I think the key word to all you suggest for the test days broadcasts is "budget".

E. Becclestone · 5 Jun 2005, 20:36 (Ref:1320807)

Should be able to tell you schedules soon.......

TheNewBob · 5 Jun 2005, 20:59 (Ref:1320826)

OK, suggestion and donation boxes then lol

E. Becclestone · 6 Jun 2005, 12:00 (Ref:1321269)

Here's the schedule & people info so far.....as we get a little nearer and more updates happen, I'll spread the word.
Part of Press Release (6/6/05):

"Le Mans

GlobeCast Radio is providing all the production for Autosport Radio Le Mans this year. Apart from all of the production facilities in Le Sarthe, GlobeCast will also utilise it's London studio base at Grays Inn Road for additional programming and production facilities.

John Hindhaugh leads the commentary team in France alongside Paul Trusswell in the Tribune commentary position. Pit-Lane Reporters will be Henry Hope-Frost, Graham Tyler and Lucy Nel. As usual Autosport Radio Le Mans will be broadcasting from noon on the Wednesday of Le Mans week through until Sunday. All of the qualifying and race action will be live and when there's no track action the usual mix of music and interviews programmes will keep fans on-site entertained and informed.
However this year Haymarket Publishing has the added attraction of GlobeCast Radio broadcasting the entire output of Radio Le Mans from the Wednesday through to Sunday night.

This means an additional 45,000 listeners on Sky Digital channel 907 across the UK and Europe and the radio webcast on the Autosport website and on GlobeCast's partner www.yoursportradio.com

GlobeCast's weekly programme "The Autosport Radio Show" will be broadcast from France during Le Mans week. A mix of live qualifying and a head to head interview with Le Mans legends Derek Bell and Jacky Ickx. "

Maybe the mods want to merge the 2 similar threads?

Another option is this service.

http://www.vingtquatre.net/unosite/pages/lemans.htm

It says its free to use but the devil may be in the detail so read all the small print. I think it only works for UK based phones.

I suspect if you sign up you may get the odd text trying to sell you something but it could be worth a try.

**Craig** · 11 Jun 2005, 17:05 (Ref:1325723)

Excellent! I have booked Wednesday off work this year so I will endeavour to get everything done in the morning then settle in and listen to RLM on Sky. If only they could find a way that would allow us to tune in during Thursday when we are driving down

jimclark · 13 Jun 2005, 00:41 (Ref:1326912)

To the top for reference

Why not listen to the stream from www.yoursportradio.com on your mobile phone en route (if you have the required internet access software installed)? Then send the signal from your phone into your car stereo via one of those mini fm transmitter jobbies. Then all you need to do is hope for a decent phone signal whilst travelling........ you should get the FM signal as soon as you reach the outer borders of Le Mans.

**Craig** · 13 Jun 2005, 16:15 (Ref:1327448)

Now there is an idea...

Sadly it's something that will have to wait for next year as my phone is so pants I can barely manage to make it send text messages without having to resort to banging it on the dashboard...

Blimey - how much would that cost all the way to Le Mans......?

It is totally free for all mobiles, both UK and non UK. The company pay for the send costs, they are standard texts so no cost to pick up where ever you are in the world. Each text has a small advert which is related to the event, ie "listen to radio le mans on XXXFM - Race positions are......."

There is no charge for anyone to recieve the messages, the adverts pay for the service.

**Aysedasi** · 14 Jun 2005, 11:08 (Ref:1328167)

I can tell you that RLM commentator Paul Truswell phoned me this morning, about to board the ferry at Dover........

E. Becclestone · 14 Jun 2005, 11:17 (Ref:1328176)

The full schedule is now up: http://www.yoursportradio.com/schedule.html
Maybe a mod can merge these 2 threads please?

**Aysedasi** · 14 Jun 2005, 11:22 (Ref:1328183)

Done

jimclark · 14 Jun 2005, 21:23 (Ref:1328768)

The adrenalin is starting to flow...counting down the hours....

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jun 2005, 07:16 (Ref:1328997)

Count them slowly Jim, don't want them to go too quickly.....

jimclark · 15 Jun 2005, 09:23 (Ref:1329070)

Slowly my arse, Ayse !!!!

I've been waiting nearly a year for this and now with less than one hour to go ('til RLM coverage begins), I'm ready and rarin' to go !!!!

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jun 2005, 09:31 (Ref:1329076)

I guess I really meant once it gets under way. There are times when I'm at the circuit, especially during the night when I'm willing the minutes to tick slower - because I know that dreaded feeling at about 4.10 p.m........

jimclark · 15 Jun 2005, 09:48 (Ref:1329094)

'unnerstood...that deflated feeling....like...."Wow, it's really over, now what?"

paraphrasing: "leMans, it's life, all the rest is just waiting...."

btw, 10 minutes 'til showtime....

awegrzyn · 15 Jun 2005, 14:16 (Ref:1329295)

Will radio le mans transmit Qulifications on Wenesday?

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jun 2005, 14:35 (Ref:1329306)

Yep - listen out in just under 2 and a half hours.

The reception I'm getting is absolutely perfect - nop drop-outs at all.

I'm going to be recording most of practice tonight.

TheNewBob · 15 Jun 2005, 16:12 (Ref:1329385)

Just tuned in to RLM - got it on windows media player, thanks to that yoursportradio.com - but is anyone else having trouble with it? Mine keeps attempting to rebuffer after anywhere between 1 and 5 minutes at a time, and when it does, it reaches about 17% then freezes, and when it finally gets going it stutters and flickers CONSTANTLY until I press stop and try and tune in again.

Incredibly annoying, although I'm wondering if this could be down to something complicated in the settings in windows media player...? I have the buffering on it's default setting at the minute.

Now and then it's buffering.

ascarmarshal · 15 Jun 2005, 16:28 (Ref:1329406)

I am listening in on Sky 907

TheNewBob · 15 Jun 2005, 16:43 (Ref:1329415)

Trying it via radiolemans.com direct - seems to be working slightly better. the buffering is very annoying - should it really be noticeable from my 2MB broadband?
