There was a fair degree of wailing about this on Infoscourse a while ago. I think the basic thrust of it - and the particular issue with the Istanbul round is that it coincides with BTCC and DTM rounds, and as such having six hours of coverage would be tricky.

While it is disappointing it's considerably better than nothing. That said, given that I think there's an almost 100% level of overlap between the LMS and the BTCC this year it could be that Motors is going to have difficulty covering everything it wants to.
