Eurosport has snatched another of Setanta’s properties following the collapse of the Irish broadcaster, landing the GP2 series for the next two and a half years.

Six rounds remain in the 2009 season of the Formula One feeder series.

“We are delighted to have this prestigious and exciting series back on British Eurosport and to be able to ensure that fans can see the rest of this season’s races,“ said Dave Kerr, director of British Eurosport. “It’s great to add GP2 to our already superb line-up of motorsport, which includes the World Touring Car Championship, World Rally Championship, Formula 2, Dakar Rally, the Renault World Series and the IRC.“

Eurosport has acquired a number of rights which became available on Setanta’s collapse, including last Friday’s Golden League athletics meeting in Oslo and US PGA Tour golf.
