[Ravon]

Great News, two excellent knowledgable commentators, both skilled and formidible racers ( anyone see Ben Edwards one off return to Caterhams at Oulton Park a couple of years ago ? ). Lets hope the racing is up to it !

Will it be on terretrial at sensible times?

If it's on Sky only it's doomed to oblivion.

I think (but i'm not sure) it's sky only. But as I just moved into a house with sky (inc all sports and movie channels!!! the landlord must be mad) i'm laughing.

Lucky you - but if they hope to have a high profile and reach a wide audience, then restricting the coverage to Sky is not going to help.

Does anyone know the TV deal regarding the GP Masters series?

I completely agree. I was gutted I wouldn't be able to see it until a sudden move and a spot of good fortune. They just dont have the advertising funds behind the series yet. If a lot of people watch it on Sky then advertisers might pay for it to go to terrestrial.

Dont forget viewing figures for WSBK went down the pan once sky stopped covering it..
