LeMans

Once more, Fox has covered themselves with something which looks, and smells bad.

I'm outraged right now! What bull crap! Too bad my DVR wasnt smart enough to switch over to FS2!!!!!at 4am my time!!!! Because of GOLF!!!!!! Then we miss one of the most dramatic finishes in Le man's history! !!!
I was really looking forward to watching the ending on the DVR this morning but, NOOOOOOO! all I see is GOLF!
nothing against golf but why do that to us!?!?!
Just like when they leave lemans to go to nascar practice!! Who gives a (expletive deleted) about nascar practice!!!!!

I'm glad I totally spaced out and forgot to set the dvr. I would be just as mad as Calvin.

[Calvin]

I wished I got madder than what I did this morning.....I'm still upset!

I did the app, both last year and this year. This year, things worked much better, you know, like them starting the stream before the race started. Little stuff like that. Once paid, you can use computer or device to watch the live action. This years app is also supposed to have a replay feature for a couple weeks. I haven't looked at that yet.

I could have watched the streaming on the computer, but I would much rather record it, and get some sleep.

I actually love both golf and racing. I mean it was the US Open after all. Anyway, not exactly the networks fault. The US Open had terrible weather early on that delayed everyone's golf round to the point that some golfers had to play twice in one day to catch up to golfers that happen to get an earlier tee time. They were playing catch up the entire four day period. If you don't like golf you got hosed in your mind. I get it.

I do too, Stu, but they could have condensed the golf enough to show the last hour of the race, or at least the last few laps.

Why not just show the golf on Fox Sports 2? If you have one you have the other. The whole flipping back and forth seems ridiculous.

I keep looking but can't find........what broke on the Toyota?

[clm1545]

I think it was something quite important.
All I heard was the driver saying that he lost all power.

Here's the heartbreaking final few minutes. It's on Facebook but it should be public for those of you without an account: www.facebook.com/MotorFanatics27/videos/1571888569781830/

Apparently in the Baku post race interviews, Vettel asked a reporter who won LeMans. When the reporter told him what happened he had a stunned look on his face and a one F-word reply.

OK, 2 things.
1 - The finish of Le Mans was always scheduled for FS2. It was not a last second decision.
2 - NASCAR practice has higher ratings than any sports car race.

I wish sports car racing was more popular in the US, so that the races would get better coverage, but its not, so they don't.
