SIRIUS XM Radio will provide listeners from coast to coast with unparalleled coverage of the world’s greatest auto racing series with live coverage of every NASCAR race, every IndyCar Series race, every Formula 1 race and every American Le Mans Series race.
Recently, SIRIUS XM announced that all IndyCar(R), Formula 1(TM) and American Le Mans Series races will be available to both SIRIUS and XM listeners in 2009, joining NASCAR races, which have been available to both SIRIUS subscribers and XM subscribers since October, 2008. With IndyCar(R) season kicking off earlier this month, all four seasons are now in full swing and are available to both SIRIUS and XM listeners.
SIRIUS XM Radio is the only media outlet to air every event from all four of these auto racing series, giving motorsports fans around the country access to the world’s best racing on oval tracks, road course tracks and street circuits.
Racing fans can tune in to hear every American Le Mans Series race
of the season on SIRIUS channel 126 and XM channel 242. Both channels
are available with the SIRIUS and XM subscriptions. The American Le
Mans Series is North America’s premier sports car series, featuring
high-tech cars from the most prestigious automobile manufacturers in
the world — including Acura, Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Mazda, Porsche,
Corvette, Ferrari and Panoz — competing in a combination of endurance
and sprint races on road racing tracks as well as street circuits in
major urban markets. Races feature exotic, open-top prototypes and
sophisticated production-based Grand Touring (GT) cars all competing on
the track at the same time. For more info visit www.xmradio.com/alms.
As the exclusive North American radio broadcaster of all Formula
One(TM) (F1) races, SIRIUS XM will carry the entire 2009 calendar of
races live from the Australian Grand Prix on March 29 through the Abu
Dhabi Grand Prix on November 1. Multiple replays will follow the live
broadcast. F1(TM) races air nationwide on SIRIUS channel 126 and XM
channel 242. Both channels are available with the SIRIUS and XM
subscriptions. The FIA Formula 1 World Championship(TM) season of 17
races, known as Grands Prix, is run on road course circuits, and in a
few cases on closed city streets, around the globe. The results of each
race are combined to determine two annual World Championships, one for
drivers and one for constructors (teams).
SIRIUS XM’s coverage also features an exclusive F1(TM) pre-race
show hosted by veteran auto racing journalist Adam Cooper. The SIRIUS
Formula 1(TM) Pre-Race Show will lead in to every Grand Prix race,
offering listeners the latest team news and information, a recap of
qualifying results, driver interviews and an in-depth examination of
that weekend’s circuit. More info can be found at www.sirius.com/f1.
SIRIUS XM’s motorsports schedule is a feature of the extensive
European sports programming the satellite radio broadcaster offers.
