I'm afraid coverage is a little hard to come by, but this is the Youtube stream from Radio Le Mans. They've forgotten more about endurance racing than I've ever known.
Stream Part 2
Stream Part 3 (Goes live about 6am Sunday)
Here's some other resources to help you out.
Live timings
Spotter's guide to the cars
Start and finish are on Quest (no I don't know what channel that is either), and I'll update this if I find any onboard streams.
Cars to keep an eye on:
#8 Toyota - LMP1 - The one all the media are concentrating on because Fernando Alonso is one of the drivers. Hope they don't find yet another way to lose it.
#11 BR1 - LMP1 - Jensen Button co-driving. This team's other car took off at Spa just over a month ago.
#31 Oreca - LMP2 - I'm not sure I'd want former F1 terror Crashtor Maldonado as a co-driver.
#32 Ligier - LMP2 - For all the fuss about Alonso, this one's got Juan Pablo Montoya onboard, and he's already won the Monaco GP and Indy 500. An outright win is unlikely but would give him the triple crown.
#92 Porsche 911 - GTE Pro - Fan's favourite, the Pink Pig.
Onboard streams:
#7 Toyota
#8 Toyota
Ford GTs
Alpine LMP2s
Rebellion LMP1s
1st retirement:
#4 Bykolles (Stuffed into the barriers)
Another:
#17 BR1 (Backed hard into barriers, then terminal engine damage limping to pits)

Eurosport deleted my details, so seems like I've been given another 7-day free trial (I was actually quite happy to pay a few pennies for the race, but this was a nice surprise). Might be worth a try. Or less cheekily, if you've never subscribed to them, Eurosport have a 7-day free trial going on.

Except they're still rooted in prototypes, without the requirement to build any for the road. It's closer in concept to the DPI format in the US, where manufacturers build prototypes with clear styling cues from the road cars.

You know something stinks when MPs mention the register of financial interests before they speak instead of just saying something like “I’m a landlord”. In fairness though, a lot of MPs are landlords because many rent out their constituency homes when they rent in London.

it's a parliamentary all party agreement / procedural thing that if no-one says 'object' then it goes through to the next phase without debate. If someone like Chope chimes in , it must then be debated....
Of course it will go through eventually. Chope just has a reputation for wanting even no-brainers debated as much as possible and he wants a chat about something that will bang people up for a couple of years.
In this instance, this is mainly because he is a cunt.

I know it's childish and reductive to make personal comments, but he looks like a real cunt. A really, really nasty piece of work. The only hope is that there's a tiny part of his brain that realizes what his life's missing; some tiny, nagging feeling of shame and unhappiness.

Chope just thinks every bill should be debated before made law. This kind of thinking should protect us from nonsense laws, you would think, so how come nonsense laws like the Psychoactive Substances Act still get passed. The act was designed to restrict sale and supply of "legal highs" but which, it was pointed out, could also include almost every substance that affects the brain. Alcohol, painkillers, coffee...
Reform the arcane laws and solve the problem. The UK could do with a decent reformist PM

"We've asked the Mayor to let us fly him over London when Trump visits Britain on 13th July. But officials at City Hall have told us that #TrumpBaby is “not a protest”. Apparently, he is “art”.
Tried to get at least an RT/support and been ignored by (amongst others and probably fair enough but we need help)...Mark Hamill, Paul Mason, Mayor Sadiq, cassetteboy (might be asleep) Dr Janina Ramirez, James O'Brien, Marks Thomas AND Steel.
anyway, look, forget the crowd funder. a grand of helium can be done but this thing's a beaut.so please, get involved...especially if you or a mate has garden space in central London that would make this plea pointless. If not, put the word out. I love you and we can meet by his thther on the day.
also, I'm drunk on maple whisky and didn't physically make it. T' booze or t' baby.

And I understand that that is the basis of fire spread prevention in a block. I support that.
The problem is though that that assumes that keeping the doors shut will inhibit the spread of a fire. That a fire would spread from the inside of a block outward. In Grenfell that was categorically not the case. Grenfell burned from the outside in and was spreading uncontrollably from an early stage, something that the people on scene should have recognised much earlier.
There is rarely one cause to a disaster, usually a chain of events and decisions have to occur beforehand. Change one of those, and you change the outcome. Sticking to the “stay put” advice on the night in spite of the evidence that it was failing was not the primary cause, but it would seem to be a major contributory factor.

Back in the antediluvian 1960s this was somewhat frowned upon. Thank goodness we live in more enlightened times. Indeed, in some sectors of our diverse and multicultural modern society, such behaviour is quite normal.
