Grosjean has an IndyCar seat, he'll be doing road and street courses but not the ovals:

I was completely expecting that to be for the Ed Carpenter team but I was wrong

Heads up on Formula E, back this Friday and Saturday on Eurosport and BBC Red button (channel 981 if you want to record it)

Organised chaos again, and Bird keeps the streak alive

Anyone know if it's possible to record the Extreme E races tomorrow? Showing on iPlayer 07:00-08:30 BST & 11:00-13:00 BST

It will be on the red button too so on most platforms I think that has a channel number you could set a recording on. e.g. on Sky it's 981. However it looks like on there only the first of those sessions is live, and the second is shown delayed (14:30 - 16:30 according to the guide.) Also SD only just to note.

For what it's worth as well as BBC Red Button it's also being shown on Sky Sports Mix (and Action, but Mix is available to all Sky subscribers), Eurosport, BT Sport and YouTube (which I think you'd be able to play back "as live" later.) ITV are also showing the last hour of the second session.

If you’ve got Sky+ yes, just record it off BBC RB1 channel 981

Edit —- what he wrote

[mnementh]

Thanks both

[T4V]

Well the Crazy “Race” is anything but, it’s just a Sprint to the first corner then a queue in the dust... it’s not working so far

Edit - I think I’m in the semi-final not the crazy race, although I imagine They’ll all be much the same

Edit 2 - yep

[Fatbloke]

Other biomes will have different challenges, but yes, first corner to win in this one.

When's the final?

About 20 minutes later, keep winding on through all the waffle

[T4V]

Just a quick heads up, Indycar starts this weekend on SkyF1, Practice 2(don’t know what happened to 1) at 7:40pm Saturday, Qualifying 10:55pm Saturday and the race 8pm Sunday

[T4V]

It also seems that the YouTube channel The Race is going to be broadcasting the Indylights season as they’ve just posted links to the first two races for this weekend
