UK TV coverage

Lazy post o rama.

So where do I watch NASCAR in the UK? Sky? Premier? Carrot?

Jacques Rabbit · 11 Feb 2012, 02:23 (Ref:3024389)

All 38 weekends of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will be shown on Premier Sports in 2012. They had a two-year deal to do exactly that beginning in 2011, so it's up for grabs again after his season.

Not sure if you guys get the other series.

Nationwide on Motors TV

There is always an abundance of good quality internet streams, I've been able to watch NASCAR live for years without any telly subscriptions.

Live coverage on radio, via the app on android or iPhone (tunein radio),
When in the app, look the the search box, type in NASCAR, and it will show you stations that have live NASCAR coverage.

Any ones in particular you'd recommend?

Thanks for the replies.

So it is premier sports. Thanks. Which means it isn't in HD.

brands hatch · 20 Feb 2012, 10:31 (Ref:3028303)

Anyone know if Speed or premier sports offer an "online subscription" like you can do for Eurosport?

Don't believe Prem Sports do.

If the Bud shoot out is anything to go by, its going to be a lively Daytona 500.

Go for it. Get your subscription in to Premier

I'd love to, but i can only get cable (stupid leasehold rules forbid satellite dishes), and as we know, Premier and Virgin Media are playing silly b*****s. So i hope i can find a decent way of seeing it via the interweb, although last season they were getting pretty hot at taking down streams so i'm not too hopeful.

Although as SD pictures go it isn't too bad.

Sky will show highlights and they are HD.

Whats the problem with Premier and Virgin?

I would prefer to go with Virgin and get TV via cable. Nascar on Premier is the only reason I have still got Sky.

I understood that if enough people requested it then Virgin would broadcast Premier, or is that the problem, not enough people are asking for it?

Virgin offered to carry Premier as a premium channel, like Sky Sports or Box Nation etc, at around £7.99 p.m. same as Sky. But Premier want to be included as part of the XL TV package like ESPN is now, which is never going to happen. There are many other channels that Virgin could add to the XL package and get more subscribers. They're not going to add a small sports channel that carries sports that the majority in the UK have never heard of, let alone want to watch.

Basically, after much badgering and complaining by many people to Virgin on behalf of Premier Sports, they've gone and shot themselves in the foot.

Virgin offered Premier a deal to be a premium pay monthly channel but they turned it down. They want to be included on the XL TV package.

Own goal by Premier.

Just watched the shootout on sky. Oooo, it is so shiny and lovely.

I want it all, I want shiny and live.

**ghinzani** · 25 Feb 2012, 18:39 (Ref:3030965)

Just watching a stream in I think Dutch. All I can make out is 'durn ika pad rik'... great stuff!

**FIRE** · 25 Feb 2012, 18:42 (Ref:3030966)

There's no Dutch channel covering NASCAR. I assume it's Swedish.

Possibly - it soon dissapeared from Justin tho

Rob29 · 26 Feb 2012, 08:41 (Ref:3031344)

Motors TV coverage pretty good.Don't get as many ad breaks as the US it seems-we get silent pics when host broadcaster is on a break.

Peat · 26 Feb 2012, 10:27 (Ref:3031376)

I enjoyed the Nationwide last night and thought i'd check out Premier Sports just to see how much it was.

Pretty gobsmacked.

Best part of £100 a year?? I'll stick with Sky's delayed highlights thanks...

Did the same myself, might cancel sky sports an get premier though. Might get it cheaper through sky

barnettracing · 26 Feb 2012, 13:08 (Ref:3031440)

If anyone wants a stream for the 500 tonight I had one that worked well for the Nationwide race yesterday. Just PM me as the suits are always pretty hot at taking down good streams and posting in a public forum just seems to shout 'shut me down'.

it is £7.99 a month. Or £75 for 12 months.
Which is technically the best part of £100 I know...
