Seems I'll be in Yokohama this Sunday. Since I missed the last race due to being en-route to somewhere and had to watch the replay, I'd love to watch this race live. Will it be on one of the main TV channels? Is it streamed online in Japan? I'll be at the Sheraton Yokohama for one night if anyone knows of a local sports bar I need to attend.

Thanks!

Obviously a bit late now, but for future reference or in case anyone else sees this thread - your best bet is probably an English pub. There's a chain called HUB and they always have sport on TV (watched a Premier League game with a pint last time I was there). There's one in Yokohama in the shopping mall next to Sakuragicho station (1 stop down from Yokohama), although I'm struggling to find it on the website so it may have closed (or I may be remembering the name wrong). There are loads around Tokyo though.

Be aware that the Hub only show the J TV coverage and it is rubbish.

Find a British owned pub and they will generally be streaming it from the UK.
