Formula E races on a lot of bad street circuits, but the new layout for Germany might be the worst yet.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's available in the UK because ITV4 aren't showing it live. It's live on FS2 in the US.

Just about every touring car series kicks off this weekend, BTCC at Brands Hatch, ETCC and WTCC at Paul Ricard and TCR at Bahrain.

As if there wasnt enough racing this weekend, the 24H series Silverstone race is about to start and video is on radiolemans.com Only 40-something cars though and no GT cars

Yeah I was reading about this, apparently the race organisers run a touring car endurance series and made this race touring car only to promote that series. No doubt this effectively being touring car weekend had something to do with it as well.

E: Speaking of touring cars, TCR is streaming their races live.

First WTCC race at Paul Ricard was also pretty good in the midpack, should be an interesting second race later. BTCC is another level though.

Yeah it's weird. Apparently the second race was also pretty decent but I haven't seen it yet. The only real issue I had is that Paul Ricard isn't much of a spectator's track.

Sports Club race was pretty good, was fun watching the pole guys completely lose all their pace once the dry line started to appear. The Sprint series qualifying race should be starting in about 40 minutes.

I feel like there will be a civilised discussion between the BMW and Lambo teams.

Race 2 of BTCC this week was a hell of a race. I didn't see race 1 and race 3 was kinda ehh.

Race 3 was basically Shedden and Neal wait for Tordoff's tires to fall off then just blow right past him.

Got around to watching WTCC from this weekend, race 1 was pretty dull but race 2 was great. Last 3 laps especially. It's looking like a solid season so far as seemingly every manufacturer has the pace to compete at the front.

Lot of series streams happening today.

Formula E is now streaming on Daily Motion for US people and on Youtube for everyone else. Race is in about 3 hours.
TCR qualifying in Estoril will be on Youtube from 4:40pm BST.
And Blancpain is streaming all their sessions from Monza this weekend as well.

No Formula E race next month. Moscow fell to political in-fighting, Donington is booked and Monaco has said they couldn't have the course ready in time. There's apparently doubt over whether the GB Rally for WRC is going to happen either after the land owner raised the fees they're asking for to cover road damage.

Commentators are saying the shorter race means most drivers are probably gonna just push harder from the start and wreck their tires anyway so that sounds about right.

What is the point of a stream if it turns off when the race is on? "Watch the race on FS1" what if I don't have FS1? What then?

IMSA blacked out the app stream for non-US people after Daytona as far as I could tell. So they went from having one of the best streaming setups to the worst.
