Open Access 3 have NASCAR rights in the UK - Sky only.

Thats shows you how much Nascar was watched.

There is not much motor sports that gets people jumping up and down to watch it.

Indy Car - I give you that one, I think its one if not the best motor sports on 4 wheels at the moment.
F1 would rather watch paint dry - its the new Nascar
Nascar - after time its gets boring and very late nights early mornings.
WTCC - I'm sure this was on Grandstand, then ITV1, moved to ITV4 does it sit on motorsports channel now?
Moto GP - agree its good.

So Indy Car and Moto GP are must have sports but all have long term deals with current broadcasters.

Remeber ESPN have not being in the UK for a year yet and already they have a good size lineup.

You can say Golf(Rights bought up by Sky since Setanta crash), Motor Sports, Cricket (Mainly Sky and ITV4 viewing of the Prem League "that says it all") are all missing from there lineup.

They only have one UK channel with ESPN Americia manily for US sports and Classic
