TNT Sport have taken over coverage rights from Channel 4 in the UK, bringing to an end 9 years of free-to-view racing. Tom Brooks, of GTWS fame, will become full-time lead commentator, after calling races in Rome and London last year. Joining him on the TNT team will be fan favourites such as Nicki Shields, Radzi Chinyanganya and Dario Franchitti, former drivers such as Karun Chandhok and Andre Lotterer and David Coulthard cause why not?

(and Jermaine Jenas, who nobody likes)

Awful decision to go PPV. And why they’ve chosen Jermaine Jenas I don’t know.
 
Its sad how Formula E has fallen off the last couple of years, as I type this their biggest race of the year is just finishing at Monaco and nobody seems to be watching or care. In the UK at least moving coverage to pay TV has nuked the audience and whilst I can't begrudge them firing Jack Nicholls (I'm not sure what the allegations were exactly but they must have been serious to fire the main man) losing Dario was a big blow too, what used to be a really fun commentary box now sounds more like a local radio station.

Fingers crossed the Gen3 Evo improves the racing for next year, if the cars really are less draggy it should get away from the pack racing we've seen so far and back closer to the good stuff we saw in Gen2.
