Yes been watching the last couple of hours plus quite a bit yesterday.

Seeing the speed the audi's take through the final chicane is mighty impressive. Shame they have no real competition

Il try and find out. Brains a little mushy and slow at the moment! Would have been good to see the toyotas go a bit further to provide a challenge. Have not done badly seeing as they were only going to bring one car and were slightly "forced" into uping their for this year.

its on eurosport sky channel 410 and 411. look up lemans tv live for live timings and in board cameras from the audis. Those hybrids make a funny noise under braking as they recoup the energy.

Been watching it on and off. Shocking way for the DeltaWing to be taken out of the race by one of the Toyota Hybrids...then Antony Davidson going flying and breaking his back in a 200 mph smash into the barriers after a Ferrari turned into it on the Mulsanne straight while overtaking it. Out for 3 months so won't see him on Sky F1 for a bit.
