LM24 THE Radio Le Mans (+ Live Timing) Thread

neiltbag · 24 May 2005, 23:17 (Ref:1309480)

I went to LM last year for the 3rd time and you folks were very helpful - thought it was time to stop back in, and see what's been going on.

After searching AND reading through the ENTIRE 75-page thread I couldn't find any mention of Radio Le Mans. Anyone have confirmation that they'll be operating again this year? I know there was a little uncertainty last year...

19dodge · 24 May 2005, 23:48 (Ref:1309487)

good question.. i thought they said it will be back, but i cant confirm that. i sure hope they are back this year!

Fab · 25 May 2005, 03:27 (Ref:1309528)

They'll be there. As Ayse has a dinner with Paul Truswel prior to the race last years, he might confirmed...

And Hindy lurks some times too... as he commented the Mid-Ohio race, he seemed to mention Ten-Tenths - thanks for that Hindy

, I missed it, due to a boring french commentary

-, so he could confirmed too...

Radio Le Mans is an institution!!

Can't imagine the race without it......

Indeed, the ads (to get sponsorship) were there at Autosport magazine and website last month already

rdjones · 25 May 2005, 07:23 (Ref:1309583)

I am 99.9% certain that RLM will be on air, this year there have been adverts in Motorsport News and Autosport over the last few weeks. I also heard Hindy mention on the Autosport Radio Show on Globlecast907 the other week that would be live from Le Mans on Wednesday 15th June.

TheNewBob · 25 May 2005, 09:58 (Ref:1309670)

It's been advertised in Autosport for ages now!

egor · 25 May 2005, 10:24 (Ref:1309688)

In past years when they have been finding it hard to raise the cash for the best radio station in the world (if only for a week), they have made it known that their may be a chance of no Radio Le Mans.
This year all I've seen as well is adverts for the station it self, nothing begging for money to keep the tradition going.
So I think Radio Le Mans will be a big part of the best race in the world again this year.

neiltbag · 25 May 2005, 16:50 (Ref:1310041)

That's terrific news. Out here in California, we tend to miss things like adverts in Motorsport News!

JAG · 25 May 2005, 16:57 (Ref:1310046)

Will be good if its on Globecast 907 on SKY.

No need to sit huddled around the computer all day.

TheNewBob · 25 May 2005, 17:15 (Ref:1310057)

I wish they'd invent WAP Radio for the thing!

Dani Filth · 25 May 2005, 17:39 (Ref:1310070)

i hope it will be streamed on the internet ...

pederb · 26 May 2005, 00:59 (Ref:1310326)

I guess they broadcast it here this year again.

egor · 26 May 2005, 07:25 (Ref:1310436)

They did say last year, that for this and hopefully future years they have an agreement with sky to broadcast Radio Le Mans on one of their digital radio channels.

**Bentley03** · 27 May 2005, 09:12 (Ref:1311398)

I see on the official ACO website that there is a link (disabled at the moment) to 'Radio 24H'. I assume when it goes live this will link to Radio Le Mans? If so, the ACO certainly expect the station to be on air.

egor · 27 May 2005, 09:39 (Ref:1311421)

Another full page advert this week in Motorsport News for the station.

Sadly not dining with Paul this year as we are arriving so late.......

But I believe RLM will be there. There are threast to its existence every year but they get there.

Not so sure about that one - I think that's a link to the French version, isn't it?

**Aysedasi** · 28 May 2005, 10:59 (Ref:1312357)

Even if they're not there (and they will be, of course), I will be proudly wearing my RLM t-shirt sometime during the weekend. Now, can I use it to blag my way in somewhere.......?

**Aysedasi** · 28 May 2005, 11:02 (Ref:1312362)

On the subject of RLM t-shirts, I have one from the 2003 race (unworn), signed by
Gunnar Jeannette
Oliver Gavin
Kelly Collins
Thomas Enge
Darren Turner
Anthony Davidson
Terry Borcheller
Robin Liddell
Butch Leitzinger
Shane Lewis
Johnny Mowlem

Nice eh?

bf1 · 29 May 2005, 17:06 (Ref:1313786)

I was talking to Gary Champion the other day and he said that it will be carried on GlobeCast 907
