History

Following in the footsteps of its French equivalent, which launched in September 2000, the British arm of Motors TV began broadcasting in March 2001. Since then it has grown in both viewership and series featured, adding premier international events such as the World Rally Championship, Bathurst 1000, Petit Le Mans and Daytona 24 Hours.

Throughout its existence the channel has featured a wide variety of car racing, including single-seaters, touring cars, prototypes, GTs and rally competition. More recently it has shown an increased commitment to motorcycle racing, adding live coverage of the Spanish and Italian championships to its schedules in 2011. In addition to circuit competitions it has also established itself as the home of motocross, with the World MX Championships, America's AMA Motocross and several supercross series now screening live on the channel.
