Ok guys, listen up................
It would appear that this news has reached the public domain before interested parties were ready to announce. This is in no way an official statement, but it is my understanding that coverage of the Le Mans Series and Le Mans itself will indeed switch from MotorsTV to Eurosport in 2008. We can only speculate as to the reasons, but I would suggest that along with increased manufacturer involvement in both the Le Mans Series and Le Mans itself, the cost of purchasing the rights to cover these events has also increased. And, to take that speculation one step further, the increase in cost may be such that is now beyond the reach of a small specialist motor racing channel such as MotorsTV.
On a personal level, I would like to thank Martin Haven, Mark Cole and all those at MotorsTV for their quite exceptional efforts to bring us what has been pioneering, unparalleled and groundbreaking coverage of Le Mans over the past two years, and for presenting the fans with the opportunity to watch 1000km Le Mans Series races live and in their entirety for the very first time. Thank you!
