What frequency is RLM on? Im sure it's staring me in the face on the website but can only see for streaming online

GT6 · 12 Jun 2013, 17:40 (Ref:3261661)

Normally it is 91.2

CTD · 12 Jun 2013, 17:41 (Ref:3261663)

91.2FM

I only came to Le Mans for the first time in 2011, after being obsessed with The Film since I was a kid. Somehow I never made the effort to get involved with sportscar racing and preferred F1 (

). Then I went and it was like some kind of sleeping passion for LM/sportscar racing awoke in me - and a lot of that can be attributed to Radio Le Mans. Since then I've kind of followed them around, and so been introduced to stuff like Daytona, Bathurst and the N24 together with the ILMC-WEC and ELMS. So yeah, got a lot to be thankful to them for.

frostie · 12 Jun 2013, 18:27 (Ref:3261699)

Thanks guys!

GT6 · 12 Jun 2013, 19:17 (Ref:3261734)

Hope you are all listening to MWM on radio Le Mans

Nick Daman has (nearly) just bet a Rolex with Hindy that the pole time will be under 3:20 - Hindy doesn't agree......

Not only under 3:20, he sounded like he believed a new record could be set!

vincegail · 12 Jun 2013, 20:00 (Ref:3261753)

Well, if that's true, the ACO won't be too pleased...
But it doesn't really matter, as it's the last year of these set of rules

**Aysedasi** · 12 Jun 2013, 20:05 (Ref:3261754)

It does make for a mouthwatering thought of what the last minutes of qually on Thursday could be like if the Audis are let off the leash.......

Speaking of RLM, I hope everyone has read this interview with Eve a.k.a. the resident Responsible Adult of Radio Le Mans: http://www.dailysportscar.com/?p=7691

GT6 · 12 Jun 2013, 20:10 (Ref:3261759)

I think all the cars will be going flat out on the second part of thursday qualy, no one will hold back

Simmi · 12 Jun 2013, 20:29 (Ref:3261766)

Nick needs to look at the weather forecast before he starts betting.

I hope so, but pole is often set on Wednesday night and Thursday is more for race set up

As have I, but to say it was RLM that made the race special is at best naive and really misses the point - what about the previous 64 years of history?

valedave · 12 Jun 2013, 21:41 (Ref:3261797)

I didnt say they did

I think this keeps a sense of perspective to things. It's absolutely fantastic to have RLM coverage at the track, and podcasted race coverage is tremendous for listening to in the car during the off season, but equally there are times when there's just as much pleasure to listening to the French commentary, which somehow has a certain level of extra energy to it, or even resorting to just looking at cars circulating and enjoying the ambience of the place.

I agree, but you really need three ears for that! One for RLM on your headphones, one for the sometimes very excitable French commentary and one for the ambient noise.

Like some others here, I've been going long enough to remember pre-RLM days, when you had to wait for the hourly english update on the circuit's P/A system - at least RLM means you're always up-to-date and, since reception's just about possible at our relatively remote campsite, it also means that I can get instantly up to date when I wake on Sunday morning*. The great pleasure of Radio Le Mans is that it conveys the feeling that it's a bunch of amateurs (in the literal sense of the word - they love what they're doing) who nevertheless work in a very professional way.

Incidentally, I also remember ?1985, when there were tv screens dotted around the place which showed the race positions.

* My apologies to those for whom it's unthinkable actually to want to sleep while at LM, let alone leave the circuit!

GT6 · 13 Jun 2013, 08:17 (Ref:3261961)

Those screens only lasted a year I think' they were doted all over the place but some where beginning to fail by the end of the race as I remember

Timing screens are available in the bars of the ACO grandstands (17 and 18) and in the ACO members' area just after the Dunlop bridge on the inside of the circuit

For those coming from overseas and using an iPod with an FM radio, go into "settings" and make sure it's set to receive in Europe. In North America, at least, radio frequencies go up the dial by 0.2 at a time (eg. 91.1, 91.3, 91.5), but in Europe they go up by 0.1 due to more radio stations. This means that my iPod sometimes gets an opera program overlaying Radio Le Mans at some parts of poste 61 but usually it's wonderful.

Maybe this should be in the FAQs!

The first preview podcast - GTE - is up now on http://www.radiolemans.com/

Will download and listen to that once we get onto French soil I reckon.

Did anyone actually say that Mal? It certainly wasn't what I was saying......
