[LM24 Race] Seeking advice from Finns in Helsinki

[Finski]

Hi, I will be in Helsinki for a few days at the same time as Le Mans and really would like to at least see the first couple of hours. Does anyone know of any pubs or anything that show the race or some of it?

Thanks for any advice!

Few bars in varying degrees have access to Finnish Eurosport 1 (some even to ES2) but I doubt anyone in charge is specifically ahead planning to show something as niche as LM even in the capital, not unless someone can correct me. You can find some of those more sports oriented bars like Casino Helsinki Sports Bar or whatever via simple google search of course - I assume you speak some finnish? - but if you really cannot miss it I'd just make sure you have computer/phone/tablet hanging around somewhere and options to follow it via web. Plenty of wifi spots everywhere.

I've never heard any sports bar showing specifically Le Mans. As we know, the race itself barely gets any media attention, unless there's a fatal accident or some kind of 'ex-F1'-nonsense connection.

Not entirely true as on Sunday's Urheiluruutu there's usually ~20 second clip in which they cover Audi crossing the finish line and announcement on which position Vilander and possible other Finns have finished

Eurosport (1) is available as TV channel in few hotels as well btw. Not that I know where you're staying
