ITV4 to broadcast GP2 this season

The GP2 Series will be broadcast live on terrestrial British television for the first time this season, starting with the opening round at Barcelona next weekend.

ITV4 have agreed to screen the Formula One support races throughout year, putting an end to satellite channel British Eurosport's coverage of the championship.

GP2 boss Bruno Michel said: "It's great news for our fans that races will be shown live in such an important market as Britain."

The programme will be presented by Charlie Webster.
