I doubt ESPN will have UK presenters or studio, but will use the US feed in its entirity.

    Bring back Ben Edwards and Jeremy Shaw i say!!!!
    If thats the case, I hope they don't have as many ads as the US!

    Is there any footage on the web of IndyCar presenters in the studio when that race was aired?

    Shame about Sky losing it. They moved it around too much, but it was clear that the studio team were into what they were talking about. Keith Huewen deserved a medal for how he handled Dan Wheldon's death.

    Just been announced that BT Sport has bought ESPN & ESPN America, so not sure how this will affect the UK IndyCar coverage this season.

    Strange business at ESPN UK, they lost the English Premier League rights, so have decided to sell up. What about all the other sports rights they have/ had??

    Will they all be transferred to BT?

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    WT

    But they'll still show IndyCar? Not that I really follow or like Nascar, but I was a little surprised at the lack of coverage this weekend. Motors TV showed Nationwide on constant loop (the crash also ended up on the BBC), but Sprint Cup coverage seemed to be an hour's highlights on ESPN in the middle of the night.

    Sprint Cup was on Premier Sports (Sky 428) like it has been for the last two years and will be for at least the next two. (2011-2014)
    2nd place in the big quizz challenge!
