LIVE STREAM LINKS



It seems each individual session will have its own youtube link for a live stream.

Here are links to streams later on. You can click on them in advance and click the "notify me" button which will get you an email when it goes live.

They are all from the Peter Auto youtube channel 'streams' page. (Plenty of older major historic meetings and lots of Touring Car stuff there also as well as the current weekend.)
https://www.youtube.com/@peterautoracing/streams

I have just pulled these links from that page to make it easy. All are English comms.

Temporary red flag thanks to a downpour on the formation lap for the Endurance Legends.

Many were on slicks and it all got a bit chaotic behind the SC so a red was shown for all to pit and change to full wets.

What a grid though, 72 cars I believe and even a Panoz in there., Ferrari 333SP, Bentley Speed 8 Audis, Dome, Pescas etc etc

Entry List: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lo64a35o63j85 ... -entry.pdf


They are lining up ready to have another go.... SC will lead them out .

Great to see Henri Pescarolo in person in pitlane.... watching one of his cars leading the Endurance Legends race.

He was too unwell to attend the main Le Mans eventt a couple of weeks ago, having been hospitalised, so especially good to see him on his feet again enjoying pit lane.

Magnificent sight of a Traditional Le Mans run across the track start and dozens of pre war Bentleys racing on now.... well you have missed the start but if you wind the stream back you will see it. Make that 72 of them!

Its only slow running in the rain with yellows marshals, recovery traffic, and is from 2012 , but this Matra 670 V12 onboard with Pescarolo sounds glorious even in demo mode not running at 100%

**needs volume high**
