Disappointment about lack of TV coverage

[tommy2k8]

I'm quite disappointed that the BBC aren't showing the GP2 races. Whoever gets F1 from next year or when the contract runs out proper, I hope they show GP2 live, because I thiink they were more entertaining than F1!

But wasn't Eurosport the broadcaster of GP2 in the UK???

Yes, sorry, I should have reworded that!

I am disappointed about the lack of terrestrial TV coverage - in 2008 it was on ITV4, I was hoping the BBC would show it when they got F1.

The BBC probably aren't interested. Look at the rest of the sports they cover - they only want the big events. A minority/niche series doesn't float their boat. MotoGP qualifying, Moto2, 125cc are on the red button.

Sadly, yes. And, even though the BBC sports department are having to cut back, I'd rather not see F1 go! However, I think it will and if it does, and ITV get it back, I hope ITV4 screens GP2 again
