The greatest endurance race on the planet is back! The 24 Hours of Le Mans takes its usual June place on the motor sport calendar, marking round three of the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship.
As usual, Eurosport have extensive coverage of proceedings with all of the race covered live. The one thing missing is the second qualifying session on Thursday afternoon which clashes with Tennis from Queen’s. Also a notable absentee is the Le Mans Legends race, a fixture since 2001, this will no longer be taking place in the build-up to the main race. As usual, Eurosport’s line-up will feature the likes of Martin Haven, Jeremy Shaw and Liz Halliday. Tom Gaymor will be voicing the 24 Minutes magazine programmes.
Quest TV (also owned by Discovery) will be screening coverage again this year following high numbers last year. Quest are airing four hours of live coverage, compared with three and a half hours of live coverage last year. Eurosport and Quest will be sharing the personnel used with the added use of Louise Goodman and Andy Jaye. There will also be 90 second updates at the top of each hour (excluding overnight).

I’ll be at Le Mans again this year, so won’t see any of the live coverage. Will there be any highlights shows during the week after the race?
On Quest TV Monday 20:00 to 21:00 look out for our FaceBook and Youtube Streaming on QuestTV
24 minutes will be hosted by Neil Cole as per last year. On Tuesday after the race Eurosport usually show the WEC produced highlights.
There is a le mans 2016 program on eurosport 2 on Saturday morning at 9am which is probably going to be the live legends race
