Formula E has confirmed that the Hankook London E-Prix, the final two rounds of this year’s Formula E World Championship will be available free-to-air.
- Warner Bros Discovery making the events available on Quest.
- Coverage on 20th and 21st July 2024.
- Also covered by TNT Sports
With just two races left of the season, only 12 points separate Jaguar TCS Racing’s Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy, and TAG Heuer Porsche’s Pascal Wehrlein at the top of the standings. Seven drivers are mathematically in with a chance of claiming the championship trophy.
With this in mind, Formula E and Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) will be making the last two rounds available free-to-air, in addition to coverage on TNT Sports.
Viewers will be able to watch the climax of Season 10 on Quest in the following places:
- Freeview – channel 12,
- Freesat – channel 167 (HD),
- Virgin Media O2 – channel 137 (HD)
- Sky satellite – channel 144 (HD)
- Sky Glass/Stream – channel 149 (HD – UK) / 145 (HD – ROI)
- Freely (+aerial) – channel 17
It’s the first notable live sports coverage on Quest for some time, with some free-to-air sports, such as snooker, going out on sister channel DMAX instead. Unlike DMAX, Quest is widely available in HD on Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat.
