Motorsport to watch on TV this weekend...

Charlie-Bravo

As a person who enjoys watching anything that involves petrol burning machines, and between weekends when there's no F1 on, I feel I need something to keep me going.

I've had a quick look around but cannot find anything for this weekend 3-5 July. Anyone any idea of what is on this weekend worth watching?

This thread can be updated to show what days and times certain events are on, be it F1, A1GP, F2 etc going forward!

MotoGP from Laguna Seca/World series by Renault/World touring cars.

Not everyone has Sky Sports, but for those who don't there's always some American streaming them on ustream or justin.tv

Unless it's a night race I rarely get to watch it on Sky anyway, so I've to hit up myp2p.eu and find a justin link on that.

The Skerries race sounds like it could be a laugh, anyone got times or links for it?

Easy, when you consider that their completely different and almost never on at the same time.

amacachi

Compare it to the NASCAR road track races like last week ffs, it was like touring cars 2-wide with 800 horsepower. :P


But again, any info on the Skerries race would be appreciated.

indeed it was a fantastic race better than any f1 race ive ever watched

but i watch f1 for the fact i love motor racing of anykind and the fact that they are never on at the same time means i watch both

I think the races go rain or shine within reason. I'm hoping to get out that way in the afternoon some time.

Hi guys,

I know there's a few events on this weekend but I am wondering if anyone knows if the GP2 Feature race is on live TV on any of the channels...I just don't see it on Setanta or YOYOsport (Eurosport)?

The Sprint race is on Setanta Ireland and Eurosport 2 at lunchtime on Sunday but would prefer to watch the Feature Race LIVE...Anyone know?!

What is on this weekend is:

GP2 Feature re-run (12.40 Setanta Ireland)
GP2 Sprint Live (14.10 Setanta Ireland), (3pm British Eurosport 2)
FIA Formula Two (12.30 British Eurosport 1)
FIA GT Championship (Setanta Ireland at 4pm)

This is just to keep us occupied till Singapore 2009 F1 race!
