History[edit]

In 2013, ESPN gained the broadcast rights for IndyCar racing live from Sky Sports but on 1 August,[1] BT Sport was launched and they took control of ESPN.[2] BT showed three races in 2013 (Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio, Shell-Pennzoil Grand Prix of Houston Race 1 and MAVTV 500 IndyCar World Championships) then announced they would keep Indycar rights until 2015.[3] BT showed four races in 2014 (Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama, Indianapolis 500,[4] Firestone 600 and Pocono IndyCar 500). In January 2015, BT Sport extended rights of Indycar until 2022,[5] then ESPN was relaunched as BT Sport ESPN on 9 June 2015. In 2015, they showed nine races (Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana shown on BT Sport Extra due to other programming schedules, Firestone 600, Honda Indy Toronto, MAVTV 500, ABC Supply Wisconsin 250, Iowa Corn Indy 300, Honda Indy 200, ABC Supply 500 and GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma). Since 2016 all races shown on BT and had races with no adverts on green flag laps with pre race hosted by Keith Collantine and Ben Evans but they would host in the BT Sports studios in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London and uses the American commentary from either ABC or NBC on location.
