Expanded live TV coverage for F2 in 2010
Eurosport to screen every Formula Two race live across Europe
The FIA Formula Two Championship will enjoy expanded live TV
coverage during the 2010 season as every race is scheduled to be
broadcast live by Eurosport, with the vast majority in 16:9 and
high definition.
All 18 F2 races will be broadcast live on Eurosport
International and Eurosport 2, and either live or delayed-live on
both British Eurosport and Eurosport Asia-Pacific.
Live coverage of the season will get underway with a major
standalone event on the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit. The
remaining eight events will accompany the FIA World Touring Car
Championship, and F2 will be broadcast as part of the same
programme and production as the WTCC, reaching a huge audience.
Eurosport has a network that reaches 59 countries and 139
million homes in Europe and 10 countries in the Asia-Pacific
region. Last year more than three million people on average watched
Eurosport's live coverage of F2 races. With more races screened
live in 2010 and a greater number of events, this figure is set to
be increased.
Eurosport Events will again organise live streaming of every F2
race on both Eurosport/Yahoo and the official F2 website, with free
access. Full broadcast scheduling from Eurosport International,
British Eurosport and Eurosport Asia-Pacific will be published
ahead of the new season.
