TV Guide: Monster motorsport weekend

By Thomas Miles

Date posted: July 4, 2024

This weekend is an unmissable monster weekend of motorsport, with all the big categories from Supercars, F1 and NASCAR on show plus both pay and free to air TV broadcasts.

The Supercars season steps up with the return of long-format street racing with the 15th anniversary of the Townsville 500.

A former ruler of the Townsville streets, Shane van Gisbergen is over in Chicago hoping to repeat his rookie heroics from last year in both the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series.

Also in America are trans-Tasman heroes Will Power, Scott McLaughlin, Scott Dixon and Marcus Armstrong in the IndyCar, which is at Mid-Ohio where the new hybrid power units will be rolled out.

Their exploits provide the perfect breakfast viewing before the Supercars take the spotlight all day.

When too much motorsport is never enough, the iconic British Grand Prix is taking place at the home of the first Formula 1 race, Silverstone, while also in primetime will be three Aussies in Formula 3.

At the same time flying around the Sachsenring will be the MotoGP stars on two wheels.

Below is a guide to when each category is racing and how to watch it… enjoy the racing!
