I'm sure there will be.

Just not been announced yet.

but what about the people who have digital but dont have skysports?

No US coverage for A1???

I didn't think the A1GP was going to be shown in Australia. But a week or 2 ago I sent an email to Channel 10 and asked if they were going to be showning the races and they said they were. I was probably the first to know.

but what about the people who have digital but dont have skysports?

Well you're stuffed most probably. ;)

I imagine it'll be shown on Channel 4 at 3 o clock in the morning on Wednesday's, five weeks after the event takes place. ;)

Get skysports, break the bank! It's the only thing worth having Sky for....

If they want anyone to attend San Antonio & Laguna Seca, they'd best put some kind of a package together.

Speed is incredibly likely to pick up A1.

does anybody know what channel it will be on in new zealand and if it will be live or not

Speed is incredibly likely to pick up A1.

That certainly is the only possible channel here. What is also likely is it will taped delayed and shown at either at 3AM or 1PM on a weekday.
They would not want to preempt Texas Hard Tails, people might get upset. ;)

Two weeks ago I emailed Speedasking if they would cover A1. No reply. Now if it were NASCAR..........they'd be on it like white on rice !

its great news that fox sports in australia are covering the A1 GP series. i am really looking forward to it....

I haven't seen a single advertisment in Australia for the series or even for the race at Eastern Creek which is only about 2 months away. I really think they should be doing something to get the interest up before it happens

My spies tell me it won't be long until you start seeing ads for A1 in Australia - apparently Sept 4 is the date - also heard they're pretty impressive ads!!

I am beginning to see more and more about A1 here in Ireland. Its really beginning to get promoted big time now.

who will be showing a1 in ireland. I heard sky sports but there is a law saying all sports representing the country has to be shown free to air after the debate over the irish soccer games being shown on sky. Plus sky sports is not an irish tv channel.

Will it be on RTÉ, tv3 or TG4

I think sky sports has it sealed up and from what I have read of it there coverage really looks good. There might be a highlights package for rte

Apparently Ben Edwards & John Watson to do SKy commentary

Ben!

Wonderful news. A great commentator. Any TV channel that knows their stuff wants to use him, so it bodes well overall for the coverage too. :)

I finally have SPEED channel! :D Looks like I ought to be able to catch the races after all!

Dutch RTL7 channel will broadcast qualifying and races live. :rotate:

SWEEEEEEET! :cool:

Is Speed showing the A1 races ? I've been watching for advertisement of it, but have seen NOTHING. Then again I've been on the road for a week, and contracts may have been done since then.

Enquiring minds need to know.....

I would think that Speed would cover it, for I would imagine the nation aspect of it would market well. Considering some of the obscure stuff they show, presumably it would have a slot potential somewhere.....

I hope so at least.

But the last thing irish fans want is coverage of british commentators harping on about how great team gb is and rarly hearing about team ireland. Plus on the a1gp site it sayes only the uk has sky sports coverage so heres hoping.

Television broadcasting rights......Don't ya love them! When Setanta sports got F1 i enquired about getting it in the north of Ireland but was informed it was only available in the south of Ireland. Pain in the back side! Hope it gets sorted for you

go-jordan ... I think Ben Edwards is one of the great motorsport commentators, and I don't think you'll find him too partisan. And John Watson has a rather melodic lilt in his voice, don't you think?

yea there great and all of that but we will want to hear about team ireland and not team GB. If it was rte broadcasting a1gp in britian you lot would not want to hear about team ireland constantly.

The commentary feed from Sky, with Ben Edwards and John Watson, will as I understand it, also be available as the "international" English language feed - so I don't anticipate it being overly biased.

Fantastic news.

Ben Edwards is the love of my life. ;)

Does Belinda know?

Can't answer that, too sordid. ;)

Is this your way of coming out knowlesy :laugh:
With John and Ben on board now this championship looks better and better

Do we know yet if Speed will cover the races here in the USA? They have pulled the San Antonio race (Holding head in hands) Ohh Well!

Itv has the "international" English language feed also and all we ever hear is button this and coulthard that.

Also do you know how mush sky costs in ireland. with sky sports 60 yo yos.

ITV's feed is not specifically "international" - it's just that other broadcasters have chosen to use it (although I've always found James more pro-Schumacher than pro-British).

But anyway.

As for the cost of Sky - you take it or leave it!

I emailed them on Monday asking exactly that. No reply. My guess is that if they wern't in negotiations they would have written back with a definite "no". No reply makes me think they're negotiating down to the wire as they did with F1 a few years ago. Least I hope.......

San Antonio....an opportunity missed... think I'm going to Laguna, however.

Thank you RaceFreak! Yes indeed as I live in Austin and was looking forward to that event, any racing event* Moan groan blah blah*
:)

does anybody know what channel it will be on in new zealand and if it will be live or not

Quli and race live on TV3. By the way TVNZ have lost the rights to F1 and will be on sky next year...

Still no news as far a live coverage in the USA? I wrote to Speed channel about three weeks ago and have heard nothing back..Nice!

I have DirectTV Satellite and TiVo (Digital Recorder) and I have used keyword " A1GP" and it should have told me of any programming upcoming. Especially only a week before the event. Unfortunately I do not believe the Brands Hatch race will be televised in th USA.

I'm hopng the usual racing channels like Speed TV, Fox, ESPN etc. will pick it up.

Racing off season sucks...except for the Paris/Dakar.

isnt it stupid? Speed show enough NASCAR to sink a battleship.One would think that they Ohh never mind..

I'm living in Dubai and it seems as thiugh the only channel broadcasting it here is Al Jazeera Sports. Apart from the fact that I don't think I can get it, it will be in Arabic..... :(

I am quite lucky normally - have (illegally here....) got a couple of decoders & packages which give me the 8-sports channels from Mnet in South Africa and also the Motors TV + Eurosport channels. It seems as though A1GP will not be on any of them though....!!!!!
