I know there's a few who spread their loyalty around a bit... in normal times it can be a juggle, but with the condensed seasons all kicking off it's a bit mad - tomorrow we have 3 essential series to watch - F1, BTCC and WSB. My sky+ has two channels! Worked out I can tape the WSB and the BTCC while watching F1/2/3 via sky go on the laptop attached to the telly with a HDMI. Hopefully vodafones trite internet service won't let us down.

But next week...

F1
BSB
WSB
motoGP
BTCC

How does one manage? I'm hoping the eurosport catch-up service will have at least one of the superbike series and that can just about make it work I think..

There is also NASCAR from New Hampshire for those of us who have subscribed to Premier for our motorsport fix. As well as DTM on BT Sport. I believe there is also endurance racing from the 'ring also on You Tube. A lot for us to enjoy.

Well the F2 via sky go/laptop/HDMI was pretty dire - anyone else find online streamed live events to have awful motion flow? But luckily the WSB is 1pm and the F1 2pm so its all working out.

Pondering if I should chop the sky hd in for a sky q box - 4 channels at once I believe.

...sky go...
I watched a couple of the recent Premier League football games via SkyGo (as I was under lockdown outwith my own house) and the picture quality was rubbish and plenty of buffering.

I've not had the same problem watching pre-recorded content via SkyGo, so I suspect they have bandwidth issues with lots of people watching live events.

Don’t forget IMSA and V8 Supercars,

I have sky Q for recording F1, Moto GP, BTCC, British GT

Premier for NASCAR

Superview for V8 Supercars

YouTube seems to cater for the rest now days, WEC, IMSA, Bathurst 12hr and N24

When I’m not racing I’m watching it! Lucky I have an understanding Mrs!

What happened to the Escort Saturday Mike? Looked quick and then sadly vanished? Hope nothing too serious/expensive.
