The third of motor racing’s triple crown events takes place this upcoming weekend, with the 24 Hours of Le Mans!
As usual for UK fans, the race airs live on Eurosport for its entirety. Whilst the linear television channel will take commercials, the full race will air uninterrupted via Eurosport Player, with fans able to access up to three on-board angles.
Nine-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen will feature throughout Eurosport’s coverage, providing analysis during the race from their augmented reality (AR) studio alongside Neil Cole.
Although the broadcaster has not officially confirmed the other personalities involved in their line-up, Motorsport Broadcasting understands that Terry Rymer, Mark Cole, and Carlton Kirby will lead the commentary team.
Thirteen hours of Eurosport’s offering will also air on Quest, the free-to-air broadcaster covering the start and finish, as well as proceedings throughout the night.
For those of you wanting a different flavour to Le Mans, organisers of the World Endurance Championship are providing their own service via the WEC app. Martin Haven and Allan McNish lead the in-house team for Le Mans.
Elsewhere, MotoGP heads to Spain, while Italy plays host to round eight of the World Rally Championship.

As always, the schedule will be updated if details change.
I think it’s terrible that Channel 5 have relegated the WRC highlights to 5Spike this year!
Eurosport are putting much more on their player this year, especially when they fill both channels with non-stop tennis. I’m reluctant to use it, as I was conned into signing up a couple of years ago when Eurosport had their spat with the satellite company and was threatening to leave. After a series of breakdowns that Eurosport couldn’t be arsed to acknowledge, it finally stopped working on my Firestick. It was as bad as the F1 player, but it was failing practically every day.
I’m really looking forward to this. As more of atmospheric and special than f1 at moment
