Sky deny that they have the rights, so I am inclined to believe that it was a mis-translation from German, by someone who assumed that as Motors is available on Sky, it must be Sky.

Anyway, it isn't a problem, because unlike this year, when DTM and BTCC calendars clashed 5 times, it only happens once next year - Zandvoort/Snetterton - and it will just mean the DTM not being shown live that weekend.

Anyway, back on topic.....I'm still wondering HOW this will work....it's surely not possible for Ben Edwards to commentate for 8 hours a day with very little break...

Perhaps he could just do the BTCC races, and they could tie into the trackside feed for the Supports? :confused:
At Snetterton this year he did nine hours, with only one break. But I'd expect them to use two pairs of commentators.
