TV schedule is on post 42 of this thread. No scheduled coverage between 8pm and 11pm eastern. That said, they just went to coverage early on fox sports 1 due to rain in the nascar truck event. For those of you new to sports car racing, this race is on rain or shine, so tune in tox fox sports 1 now!

watching this on the computer not as fun
Hay TV coverage about to resume 12 midnite my time 9am france.
Good race so far with Porsche having the measure of Audi. Corvette went for rotor changes on long pace laps and missing getting it done falling back one pace car, but they are clawing back!
I just had quesadilas last hour, and going for chips and salsa and a beer in another hour!

Just saw the news that the #3 (63) won't be fixed for a while, and that theY will be using the larbre car for the next race or two in the us. Looks like the next race in the wec isn't until the end of August, so borrowing the car for a while should be ok. That car already retired from Le Mans.

Fox ********!
I can't believe they are going to MotoGP with the glib comment "We'll be back for the final 10 minutes or so later."
And, *** Cable: Figure out where to find Fox2.

Well the channel swapping of this race has poisoned me on Fox ever covering this right again. From now on I'll find a pirate stream somewhere and crank up Radio LeMans

woohoo! Impressive Vette win for only having one car. Another victory for an American car, American drivers, and American (Penske 
) shocks! 
As for TV coverage, it was well worth the $11 for the Le Mans commercial free stream.

Fox coverage worse this year than last.
Who do we complain to?
Oh, yeah.... it doesn't matter to them. Money means more than fans.
I miss the old Speed channel, which broadcast the entire 24+ hours.....
The only bright spot is the 64 win!

No acknowledgement for Corvette Racing, didn't show them crossing the finish line, had cameras in all the winners garages EXCEPT Corvette. Harder to win this race with 1 car then 3 of em.
Edit: Just had a brief interview with Milner. Not nearly what they deserved.

Congrats to the 64 team. Sure didn't expect that given only one car in the race. Awesome win. Fox Sports , about the worst coverage imaginable.
They did better with one car then 2 this year! Triple crown for Corvette racing!!

Far fewer hours of coverage from last year. And then when they do have it scheduled, it's pre-empted by a European Kickball qualifying match tied at 0-0 in Quadruple Overtime about to go to stupid penalty kicks. Do they really believe that in America, there are more people interested in a crappy soccer match than in one of the biggest races of the year?
Sure hope Fox Sports never gets the SuperBowl. They'd probably pre-empt the winning drive to show a rebroadcast story on the professional bowling career of Early Anthony.
If they'd get a AppleTV app up and running, that might help some of us. I love Fox News Channel, but I hate Fox Sports!!!!

Don't forget the comment "practically gave it to them.." , yeah - right! A great 'in your face' win with only one car! And the engine sounded so good, too!!

I was very disappointed they barely mentioned the corvette winning.
I did find out youtube was streaming the entire thing, but race was over by then. Had we known this, we could have just watched from youtube!!!!!
