overtake.

Not sure if it was skill or good luck but great manoeuvre

Could the Le Mans 24 HR race be over sooner if they drove faster?

Will have to see if we get that as it doesn't ring any bells

Just watched the highlights, Changeable weather always makes for an interesting race some really good overtakes . The Haas,s on the first stint on full wets were flying until they weren't , Norris was unlucky with the safety car timing but that's racing he gained from it in Miami so it's equalled itself out

Albon didn't really have a choice other than punting the Alpine up the rear. Great bit of control though

Maybe weather should be made compulsory! Shame Mercedes couldn't do more on those fresh tyres - still not quite there...

Didn't someone (Bernie, possibly) suggest that using sprinklers to dampen the tracks a bit a few years ago? It definitely makes for a more dramatic race but it'd be a health and safety nightmare!

 

[Drago]

Aye, Bernie did.
