It's a new look and sound for Motors TV as they intend to broadcast live flag- to flag coverage of the ALMS Mid Ohio event. It's the first time A European audience will have hjad the cahnce to see a full 2 hours and 45 mins of ALMS action 'live'. As a bonus for the viewers to the channel, Motors TV will further add to the atmosphere by featuring the on-site ALMS Radio commentary as their play -by play throughout the whole of their English langauge broadcast of the Mid Ohio race. This mirrors the use of Radio le Mans for the last two 24 hour races by Speed TV. Their 'insomniacs coverage' has proved to be a big hit with fans.

Although the ALMS Radio coverage has been used by local radio staions in the US and in in segments by Speed TV this will be the first time that a major TV brodcaster has completely turned over their airwaves to the the ALMS Team.

For Mid Ohio the team will consist of Graham Tyler in the pits, with Jim Martyn and John Hindhaugh in the booth. All three are just back from duty as part of Radio Le Mans at the recent 24 Hours in France. Hindhaugh has already done duty with Motors TV on AMA Motorcycles, Busch Series and of course LMES Monza 1000K. There's more good news for Sportscar fans as Motors will also be showing live coverage of the Saturday Evening LMES race from Nurburgring. After their successful debut at Monza the Franchitti/Hindhaugh pairing is retained for commenatary.

Meanwhile back at the ALMS Mid Ohio - as ever there will be live Radio coverage of Qualifying on Saturday at www.americanlemans.com

Fans in Europe as well as in the USA are encouraged to contact the studio with comments, questions and observations prior to and during the broadcast. The address is radioweb@americanlemans.com
