A more relaxed Le Mans
If you have ever been to Le Mans and spent much of the time running back and forwards trying to find the best place to watch, like I have, you may be interested to hear about Kangaroo TV.
Being far from a regular exerciser, the thought of 24-hour access to real-time telemetry and timing, live footage with on-board cameras, pit cameras and the usual static ones round the circuit, is as exciting as the day I worked out that my 15 minute bicycle ride to work could be cut to 7 on the scooter.
Basically you can rent one of these handheld TV screens for 65 euros a day or 85 for the whole weekend and then worry no more about keeping up with the race.
Having never used one before, I asked Editor Smith whether they were as good as they made themselves out to be. It seems they are: “It changes the whole experience of spectating, because you can go beyond just watching the piece of track where you are standing. It just helps you follow the race, especially one that lasts for 24 hours”.
I guess that settles that one.

Ed returned from a stint in Milan, working on the Italian version of Autocar, and joined the team in August 2007. After two years of countless scooter accidents and a constant battle against coffee addiction it was a relief for him to start writing in his mother tongue. As well as managing the website, Ed is responsible for writing the Auctions and Desirables pages, the occasional features article and made his TV debut on CNN at the end of last year commenting on the F1 season.
