So the 2009 Le Mans race is starting in a few hours, and since I now have EuroSport, I finally have access to the thing! Watched the Legends race just now and I found it so much nicer to watch than the Le Mans qualifying yesterday. Was such a joy seeing all the cars squirming and wriggling under braking, then drifting and oversteering out of the corners. A number of close battles up and down the field, particularly for the lead. Race was won in the end by a Ferrari 250LM.
Anyway, I want to ask you guys, particularly the European members, as I'm sure you've watched it a number of times before: How do you watch a live 24h sporting event? Obviously I can't be sitting in front of the TV the whole time, can I? Which are the better moments to watch? How much of my Sunday should I devote to this? What do the rest of you usually do?
