It’s in France, obviously. What I really mean is: why isn’t the Le Mans 24 Hours on Freeview properly? The best we can hope for, from my searching, is a fleeting glimpse of it on Mobil 1 The Grid or something, at an unpalatable time of day on Channel 4. It was on ITV4 last year, sort of, when the end of the race was inserted into the BTCC broadcast. It was a bit of a waste of time though. What I’d like to see is something more like ITV4′s excellent Isle of Man TT coverage. They’re similar events, in a way – massively prestigious, heaps of history, and hugely enthusiastic fans. All of that comes across in the TT coverage, and in an accessible way. It’s an achievement befitting the event, and Le Mans deserves similar. By my reckoning it could be done in three hour-long programs: preview, qualifying, and the race. Scheduled at 9pm the Thursday and Friday before, and the Monday after the event, surely it would have an appeal similar in magnitude to that of the nightly TT shows. But anyway, it doesn’t look like that’s happening. Shame. Post a comment
