Motors TV Weekend Highlights January 22,24

A great line-up of racing for you this weekend on the High Speed Television Channel.

For those of you craving an icy fix, we’re heading to Lans-en-Vercors for the fifth instalment of the Andros Trophy. Need to refresh your memory? Well, Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Dubourg took victory last time out in Isola 2000 and currently leads the Elite Pro standings ahead of his compatriot, Franck Lagorce. Tune in to catch the world’s best ice racers battle it out in the snow, whilst marvelling at the stunning Alpine scenery.

And as if that wasn’t enough we’ve got more sideways action from the 2016 FIA World Rally Championship season-opener, the Monte-Carlo Rally. Title-holder Sebastien Ogier will be back behind the wheel of his seemingly unstoppable Volkswagen Polo R WRC with co-driver Julien Ingrassia, both of whom will be aiming to defend their championship crown for yet another year. But with fire in everyone’s bellies burning to take it away from them, our money’s on an exciting start to the season when battle commences in Monaco. As usual, we’ll be showing daily highlights on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Once a year, all the big names in motorsport converge in Birmingham for the Autosport International Show. It’s a pretty big deal, so we’re bringing you the best on-stage interviews and all the latest gossip ahead of the 2016 season. Don’t worry - it’ll be here before you know it.For a slight change in pace, why not try out some two-wheeled action courtesy of the Road Racing Series? This time we’re reliving the jaw-dropping North West 200, which sees the nuttiest bikers in the world wrestle some insanely powerful machines around public roads in the North West of Ireland. Trust us, when you’re travelling on board with Bruce Anstey on the approach to University Corner, you’ll see what we mean…Ah, V8 Supercars. The countdown to the new season is already underway, so we’re heading Down Under to review the best bits from 2015. Contrary to his nickname, Mark ‘Frosty’ Winterbottom was on fire last year winning nine races en route to securing his first ever championship title. Relive the whole thing with our exciting highlights show.

And for any water babies out there, we’ve got superboats from all around the world this weekend in the form of NZ Jet Sprint, P1 Aquacross USA and P1 Superstock UK.
