Alright, folks, let’s talk about how I managed to catch the Le Mans 24 Hours race this year, 2024. I’m in the US, and it wasn’t super straightforward, but I figured it out, and I’m here to share how I did it.
So, first off, I started digging around to see where this thing was even being broadcast. It’s a big race, but not exactly prime-time TV here in the States. I knew it would probably be some sort of streaming thing, but which one?
After a bit of searching, I found out that a digital platform called MAX was the key. Apparently, they were going to show the whole shebang – practice sessions, qualifying, and the entire 24-hour race. But there was a catch.
It wasn’t just on regular MAX. No, you needed something called the B/R Sports Add-On. I guess that’s where they put all the sports stuff. I had to do some menu-diving, and then I found it. Added that to my subscription.
- First, I signed into my regular MAX account.
- Then, I navigated to the sports section. It took a bit of searching.
- Finally, I located the B/R Sports Add-On and added it to my plan.
Once I had the right add-on, it was pretty smooth sailing. I could find the Le Mans stuff in the sports section, and they had a schedule and everything. It was a relief, to be honest. I was picturing myself staying up all night, refreshing some dodgy website, but this was way easier.
Watching the Race
The race itself was awesome. I mean, 24 hours of non-stop racing? It’s intense! I made sure I had plenty of snacks and drinks, and I settled in for the long haul. There were definitely moments where I dozed off a little, but I caught most of it. It’s a wild experience to watch something like that live.
So yeah, that’s how I watched the 2024 Le Mans in the US. It wasn’t as simple as just turning on the TV, but it wasn’t rocket science either. If you’re into endurance racing, it’s definitely worth the effort to figure out how to watch it. Just remember: MAX and the B/R Sports Add-On are your friends.
Hope this helps anyone else trying to catch the race next year!
