Best motorsport TV channel?

[John D.]

By subscription available on Sky or whatever. Motors TV? Only one I am really aware of. Has some decent stuff but I've never been blown away.

Will be sorting out broadband & phone line for a new flat soon and may well lump in some TV stuff if the price is right.

It goes roughly like this:

BBC - F1, motoGP;
ITV - BTCC, BSB;
Open Access - NASCAR (Sprint Cup ONLY);
Sky/Eurosport - IndyCar, WBSK, Le Mans;
Motors - Club races, Speedway etc;

I'll have missed some undoubtedly but that's roughly it.

Motors also does ALMS (though only delayed coverage these days) plus V8 Supercars. Also WRC.

ESPN does the DTM, and there is an hours highlight show on Sky the following week.

BSB is live on Eurosport.

Shows how much I pay attention to TV schedules

[John D.]

Cool thanks chaps. Pretty much what I knew already, just wanted to check there was not any hidden gems out there.

Any one know if anything is offered in HD? (yes, I'm being very lazy! Finding the Sky website a bit information overload though.)

Eurosport and Sky are in HD, With sky you get speedway and Indycar live.

Motors show international gt open, euro f3 open, auto gp, fia gt3 live. Plus great and british, british f3 and british gt highlights.

Eurosport show, wtcc, f2, world series by renault live. Gp2, gp3, porsche supercup live and highlights as well as wsbk, bsb, moto gp

Espn sometimes show live dtm, fia gt1 and superleague formula when there is no football on.

The FIA GT1 and GT3 also, quite bizarrely, are shown live on the Bloomberg news channel.

[bordercontrol]

Not sure if it was a one off but the other Sunday while flicking through channels I found live FIA GT coverage on Bloomberg (Sky 502)

[Mazda Baiter]

ESPN classic sometimes show classic F1 races. You have to really search the schedules between the wendy-ball repeats though.
