Well The new GP masters series will be shown in the UK. Its first race is suday from kyalami. It can be watched on the BBC, on a delay in this case.

More importantly and the biggest reason i plan to tune in. Murray Walker makes his return to the commentary booth for the series ;D ;D
more info here:

The US fans can see highlights on ESPN no idea what time though, not sure if you'll get the voice of motor racing aswell.

Really excited about this series, getting to see Nigel Mansell behind the wheel again, going up against the other legends like Fittapaldi & Prost. The cars will be alot like the mid 90's F1 cars, minimal driving aids. pleanty of power.

Prost is a no-show as he couldn't test the car beforehand. Mansell sent him a rather cheeky message about his lack of backbone ;D I'm looking forward to seeing Big Nigel back in action 8)

To be fair he is 82.:) I was more worried about the walker curse the moment he said Mansell will win if they dont take each other out. half a lap later, Fittapaldi almost goes flying into Nigel. hand smacking forehead. ;D
