Since becoming a Sky Sports subscriber in 2009, I and many others have always had this anxious wait as we approached the season opener for the Indycar season... So will Sky renew? Where can I watch the upcoming season? Now for the first time in many years I am happy to share the news broken by Mark Coyle (Head of Digital Production, BT Sport) that BT Sport will continue with their coverage of Indycar up to and including the 2015 season.
"Mark Coyle @markcoyle65 @f1broadcasting @gillw72 @IndyCar Been off on hols. We have the rest of this season then seasons 2014 & 2015."
It is fair to assume that the coverage will be split across the three channels (BTS1, BTS2 and ESPN) but this is great news for us fans in the UK that for once there is a known stable home of Indycar in the UK.
Checking the stats for visits to the website, I would estimate in the region of 80% of the search terms which have directed traffic to the website are related to TV coverage, where, when and how they can find it.

The important part you play as a fan is if you want to continue to see Indycar broadcast in the UK long term is to help it grow, and get more eyes watching. Talk about about, tweet about it, introduce a friend,
