Well, normally a year is 12 months so multiples of 12 months? #amidoingthisright

[Peter Mallett]

I just saw on FB that Paul Trusswell has been made an associate member of the BRDC. Well deserved.

I find this quite boring and we should mix it up a bit

Or 13 would be better. 28 days a month with a bonus one or two.

Sorry, what were we talking about.

Very much so. great to hear.

I’ve only ever come across one person who would disagree! Which is a pretty good strike rate.

Has there been any news on when the preview shows/podcasts might be available?

According to their schedule (scroll to the bottom of the homepage), this Thursday Friday & Saturday. They're listed as Countdown to Le Mans 2024; I assume each episode covers one class.

Test Day itself is rather packed, with Pilot Challenge coverage and some IMSA features in between the Test Day sessions.

I presumme FM frequency is same as last year

[Aysedasi]

I believe so....

[GT6]

Hope they are broadcasting on Monday, always nice as you approach the destination when you start to pick up the signal

[Adam43]

91.2. Confirmed on the coverage so far this week.

[Adam43]

I’ve just read that at the circuit coverage went down. Anyone there experienced this?

Yes, nothing on FM from early in the second season

[Truckosaurus]

Were they actually at the circuit?

There wasn't much in the way of engine noises in the background, and at least one point there was a big bit of dead air until Truswell realised he was talking to himself and had to fill until his colleague (Jonny Palmer?) returned/came back online.

But otherwise, it was an excellent day of content to have playing in the background as I packed my stuff for next week, and did a few bits of work.

Even managed to issue myself a haircut during the luncheon break.

Trussers was broadcasting from the Isle of Wight, not sure about Jonny. It was all a bit strange with Jonny and Trussers clearly having no more resources for gathering information than we did on the FIA WEC site or app. At least it gave them an opportunity to warm up the vocal cords before we get into the serious stuff.

They were not at the circuit I dont think

.

They may not have been there, but bear in mind that they broadcast from the 'box' in the media paddock, so I'm not sure how much they actually get in terms of engine noises over there.

You cannot even see the track from the "box" they have in the TV compound. If they are in the studio, there isnt even a window towards the circuit... but, they do have air con ... when they were "up in the gods" at the old ACO tribune the noise was just amazing! lol

Indeed. I was lucky enough to be invited up there a couple of times a few years back.

Is something odd up with the RLM feed from the website? I get lots of radio on RS1/RS2 and RS3 but none seeem to be Le Mans related.

RS1 has it live now.

[AndreasDavour]

Thanks.

[Adam43]

Currently a test of a MX5 on 91.2 FM.

[Adam43]

I wonder what year John first went to Le Mans?
