Motors TV Weekend Highlights

This weekend on Motors TV

Were gearing up for another bumper bank holiday weekend of live action on the High Speed Television Channel, with something to cater for everyone's motorsport tastes.

Topping the bill is the FIA World Endurance Championship which contests its second round at Belgium's iconic Spa-Francorchamps. The traditional warm-up for June's Le Mans 24 Hours, the event will see Toyota debut their new LMP1 challenger with the hope of clawing back the gap to Audi, who dominated the season-opening Silverstone event.

Shortly after the chequered flag drops at Spa we're heading Stateside for the NASCARNationwide Series' trip to Talladega Superspeedway. We'll be live at the Alabama venue for round eight of the campaign with Sam Hornish and Regan Smith separated by just one point atop the standings. We've also all three FIA European Formula 3 races live from German Grand Prix venue Hockenheim where Italian hotshoe Raffaele Marciello will be looking to extend his points advantage over Felix Rosenqvist.

Sunday sees two-wheeled action take centre stage with full live coverage of the FIM MX World Championship's Portuguese Grand Prix. Tony Cairoli leads the standings in the top-tier MX1 class, though that has become one of lifes absolute certainties in recent years. Can anyone halt the Italians march to a fifth successive world title?

And last but by no means least, bank holiday Monday will see the third Motors TV Live Raceday of the season at Castle Combe. The Wiltshire venue will host everything from Historic Grand Prix machinery to Citrons cult-classic 2CV in a showcase of Britains best club motorsport.
