Probably single biggest racing event of the year ex-Indy and the best they can do is a 1hr broadcast on the first day of the race? Fail.

It sucks but Le Mans isn't a big deal in America. If it were they would broadcast the whole damn thing! Everyone is too busy watching NASCAR and real housewives of wherever.

Uh, if you add it up...they've got 11 hours of coverage.

Maybe you enjoy watching endurance racing in the dark. Me, not so much. I don't have the endurance.

Try WEC Streaming + Chromecast. That way you can watch it at home on the big TV, on the ****ter with your phone and traveling with no interruptions!

They did a better job last year. Broadcast something like 3hrs from the start on Saturday then picked up good deal of the second half of the race on Sunday.

Sorry, I don't count streaming to a laptop as broadcasting. Then again, I'm not one of those millennials walking around with my face buried in an iPhone so clearly there's something wrong with me.

Like Jalopnik's take on it:
If You Have Fox Sports, FS2, and Fox Sports Go

You can follow this, frankly, ridiculous schedule:

No. 1hr from 7pm-8pm. Apparently women's soccer draws more eyeballs...not that there's anything wrong with that.

WTF I just looked through 900 cannels of **** and no fox sports 2 at all. How can the race not be on tv at all with all those countless hours of crap. Its getting harder and harder to even find any of these races on tv. I hate watching on the computer. Its easier to be a fan of little league baseball or cooking than sports car racing anymore. Sad.

Speed became Fox Sports 1 on August 17, 2013...the same day Fuel TV rebranded as Fox Sports 2.

On satellite, Fox Sports 1 can be found on DirecTV on CH 219. On Dish Network CH 150.

On satellite, Fox Sports 2 can be found on DirecTV on CH 618. On Dish Network CH 397.

If you have a local cable provider, use the "FIND FOX SPORTS" function here: http://www.foxsports.com/watch/foxsports1

So if my cable company doesn't have FS2 I can't watch Le Mans on FSGO? Right now Moto GP qualifying is on which is cool but not what I want to watch.
