Interestingly, at http://www.indycar.com/multimedia/tv.php it says "Pan-regional highlights are available on Eurosport, the most widely-distributed sports network in Europe" , but I've seen no other reference to Eurosport having coverage. Anyone know anything more than this?

Presumably that's the non-UK rights, as I think Channel 5 own the rights to highlights in the UK.

tv listings suggest it isn't on Five within 7 days of the race. Radiotimes.com at the moment doesn't go any further ahead than that.

If its the same as in previous years, around 4.30am on the Wednesday following the race...

Live races will surely be on Sky Sports. Not sure re CC finale at Long Beach though. As for Five - no idea so far.
