Rough guide to what's on British TV (Live or as close as...)
Since I've ended up lurking here, will start a thread to see what I normally watch, and what to get upset about...
A1GP - On Sky Sports for the rest of the season obviously V8 Supercars - despite the change from 10 to 7 in Australia, same as usual here - MotorsTV have pledged full delayed race coverage for all events + live Bathurst and Sandown. WTCC - Slight change in timing of the events apparently not going to stop both races being shown live on British Eurosport BTCC - ITV the sole channel covering the third race live only with highlights of the first two DTM - Live coverage of all events on MotorsTV FIA GT - Bravo/Player TV are out of the game - possibly no coverage. Heard rumours of it going back to Eurosport or possibly to Motors TV? Possible addition of GT3 to live as well if on Motors. LMES - Presumably live on MotorsTV again, less clashes likely with BTCC removal from their calendar. ALMS - Live on MotorsTV Le Mans - live on MotorsTV Formula 1 - ITV Champcar - Presumed still live on Eurosport, highlights on MotorsTV? Indycar - Presumed still on Sky Sports. GP2 - Presumed live on Eurosport If anyone's heard otherwise - let me know now so I can get my sulk over with Last edited by Hazard; 25 Feb 2007 at 18:54. |

It's actually looking pretty good, isn't it?
Can anyone else add to the list? To start off: Nascar Nextel Cup - Live coverage on Setanta Ireland (don't ask!) Nascar Busch Series - unknown - anyone?? How about rallying and bikes? Anyone? |

GP2, FIA GT and (I think) British GT highlights are on ITV. NASCAR Bucsh can be watched for free on NASCAR.com, dunno about TV though.

I noticed there was some Daytona 500 highlights on FiveUS (digital FTA channel) recently during primetime. Same timeslot they used to show NHRA drag racing. Not sure if there is any plan for more of it.

BTCC is confirmed as being on ITV according to the BTCC official website. They haven't confirmed timings yet though and there's every chance that they could do a deal with another broadcaster regarding showing more than one race live. Either way ITV can go bright green (well at least for one of the races).

FIA GT - Ratel is still negotiating with Bravo/Player. Haven't read anywhere they are out of the game. Even Sky sports was mentioned.
LMS - still not sure if Motors TV will show live coverage or highlights. Or any coverage at all. BF3 & BGT - won't there be highlights on Motors TV, as usual? |

Then again, with two hour races this year but still 2 mandatory pitstops - probably not such an issue. |

I don't think you should read too much into it. I'm told that there will be a new TV deal this year, which won't be announced until media day. |

Has been confirmed that they will show live coverage of all 6 rounds. They will also show a magazine about Endurance racing this year. |
