Live Tracker Preview

I have updated the tracker to support Le Mans 2008. You can download the preview in the right column. This is not the final Le Mans tracker, as some of the data is not yet available from Lemans.org.»

I did actually plan to make a new and better live tracker, but am swamped with work, so I am only going to update the Live tracker I made last year. So, it is not a new tracker, but it is as good as always :)

I am going to make a tracker for the Le Mans web cameras. This you can use to see the web cameras placed around the tracks and in the pits. The web camera part is Club 24 material, so you need a club24 membership to make it work.

Hi James, Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Yes, I do plan to "come back" next year. Le Mans is a truly magnificent event, and I really enjoy covering it, and making the trackers for you.

Hi!

I used your Tracker the second year now.

It is perfect to keep track of the race.

Scales nicely with growing screens over the years ;)

..don't know what you could improve..

Lemans.org could update their chronos faster but thats out of your hands.

so.. Thanks!!

..until next year :)

Hi SoL, Thanks - and I am glad to have you back here each year!

I do have a thing or two I would want to improve about the tracker, but as you said there is not much we can do about how frequently it updates.

 

Get the Live Tracker

Baekdal.com's Le Mans viewer allows you to see the Chronos (standings), News, Race Events, Photos, and the Entry list in a single interface. It is a great way to keep up-to-date with the event from qualification to the 24 hour race.

tracker

It uses the publicly available race data from the official Le Mans website.

Status: June 14, 16:24:00 CET
Tracker changed (again): Race Events now displays English data on the English page. Lemans.org have added the wrong link to their page.

How to use:

Download the tracker, unzip the file and double-click on the HTML file inside it.

Note: requires IE7, Firefox 2.
