WRC Rally Mexico/Clipsal 500/NSCS Vegas
This weekend see's a triple-header of motorsport madness as the WRC heads to Mexico, NASCAR going to Vegas for the first round of the #NASCAR#GoesWest series and the return of the V8 Supercars for the Clipsal 500.
As usual all of these events are on TV with the WRC event spread across 3 channels, aka BT Sport, Channel 5 and Motors TV. The later should hopefully be back soon on the Sky EPG however until it comes back then casual viewers of WRC will probably head for the 52 minute rally highlights on Channel 5. Due to the time difference, the first highlights showing will be at 9am in the morning so this may be one of the lower rated rallies this year.
Another thing I noticed and readers will find this interesting is that it appears Motors TV will not be showing V8 Supercars this year, normally Motors would show most races as-live in the afternoon however the schedules show no V8 Supercars at all, (not even highlights) so it looks like BT Sport has exclusive rights to the series this year which means another series off FTA TV.
Still, there is a hell load of action and the positive out of this is that all the live WRC Stages and V8 Supercars is on BT Sport 1 which means all live action is available to BT Lite customers, Below is the schedule you need for the racing action this weekend:
