Feature Events
MotoGP
– Alice Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland
– Sachsenring, Germany
– (9/17)
– www.motogp.com
Last weekend we had the German F1 GP, the 9th race of 17, and either due by design or coincidence this week sees the German MotoGP, also the 9th race of 17 but this time on the opposite side of the country to the Nurburgring over at the Sachsenring circuit between Dresden and Leipzig.
TV Guide:
UK – LIVE on BBC Two at 12.50pm Sunday, race starts at 1pm
(qualifying on BBC Red Button on Sat)
USA – LIVE on SPEED at 6pm ET Sunday
(amazing, the US gets a live MotoGP race!)
Support races are live on Eurosport and the BBC Red Button from 9.30am.
American Le Mans Series
– The American Le Mans North East Grand Prix
– Lime Rock Park, Connecticut, United States
– (5/10)
– www.americanlemans.com
The long hiatus to allow teams to compete at Le Mans – and recover – is finally over! This is a 2h45m event on the little Lime Rock circuit which last year was just a little bit frantic! Slightly fewer cars this year of course, but those up front will be trying just as hard.
TV Guide:
UK – Heavily Delayed on MotorsTV at 9.30pm on Monday 27th July
USA – LIVE on SPEED at 2pm ET Saturday
UK fans if you want to follow this event live I suggest listening to www.radiolemans.com instead! Should be at 7 or 8pm Saturday?

DTM
– Zandvoort
– Holland
– (4/10)
– www.dtm.com for news
– www.dtm.tv for live streaming and other video
The annual visit to Holland for the Germans appears likely to receive no UK TV airing following the collapse of Setanta Sports, as unlike GP2 no other broadcaster has stepped in to pick up the rights.
There should be live streaming on www.dtm.tv though! It is due to kick off at 1pm UK time.
Superleague Formula
– Zolder
– Belgium
– (6/11)
– www.superleagueformula.com
No TV deal here either for the same reasons as DTM, although I’m a little less bothered about this one!
World Series by Renault
– Le Mans Bugatti
– Le Mans, France
– (6/9)

There is a 30 minute update at 10pm Sunday on Eurosport, otherwise coverage seems as patchy and randomly-timed as ever.

I think that’s everything, if you spot anything I’ve missed or if you are attending any of these events be sure to leave a comment!
For those in the UK who missed the Goodwood Festival of Speed show on Tuesday, it will be repeated on ITV4 on Sunday at 5pm – don’t miss it!
