rattle can man Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Does anyone know what network will broadcast WEC races this year?
rattle can man Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 I tried google, duck duck go, and Norton search engines. All I get is listings for 2024 or other countries, even when I use 2025 in the search.

rattle can man Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 Thanks stitchedup, but that was 2024. 2024 was available on Max. at this point, I am assuming no change, but the lack of finding anything on the 2025 season has me questioning it. My last resort is YouTube. they will carry the series, but I don't need another subscription.

rattle can man Posted January 21 Author Posted January 21 I hate to say it again, but that link is from 2022. last year only max carried WEC. Peacock/ NBC carries IMSA, which is US equivalent of WEC.

It was shut down and absorbed into Discovery TV, which doesn't carry all of the racing that MT used to carry. And even MT stopped carrying race series for the ones I wanted to watch. DTM and BTCC. Hence why I cancelled my sub.

The last I saw, and I can't find the info now, is that the WEC 2025 season will be available on the Motor Trend channel and streaming on Max.
rattle can man Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 Rob, that is what I was assuming. I just wanted to find confirmation. If it is somewhere else, I need to look at what my options are. With Indycar shifting to FOX, I need to get my racing fix somewhere. And I gave up on NASCAR years ago, when they started the whole "play-off" scenario and all of the cars were the same shape with different paint/ decals.
stinkybritches Posted February 22 Posted February 22 According to the Max app, the WEC round at Qatar is scheduled to air at 5:30 am Eastern time on Feb. 28.
rattle can man Posted February 23 Author Posted February 23 Thanks Rob! I don't have the App. I just get the channel through a certain streaming service.
rattle can man Posted February 24 Author Posted February 24 WEC does make it hard to catch all of the races using their app. And I used their contact email and they pretty much said not all races could be viewed in the US, even though it appears MAX will carry them all.
