Lets NOT thank eurosport

Yes, OK the eurosport Elkart lake coverage was great, hardly any adds, build up and no cut at the end.

BUT you wont like the look of this.



What on earth is this? I though eurosport were showing every CART race live apart from Eurospeedway and Rockingham.

11pm on monday night?What a stupid time to put the race on.

It was said in the beginning of the year that Vancouver Indy won't be live on Eurosport! I quess it is because of US Open what Eurosport shows for the first time Hope they will show the whole race in ReLive... Keep your fingers crossed!

When it says Monday at 0000h CET I think it means that it will be shown on Sunday night, Gregor. I checked out eurosport.com, and they have it listed as starting Sunday 2nd at 23:59 CET. This means that it will only be delayed by an hour, as the local start time (5 EDT) is 6 hours behind CET.

I have also heard it will be "just" 1 hour delayed. But will there be 2 hour coverage or 1 hour live coverage!? I hope it's going to be 2 hour coverage (so they run 1 h after the real race on Eurosport). I hate to see only last 1/3 of the race

I agree. I hope they show the entire race 1 hour delayed, and not just the last hour live, as you say. I think that's how it's going to be. It's usually the highlights the day after that are compressed to 1 hour.

What local time (Canada) does the race begin? Is it 2pm? if so, the race would be LIVE.

00:00 take away 8 hours is 14:00.

I'm trying to remember what time the LIVE Vancouver race was last year.

All I know is that CET is 6 hours ahead of EDT. In my first post in this topic, I said this was the "local" time. That is of course wrong. I have no idea what time the race starts locally in Vancouver. But if the race starts 5 pm EDT, that should equal 11 pm CET.

Isn't CET 1 hour ahead of BST? So 00:00 CET is 23:00 BST.

So wouldn't the race be on as it happens, here in Britain?

I think we're getting confused...

CET is 1 hour ahead of BST, which means the race will start at 22:00 BST and 23:00 CET. It will still be delayed by one hour, both in Britain and in the rest of Europe, as Eurosport coverage (unless I've had my wires severely crossed ) will start at 23:00 BST and 00:00 CET. Or whatever.

Yeah but at least Eurosport comes free with most Sky packages!! I really enjoy Guy Hobbs and Jeremy Shaw as commentators - does anyone know theri e-mail address? I rememeber them saying it was something like thecarguys at eurosport - Would be nice to ask them some questions about CART because they are very good at giving you the behind the scenes info - always good during the silly season!

Last night the Sky Digi EPG didn't have it listed, but now it is listed at 23.00 UK Time, it is a one hour slot till midnight, when it's followed by "Stunts" - let's hope they scrap the pre-recorded stuff.

The race is due off at 10pm UK time as we know, so someone at Eurosport is either making a cock up or intending to do a lot of editing, expect the coverage to be usual eurosport assemble edited **** going from lap 1 to lap 33 in two seconds, boy that was a quick lap!

It is a one hour slot as you say, starting at 00:00 CET. This probably means that they will show the starting grid and the first lap, and then jump straight in live after that, judging from past experience.

I will be recording it anyway, as I won't be home that night.
