The wife and I decide to cancel our cable TV earlier this year. It was a lot of money for something really were not using much. One of the few sports events that I watched regularly on it was the 24 hour race at LeMans.
Does anyone know of streaming options for the race?
Keith mentioned in the past that he was able to stream the whole thing through Apple TV. I don't have one of the those. I am in the U.S. I don't mind paying for the one event.
Thanks for the input.

motortrend.com subscription. $5 for a month.
What wae said, hopefully it works well.

Really? I saw it advertised as such: https://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/a19852033/24-hours-of-le-mans-tv-schedule-wec-velocity-2018/
, but I have the app on my phone and don't see any Spa broadcasts listed (it was supposed to start with Spa) nor a future listing ("Coming Soon") for Le Mans.
To expand - I subscribe to the race using the FIA app on my phone, then use the AppleTV to transfer that to the big screen. There are undoubtedly non-Apple ways to do that.
The official site is https://www.lemans.org/en/24-hours-of-le-mans. There may be some options there. Ford is streaming their GT-centric version at fordperformance.tv and other manufacturers will likely do the same. Radio Le Mans will broadcast audio.

I heard the FIA stream was getting geoblocked in the US and Canada due to the agreement with Velocity / Motor Trend. I've also heard that the races are streamed but not available for replay.
I imagine the app would tell you that. They've been available for replay in the past.

If I read it correctly iit looks like the the 22 hours of the race is on Mototrend.com. The first and last are reserved for Velocity.
I'll look at the FIA apps and see if it will work. I'll also take a look to see if can get my phone to project on my TV.
Thanks everyone. I appreciate the help.
I hope radio lemans has no issues in Singapore. Of course I have an open weekend and I'm overseas and it's not in Europe. Poor planning on my part.
