I'm sorry if this has already been discussed but I've gone back through the last few pages of topics and I can't see anything.

I used to have MotorsTV as a free part of my bargain basement Sky package meaning I could watch / record the WEC. But I haven't watched anything on Motors since last year. Now, with the WEC returning my thoughts have turned back to Motors but I heard today that it doesn't exist anymore.

Is there any way for someone that hasn't yet seen the need to buy a tablet and doesn't want to pay for BT Sport to watch the WEC via a catch up service? I'm actually away for the whole of the Easter weekend so wouldn't have been able to watch the Silverstone race live in any event.

Thanks in advance

It's still there, called motorsport tv and is showing WEC this weekend.
ELMS is also broadcast, although it my be on eurosport. The good news is that if you have 1, you have the other =)

Remember that motrs tv (and now motorsport.tv) are st at their job, so series link only records the 1st half of every WEC race. Scroll right and record the 2nd 1/2 manually. You will need to do this every round.

Thanks very much. Yeah, I noticed that about the linking last year. I got it right for the Six Hours of Spa which I still have down as the best motor race I've seen in a long time.

Eurosport Player (online) will show the entire WEC race without ad breaks. ELMS will be live on the ELMS webpage.

British GT race on Monday is being shown live on "Front Runner". Which is definitely available on FreeSat.
