So I will be watching from the couch. If anybody lives near Stuttgart, the Porsche museum will be open 24 hours and they will show the entire race on a big screen.

Actually, after some quick googling, it looks like I might be in luck, depending on what channels come with this fancy cable thing I just got. I'm not used to having cable, so I forgot I might be able to catch it there. :))

Yeah it's not actually that hard to get a half decent feed, and if your struggling for decent commentary Radio Le Mans have an audio stream you can tune into... I'm trying to work out the best solution for watching it on my phone at work lol...

r/wec

Is the place I go to for streams if your struggling :P

But yeah it should be a really good race this year with Audi having so many problems and Porsche being so competitive

It's on Fox Sports, so I'm able to watch. :D I will admit I was lazy in the past about finding streams, so it's probably my own fault I've thought I couldn't watch it until now. :)) That said, I do wish it were broadcast on network TV and publicized at least a little bit more. ;)
