Trussers is a member here too, but doesn't pop in very often (as is Hindy - who visits even less). We were lucky enough to meet up with him at Le Mans for a chat on Friday afternoon before the race.

My claim to fame against Hindy is that I played a game of giant Jenga against him at the RLM Collective meetup at Bathurst last year.

I lost, of course.

Just dipping in here to simply say thanks to all at RLM. Great coverage and I thought a good mix of content. The ads were also far less intrusive than in previous years IMO, but obviously more effective - I have requested a Dura Garages brochure...

Did you not hear? There aren't ads! They haven't had those for years!

I ordered the catalogue too. Moving house soon and will need to do up the new place...

I am a bit worried for Turner, he seemed quite down about it in the, er, advert.

Used to feel like it! I came very close to buying a house on Lake Norman some years ago but never did. I live in North Hertfordshire, England, should probably update that profile.

As a matter of interest, for those who were at Le Mans and listening to RLM, did the reception change during the week? I have a decent set of radio headphones that I've used for about 6 years now - never had any problem (apart from a small glitch last year). This year, sitting in T17 on Wednesday for free practice, RLM was constantly cutting out, so much so that it was impossible to listen to. At Mulsanne for that evenings qualifying session, I could get no reception at all. Although Mulsanne is notorious for poor reception due to the pylons there, I've always managed to get something I could listen to. My friend Tony suffered the same problems. From Thursday onwards however, the reception improved and was perfect throughout the race (including spells at Arnage and again at Mulsanne). Tony could get nothing at all.... Did anyone else at the circuit experience this?

In the past years, I have only had problems sitting on grandstand Leonard. Many, many times I had to adjust my analog signal to prevent the frence signal. It was/is very annoying. This year however it only occured a few times, again only sitting on my grandstand. I did not however listen to the radio on wednesday, the first two sessions I only listen to the music the cars produce.

Didn't find any issues this year. Ironically the only time it drops out for me, albeit briefly because I'm on the move, is right by the RLM compound at the entrance to the pedestrian tunnel underneath the start/finish.

Dropped out for me about 10-15 mins after the race ended, but that might have been more to do with my radio batteries destroying themselves.

Enjoyed listening to RLM again this year, despite all the apps I prefer to listen. Shame RLM has not that many advertisers, I think I heared something about a race in Silverstone.................. probably a thousand times

I listened for the entire race and through the team did a great job as usual. The pit lane team is an invaluable resource, and I don't even like watch endurance races anymore when Trusswell isn't there keeping everything straight!

I enjoyed it and listened virtually throughout qualifying and the race. I missed Sam's contributions though and I assume that Jim Roller is unlikely to return now. Some of the prerecorded Mobil 1 endorsements were excrutiatingly long, but I guess we can all understand why this is necessary....

There's not really a polite way to put this (but I will say I do love RLM), but too often it turns into a soapbox and it's all about "This is my opinion. I am important". It reads really harshly, and I do absolutely love them, but maybe sometimes it just needs brought back a little.

Same with Martin Haven. Love Martin, love his passion and I'm always amazed how many sports he can commentate on (how does he know all this stuff?), but he does have a tendency of getting into soapbox arguments...sometimes with people who know more than him.

I'd much rather have them than not. I don't care about the ads too. It was quite amusing, but they have to fund the company. Anyone want to go to Silverstone?

The fact is that we know who sprays most of the 'soap' on RLM. Prejudices have become more evident over the last few years and while I'm happy for anyone to express their opinion, I don't want it rammed down my throat constantly. We all know that there were very clear and obviousl broadcasting influences throughout the Audi heydays, but it's no good saying 'I respect your opinion' when you clearly don't…..
