The entire 24 hours of the race will be live streamed live via Fox Sports GO. You’ll need to login to a cable or satellite provider, but it will be available beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, and will run through around that time on Sunday.
Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2 will carry television coverage of the race. It will start on FS1 at 8:30 a.m. and will run through 10 a.m. FS2 will take over at 1 p.m. all the way through 1 a.m. on Sunday. There, FS1 will take over again through 9:30 a.m.
Last year, a Toyota TS050 Hybrid was leading the race with less than five minutes to go. An airline leading to the turbo failed and the car came to a stop, allowing the Porsche 919 Hybrid to take the lead and the win for the team and the drivers — Romain Dumas, Neel Jani, and Marc Lieb.
Of those three, Jani is the only one racing in LMP1 this year. In fact, the entry list for LMP1 has shrunk considerably thanks to Audi departing the world of prototype racecars. There are two Porsche 919 Hybrids, three Toyota 5S050 Hybrids, and the privateer car from ByKolles Racing Team, dubbed the ENSO CLM P1/01-Nismo.
Jani teams with Nick Tnady and Andre Lotterer. The other Porsche team is made up of Brendon Harley, Timo Bernhard and Earl Bamber.
Kamui Kobayashi is Toyota’s top driver, or at least one of them. They are favored in this year’s race, same as they were in 2016. Kobayashi qualified fastest in the race, setting several lap records in the process. The No. 8 Toyota qualified in second on the grid, giving the team a front-row lockout.
Below is the full schedule and all you need to watch this year’s action.
