Stay on terrestrail hopefully
The bad news is the BBC have said that they're not going to cover GP2 this season.
People say it won't be on ITV4 because the BBC have now got F1, but that doesn't match up, as Eurosport had GP2 at the same time as ITV had F1.
Hopefully, it'll stay on terrestrial

Crown Jewels
I was very surprised to read that F1 isn't in the 'Crown Jewels' of sport that should be kept on terrestrial TV.
I think the list should include F1, GP2, BTCC and British Superbikes

I would expect Eurosport, or at least British Eurosport to carry GP2 coverage seeing as the BBC dont want it.

I don't know, but I'm assuming that as GP2 Asia is on Eurosport that the main series will be too.
Eurosport last week managed to schedule their broadcast of the GP2 race for the same time that F1 was on live on the BBC. Clever, huh? Consequently I only saw a little bit of the two races. I did manage to catch D'Ambrosio's overtaking move though, probably the worst bit of driving I've seen in years!
At 19:15 Saturday, the FIA are announcing a new WRC event for 2025 at Sardegna. The event, I don't know - perhaps Paraguay.
