Hi
next month, i will going to the middle east, visiting abu dhabi and dubai. really looking forward to experiencing a new culture.
however, i will be missing the Chinese Grand Prix and the Malaysian GP as well as Moto GP in Jerez. What sort of coverage is there of these events in the countries?
Anyone who lives there/been in a simulation, i would greatley appreciate some advice :)
thanks :)

dunno about MotoGP , not a fan.

The commentary is English for MotoGP but Arabic for F1, so I’d suggest you bring a laptop and watch any GP’s that may be on at the time on a live feed, unless you speak Arabic of course!
AzraQ, do you know of a way of getting the F1 commentary in English? I’ve contacted OSN/Du but they are pretty hopeless, they didn’t seem to know what F1 was!

22nd March 2011, 13:54 at 1:54 pm #163851AndrewTannerParticipantOh and this reminds me…i’ll be in Portugal for the German GP. Is there anything in the way of coverage in Portugal for F1? ;) Hope you don’t mind me asking in your thread SovietWookie!
22nd March 2011, 20:05 at 8:05 pm #163852MattHTParticipantAccording to Wikipedia, The Portuguese sports broadcaster Sport TV will have all five sessions on live. It has 7 channels, but it’s subscription based, so find a sports bar and pray there’s no football on!
22nd March 2011, 22:30 at 10:30 pm #163853AndrewTannerParticipantTa boss. Now…to convince Nichola it’s a good idea!
25th March 2011, 16:46 at 4:46 pm #163854SovietWookieMemberok, thanks for that guys :)
looking forward to it even more, knowing i can watch the races :)
