GP of Lousiana on BT Sport Extra

Some news on the upcoming race shortly but first up, the GP of St Petersburg had the highest rating on UK TV for a non Indy 500 race since the switch from Sky Sports in 2013. The average was 19k, with a peak of 37k, considering the race had less than 5k last year, this represents some huge growth for Indycar in the UK.

So onto the next race and the first visit to NOLA for the GP of Louisiana, will be on BT Sport Extra at 8pm, their 'Red Button' channel. On the three main channels they have live WTA Tennis, NBA Basketball, Moto GP and Serie A Football, all of which get higher ratings and ones they paid a lot more for! The coverage is also available on the Online Player for those registered to use the service.

For those who can't watch live, the red button channel can not be recorded, but the race is repeated on ESPN a number of times throughout the week, this first being Monday 13th April at 4pm.
