Good news for insomniacs... Eurosport will be showing the WTCC finale LIVE!

Starting from 0445 CET... oh my Goodness.... that's EARLY!

And there's more....

check this out....

“Eurosport, host broadcaster of the FIA World Touring Car Championship, will put in an strong effort to give the best possible exposure to the championship’s finale in Macau,” revealed Executive Producer Eric Lazayres.
Eurosport will air a special “FIA WTCC Night”: more than 9 consecutive hours of broadcast, from 0.45 to 10.00 on Sunday, November 20th.
Programming will begin with live coverage of the warm-up, from 0.45 to 1.15. Immediately afterwards Eurosport will air repeats of the championship’s latest three meetings: Oschersleben, Istanbul and Valencia, from 1.15 to 4.45.

Live broadcast of the two FIA WTCC races in Macau will start at 4.45, and continue until 7.00. This will be followed – from 7.00 to 8.30 by repeats of both races and, from 8.30 to 9.45 by live broadcast of the 52nd Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix.

Eurosport coverage from Macau on the same day will include highlights of the FIA WTCC – from 11.30 to 13.00 – and the Motorsport Weekend Magazine from 21.00 to 21.30.

As a prelude to the “FIA WTCC Night”, Eurosport will also broadcast highlights of the qualifying session on Saturday, November 19th. Details on the schedule will be announced soon."

So now you know...

And will you be in Macau, Martin?

Or a small room much nearer home?

Looking forward to this immensely.

Indeed, sounds very good to me! Macau is one of my favourite circuits and normally makes for some very entertaining racing. Nice one Eurosport!

are you the commentator.

Marcel ten Caat · 20 Oct 2005, 18:47 (Ref:1439064)

If he is...will you still set the alarm and/or video?

Just kidding Martin

Martin Haven · 20 Oct 2005, 19:29 (Ref:1439088)

Anyone got any "No-Doze" ???

Warm-up starts just after the pubs shut...

Choices, choices...

Marcel ten Caat · 20 Oct 2005, 21:31 (Ref:1439194)

Btw Martin, do you know who will be the Dutch commentator?

jondownunder · 21 Oct 2005, 11:46 (Ref:1439665)

Great news, I'm especially looking forward to seeing the F3 Grand Prix live. So I take it you'll be commentating, Martin? PLEASE tell me Carlton Kirby isn't doing it!

luke · 21 Oct 2005, 11:50 (Ref:1439672)

If Carlton isn't I'm sure Kb will be very hacked off.

He wont be the only one.

I took Martin's post to mean it would be him, thank god.

Carlton Kirby shouldn't be allowed to watch television, let alone broadcast on it.

More than a hint of jealousy in that post.

Not at all.

I'm not suggesting I should replace Carlton.

Martin is the man for the job.

The schedule has now changed. There's no live F3 anymore - Eurosport are showing amature boxing instead...

It'll be aired "as live" at 11:45am instead... no chance of live coverage on Eurosport2 either - they're showing womens Volleyball at that time.

flor · 13 Nov 2005, 19:55 (Ref:1459830)

i hope thats only british eurosport?

Emillian Stoyko · 16 Nov 2005, 10:50 (Ref:1462149)

Yup, it's only British Eurosport. The International version will air it live.

Valker · 16 Nov 2005, 11:19 (Ref:1462173)

Will Eurosport France internet stream show F3 also or only WTCC?

bf1 · 16 Nov 2005, 22:42 (Ref:1462722)

I can recieve Eurosport Germany but any chance that english commentary is available if not the german version but somewhere else on Astra19.2 E?

Sodemo · 16 Nov 2005, 23:32 (Ref:1462778)

I remember watching some kind of German / Austrian hill climb event sometime in 1999 on Eurosport and I still believe it was some of the funniest television I have ever witnessed, only because Mr Haven was ripping into how ridiculous and crazy the event was.

Craner Curves · 17 Nov 2005, 00:29 (Ref:1462815)

I miss the Paris Bercy stockcar events with either Martin's or the Geordie bloke's (Jack something?) commentary.

That event was fun (but dangerous for the drivers).
