With Speed TV switching over to Fox Sports 1, there’s been a fear among auto enthusiasts that we would be losing out on an easily accessible source for motorsports. A freshly inked agreement between IMSA and Fox, though, should put minds at ease. The deal, which was announced today will see the new United SportsCar Racing come to the new channel. United SportsCar Racing is the entity that emerged from the merger of the Grand-Am Series and American Le Mans Series.
Fox will score the entire USCR and Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge seasons for 2014 through 2018. That five-year window will guarantee American enthusiasts access to some of the best endurance racing around. This will be in addition to Fox’s NASCAR coverage, which will air on Fox Sports and Fox Sports 1 (Fox is splitting its coverage of NASCAR with NBC, starting in 2014). Fox hasn’t mentioned which networks USCR will air on, nor how much it shelled out for the exclusive rights.
As IMSA still hasn’t finalized the schedule for the inaugural USCR season, it’s not entirely clear when the races will air and on which network. The press release, which you can view below, also doesn’t mention whether Fox will be airing the 24 Hours of Le Mans.Continue reading Combined ALMS/Grand-Am series books TV deal to air entire season on Fox Sports
