Motors TV
has enhanced its reputation as the place to be for top-level sportscar racing
action, by adding coverage of three-more senior championships to its already
impressive line up.
In 2008, the ‘High Speed Television’ channel will carry highlights of the
burgeoning FIA GT3 championship and GT4 European Cup, as well as Belcar,
Belgium’s hugely-competitive domestic GT series. This is in addition to its
LIVE coverage of all five Le Mans Series races, LIVE and
DELAYED-AS-LIVE coverage of every round of the American Le Mans Series,
highlights of the British GT and French GT championships as well as from the
Dutch Supercar challenge. The popular magazine show ‘Endurance Mag’ will also
return featuring behind-the-scenes news, views and interviews.
Created by
SRO in 2006, the FIA GT3 championship has expanded in popularity over the past
two years and now features packed-grids of Ferrari 430s, Aston Martin DBRS9s
Dodge Vipers, Porsche 997s, Lamborghini Gallardos and Ford Mustangs. 2008 will
see the series race at Silverstone, Monza, Oschersleben, Brno, Nogaro and Dubai,
with Motors TV bringing 26 minutes of highlights from each race.
The GT4
European Cup, another SRO-run series, is a similar concept to the FIA GT
Championship but for GT4 machinery such as the Aston Martin Vantage, Nissan
350Z, Porsche Cayman, BMW Z4, Ginetta G50 or Ford Mustang FR500. The series will
follow the GT3 calendar, with the exception of Dubai which is replaced by a race
at Spa. Motors TV has 26 of minutes highlights from each round.
Belcar is
Belgium’s hotly-contested domestic GT series run for GT3-spec machinery. The
Mosler MT900 was among the championship contenders last season, although a
Porsche 997 ultimately took the title. The championship features seven rounds,
four of which are double-headers, and includes the 24 hours of Zolder. Motors TV
has 26 minutes highlights from each race.
Other highlights of the Motors
TV schedule in 2008 include LIVE coverage of the DTM, V8 Supercar
Championship and F3 Euroseries and extended highlights of the British F3
International Series and Formula Palmer Audi.
