Motors TV is a television channel dedicated to news, documentaries and coverage of motorsport and automobiles, and to a lesser extent motorbikes, boats, aircraft and models. It is available in many countries via satellite and cable, with audio in English, French and German.
[edit] Programmes
Motors TV reports on a number of race series including the Le Mans Series and the American Le Mans Series, the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM), Australian and New Zealand V8 Supercars, and the Champ Car World Series. Previously the channel has also shown the NASCAR Busch Series as well as the British Touring Car Championship and its supporting series.
In 2006 and 2007 Motors TV provided live coverage of the entire Le Mans 24 Hours as well as the scrutineering, qualifying and other events preceding it. With its coverage of the 2006 event, over the weekend of 17th and 18th June, Motors TV and German pay-TV network Premiere made history as the first television channels to provide coverage of the entire race.
