Carpokes Porsche Forum

Motortrend (the regular cable/satellite channel, not a subscription or pay-per-view) is broadcasting the entire 24 hours,

Good race so far however I wish they showed more of the LMGT3 class, or at least have an option to view them (MAX)

It seems like regardless of who broadcasts LeMans they never spend much time showing the LMGT3 Class , the vehicles so many folks drive. Invariably, over the years, this has been the main complaint and yet no one ever highlights this portion of the race. I know friends in Europe who say they go to LeMans primarily for this Class and on Forums, Facebook, etc. after the race this broadcast issue is echoed by everyone. The Hypercar Class gets the vast majority of the TV exposure, yet even LMP2 is shown much more than LMGT3. Weird , when surveys and complaints of coverage all ask for more coverage of GT3 ----- it is a wonder if the powers that be will begin to listen to the consumer?

Frustrating, but nice to see Manthey Racing winning for Porsche!

Since we are close to the same age blueline, it is nice to have someone who understands the years of refinement it took for us to come up with " Dad Jokes , " er, I guess they are now " Grandad Jokes!"
