I must admit that RLM did an excelent job on the lead battele, but both they and eurosport totaly neglected the gte pro battle that was just as hard fought and interesting with 3 makes and 5 cars leading for long periods. they just did updates. witch is poor considering that they are always telling everyone how excelent the class is, they should give it way more air time, of course it cant be on the same lvl as LMP1 air time. but at least a 2-1 ratio would be nice. BTW eurosport was plain redicilus, I dont think I saw one gte battle on the tlv, actualy thay did show a few but just when there is a move to pass , they shift to peugeut onboard down the straight, I mean its great to hear those LMP1s but there are far more interesting thinkgs happening on the track than a lonely peugeut driving in a straight line.
-also they should have one comentator/reporter to be dedicated only to the gte class, there were many times that they didnt know what was goning on in the class. I must add that I only listen to RLM broadcast no matter who is doning the TV presentation. they are the best, and I hope they improve their GTE coverage in the future, I say this because with only folowing RLM and watching the race was not enough to know what was going on in gte pro/am |

Same for the Pro battle. They interviewed Fisi and he discussed the engine problems. The commentators then sounded surprised when the Corvette took a big chunk out the lead just minutes later. As for the TV directors, why do they insist on showing pictures of Ullrich and Quesnel seemingly every 5 seconds? It's almost as bad as ABC's Indycar coverage in the 80's when they insisted on showing video of the driver's wives every few seconds. |

Sadly we missed out post-race meal last night with Paul Truswell - I think he was just too cream-crackered to think of eating and talking even more sportscars!
But for my money, it was a great success as always - although there were one or two advert breaks inserted - it seemed arbitrarily, but I presume as to a particular timing plan - which came at moments when we really wanted to know what was going on on the track.... |

Great call from RLM again. Ya gotta love Hindy's late race blasts at Peugeot, with A. Davidson copping it last year, and giving it to them with both barrels again this year.

I have to say for my first visit to the race the RLM guys enhanced the experience tenfold. Superb coverage. Unmissable.

I will also add to the congratulations to the RLM team, as always, first class stuff keeping those of us who love this race soo much as informed as ever.
Re the TV, I think you will find that Eurosport do not have control over the pictures, they get their stream from whoever is contracted by the ACO. So blame them for the pictures not Eurosport. Trussers, Nick, Graham, John and Eve et ALL at Radioshow limited WELL DONE xx |

Sorry, Ayse. My main concern was being able to drive back to my digs afterwards... glad to hear so many of you enjoyed the coverage. It makes it all worthwhile!

Coverage, as always, was great - but if I had a gripe it would be the lack of 'commentary' on the battle in the last hour or so. Listening to the radio if you were not at the track you really would have had no clue at to how intense the battle was, they did not regularly give the gap between the cars. Surely at that stage in the circumstances a commentary on the track action would be better than a general discussion?

The real question is - when will Radio Le Mans do their own DVD again? When I was a toddler, I watched the RLM videos of '87, '89 and '90, not the usual Pingu. Please bring them back!

Not that it was bad before but i think this years RLM was excellent, the camp radio was on while we were in the camp and at least one earphone in while walking the track.

RLM was absolutely brilliant! Loved the banter from here at home this year, had the pictures from BE and commentary from Hindy and the gang on RLM, much the best way IMHO.
Thanks for such amazing coverage year on year! |

I dont mean to beat a dead horse, but I found their gte coverage lacking. They almost never talked about the gte cars for more then 2min, and only updated from time to time. 90% of the gte race was not covered at all, and many times they didnt even know what was going on, who had mre fuel, who was on witch stint.... I think if they sing praises to the GTE all the time, they should at least have a dedicated reporter to folow them and have his stories traight. The only way you could have had an idea of what was realy going on in gte, was if you were glooed to the timing and scoring screens, while reading the race facts, and reading twitter messages from the teams.
I get that LMP1 brings in the big bucks, but with that many top class manufactures in gte I thought that they would have made the effort to bring in more fans and thus ensure the longevity of the class. **PS I love RLM, and alwasy only listen to them. |

The RLM people mainly look at the TV screens and the TV director focussed more the LMP1 battle...

but I knew that was gonna happen on eurosport. But RLM is a radio show, why do they need to coment the tv pictures, It would have been much nicer if they had acess to all the cameras on track like a tv director, and chose witch ones to coment. But I guess there will never be any real or even semi real GTE coverage, excemt maybe in the ALMS, where there are no LMP left. //even without camera acess, with a dedicated reporter on the scene they would have acess to much more information witch they could pass along to us. If I can get the gist of it from live timeing and the race facts pages, I am sure a man on the scene would be much more capable. |

1 John and the team are in a little cubicle at the far end of the ACO building opp the pits, Eurosport are housed there also along with the television feeds. If they wanted to get "their own feeds" they would also need "their own cameras" and "their own camera men" etc. if you look on you tube you can see the McNish crash with several different commentaries....but mainly the same pictures, unless its from an I phone etc, its only the same as bernies F1 circus, also, I believe that cubicle is opposite a great big monitor at the end of the pit lane. Radio Le Mans costs money to put on and as you rightly say in your post ITS A RADIO, why on earth would they employ their own television production company? 2 When you say "A dedicated reporter on the scene"....can you tell me, which scene are you referring to?...the scene where the overtake began?.....the scene where it was half way through?...or the scene when the overtake was completed?.....lol.I think you will find that you ARE getting it from a "man on the scene" well actually, several men on the scene ..I believe RLM operated at least two people in the pit lane at any time, sometimes three (that is quite a long lane to cover) and they constantly talk to the teams. During the build up to the race they have several features and interviews with key players/drivers etc . During the race itself they NEVER cut to a magazine program or something like that and I take my hat off to them for talking through two and a half hours of SAFETY CAR (they do a far better job than F1....but then again...ITS A FAR BETTER RACE Trussers is usually buried in a catalogue of screens/figures etc which at any time can be used to tell you if a car is due in or not or indeed, knowing Paul, the weight effect of the additional fly in the cockpit would have on the 908! I dont think you do that bad but you have to be realistic, unfortunately the GTE class is NOT as headline grabbing as LMP1, iits a tuff life but its true and that television feed goes ALL AROUND THE WORLD...and...as is clearly demonstrated here ....you cant please all the people all the time. Consider yourself lucky....I remember the Le Mans Classic last year ...it was incredibly hot and the RLM team had ONE CAMERA...which, from what I could make out...was a CCTV road camera of some description...produced some of the funniest and most entertaining radio I have heard in years....So...as I say ...I take my hat off to them |

I have to say I disagree. Jonny Palmer seemed to me to 'major' on the GTE battle and I would have said there was at least as much focus as before. But then perhaps I didn't notice itt so much as the LMPs are 95% of my focus at Le Mans. |

I do take my hat off to them, they are by far the best race comentator team there is. I have nothing but respect for them. what I ment about a reporter on the scene is that there be one reporter that is dedicated to GTE only and folwes the gTE battle closely and report about it.
about the TV screens I meant if they could get the feeds from all the cameres around the track from the ACO, not setup their own. just get better acess to the ones that are there, since they dont need to be looking at the produced show, but at the original info. but I guess they would have done that a long time ago if it was posible. Let me again ephesise that I think the RLM are the Best in the world, but even the best can be better, it was just a sugestion so they might improve on next year. |

IIRC they did have a dedicated team member doing just that! I forget who it was now but he was solely concentrating on the GTE teams both Pro and Am. Obviously there will always be a heavy bias toward the premier LMP race but the GTE's were definitely not forgotten.
Still the N24 and Spa 24hrs are due soon for all GT fans to get their own fix without the prototypes getting all the limelight! Love em all! |
