Just heard that the US ALMS coverage is changing over from SPEED to ESPN and ABC. Was just wondering if that was going to have any impact on the coverage offered by Motors this year. ALMS is one of my favourite series so would be gutted if we could only access the ILMC races via Eurosport this year.

Wondered if anyone knew if Motors are still showing this year.

Oh, and hi all!!!

Good question - I hope we get coverage again on Motors - it would be nice to have more live races as well.

I'm interested too. I have been paying to get MotorsTV for years and there are less reasons to do so each year. One of few remaining was the live coverage of PLM and Sebring. Other races of 2010 I watched on the net a day or two later (as opposed to delayed by weeks on Motors )

Here all the infos. All races Live on ESPN3.com and delayed highlights on ESPN2 or ABC.

Sorry, I was aware of the changes in the US, but there is no mention there of how that might effect non US broadcasts. I was kind of hoping someone from Motors might comment...

Especially now cytosport are taking the Aston-Martin Lolas...

I am interested as well, will motors have full live coverage of alms during 2011, can someone from motorstv respond

The ALMS continues to own/package and distribute its own international rights – the same as in past years. ALMS and its international partner Greenlight-TV are continuing to work on distribution agreements with a wide variety of international outlets around the world such as MotorsTV, Fox Latin American Networks, Fox Sports Net in Australia and Middle East, etc. Now that the ALMS’ domestic TV distribution agreement is in place, ALMS and Greenlight-TV are hard at work to finish agreements that can be either a) live and in their entirety, b) tape delayed post-produced 90-minute or two-hour race telecasts based on shows that air in the U.S. or c) customized highlight shows of varying lengths depending placement needs in markets or regions around the world. The most popular highlight program length is 60 minutes. Last year, ALMS highlight programs reached more than 600 million households around the world and that plan will continue via Greenlight-TV in 2011.


This means they COULD show all races Live

...but they didn't last year, so would they do it in 2011?

Just bumping this, does anyone from Motors check the forums?

ALMS was one of my favourite series last year (thinking Johnny Cocker's storming last lap to win) and would be gutted to miss out this year. LMS on Eurosport just doesn't compare to it, proper racing not completely dominated by two diesel teams..

Sebring is not mentioned in the March highlights for Motors...

As informed by Motors TV ALMS rights are not yet secured. Infos should follow soon.

Thanks for the update, not looking too promising then... :s

Just wondering if anyone had heard anything? been seeing loads of updates on facebook and Sebring is less than a month away now.... :s

I didn't hear anything yet and the schedule stops at March 18th which looks to me like it's still not clear what will happen.

I am interested too whether it gets broadcasted on MotorsTV.
