MotorsTV had only 1 cable provider in Ukraine and that cotract has been terminated on January the 1st.

On the news mail I've recieved there is also DigiSport HD isn't it reaching also Ukraine?

There'll be an Official Stream as usual, u know?

Int.Open also said.

we are concentrating on the season that will be provided in HD in many new TVs! You will be delighted!!

Never heard of that one. Google returned some satellite card-sharing sites.
I hope Gtopen.TV will be available throughout the season.

LGY i am not criticising your decision because i love the old GT1 cars and its great to see them still racing but how come you have let them in? Its not like you are struggling for cars or decent teams and drivers.

[Nick6]

The new GT2 cars are prepared almost to the same level as the old GT1 cars, sometimes more so. The biggest difference between the two, that I know of, is engine capacity, but I guess a restrictor/weight table covers that.

So many countries for coverage-would Australia be one of them?

On the docs I've recieved says Speed Australia deferred TBC To Be Confirmed

Anyway seems the will continue with the Livestreaming on their webTV Gtopen.TV

On GT3 I know that Kessel will be there with 3 cars

one for Zampieri - ???(former italianF3 Champion, Worldseries and ferrari academy! )

Should be a nice year and the entries remind me of those FIA GT days.

Mapelli and Hamilton for Autorlando’s Porsche GT3 R, I've no idea if the Italian team will also manage a 2012 RSR, but very unlikely their 2007 RSR with 2008 bodyworks and 4.0L engine will be raced again since it hadn't been race last year.

Some test pics can be found on the bottom

[911targa]

Drive X also test their 2007/08 RSR alongside their 2012 machine, so I guess that's the fourth GT2 Porsche mentioned. Anyway their new car reminds me of Paul Miller's test car, both on Dunlop tires.

not bad the 2012 entry list, still I don't know why I never liked this GT Open and I never follow the races online or TV where they are fully available !
