Yet, to be Frank, the radio coverage provided by RLM is invaluable since it transcends vision.

Perhaps the ACO hasn't grasped that thorn yet.

It was exactly that way last year.

For Le Mans this year I think I commented on what I could actually see from the 'box' perhaps three times in the 24 Hours.

Similar story with the media rooms btw - by no means every track has a press room with a view of the track.

No they don't have anyone on site, I think they are different locations as well I think some are Hindy's house and some are somewhere in London from what was said yesterday, oh and Paul Truswell is at the Woking Data Centre....

Having someone 'manning the phones' getting quotes/feedback from teams and drivers could be something worth continuing in future in addition to having the reporters prowling the pitlane.

Got the impression that the pitlane guys (Bradders and Shea) are there, but could be that they have specific pitlane cameras.

So good to hear Trussers yesterday.

If they are there, they clearly aren't actually allowed in the pits as they are getting their info from phone calls and messages to and from teams. That would make sense as my lad in the crew of the #24 car is forbidden to go anywhere else other than his own pit, not even up on the pit wall.

There seemed to be a decent number of photographers in the pits when I was watching last night and this morning. Different rules for them, I assume as they seemed to be wandering quite freely into garages...

I think Shea is still in America as they were joking about time zones on Thursday.

I did hear somewhere that the total number of people inside the circuit was close to 9000, so assuming there will be quiet a few press in that number

I know at least one pro photographer who occasionally visits here who hasn't gone. He said that the limitations were very restrictive for the photographers, e.g. being limited to one part of the circuit, which is why I was a little surprised to see so many in the pits moving freely around....

I think GG mentioned that official WEC TV English and French crews are the only ones on location. Both RLM and Eurosport working remotely.

Anyone else have Eurosport bleed over onto RLM? In the Roll of Honour - not good.

It was me. The coverage on the app that I had open had started without me realising...

They aren't all in the same place.

John Hindhaugh and Nick Daman are together, Jonny Palmer and Bruce Jones are together but in a different studio, and Paul Truswell is in Woking.
