Virgin Media's online schedule for the weekend is a bit messy, so while I assume the non-tagged sessions are on VMMore, I can't say for certain.

TheChrisD

WTF, first TNT took a break earlier in the race; now VM2 took a break during this second safety car and missed the restart?!?!

Lol sounds like a holy show a bit like Formula E. Honestly I tried. I loved it in the beginning but they went PPV way too early for it to have a decent fanbase and I don't see it around in 10 years time sadly. I don't any of the broadcasters care either because they know its not F1 and will not be around in maybe 5 years time never mind 10 years.

Ghost Train

Messing up the attack mode 🤦 and also the safety car with the attack mode. Not really a fan of this track but entertaining with the three leaders in the championship racing 1,2,3 out on the track

Seem to be more red flags than the average race.

Was a bit scrappy before Werlines car was put on it's side

Attack mode is really working now which is great to see.

Mal-Adjusted

I know they can't compromise with safety, but they really need to get the restarts sorted in a more timely manner.

Not to forget about this being on today…and I hope to get to watch some of the race. The AWD (quattro4 or whatever) is brilliant and how the cars accelerate. I'd love to give one a go!

WEEKEND SCHEDULE

Free Practice 1 10/01 23:00 - 23:40

Free Practice 2 11/01 13:30 - 14:10

Qualifying 11/01 15:40 - 17:03

Race 11/01 20:05 - 21:00

The overtakes in the race were pretty good. The attack mode with the extra power and AWD definitely gives that extra boost and grip to effectively overtake.

Thanks for that. Couldn't see what channels it was on!

Monaco double header weekend and there's good and bad news regarding TV coverage. Bad is that TNT Sports are showing the races on a digital channel which isn't included in the Now TV Sports extra package. The good news however is that Virgin Media are showing both races on their free to air channel VM Three.
