Australian broadcast details here!
The 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans begins tonight at 11:00pm AEST and with Australian Mark Webber's Porsche likely - hopefully! - to figure in the frenetic LMP1 battle at the front of the 56-car field (and plenty of New Zealand representation, in all four classes) there's more interest in the French endurance classic in this neck of the woods than ever before.
Thankfully, between FOX Sports and Eurosport, Australians can follow 20 of the 24 total hours live on television, and for the first time in race history, camera positions around the entirety of the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe will be manned all through the French night, putting an end to external shots only of the permanent sections of the track from the Porsche Curves to the Tertre Rouge corner and only in-car shots after that. About time, too!
The only time when there won't be live coverage from Le Mans is between 3:00am and 7:00am on Sunday morning AEST.
Eurosport's coverage will feature Martin Haven, Jeremy Shaw and the usual crew.
FOX has taken the Radio Le Mans call (John Hindaugh, Graham Goodwin and others) of the two World Endurance Championship races this year, but there's also a chance they'll take FOX Sports coverage from North America, which will be headed up by Bob Varsha and Calvin Fish.
