There is plenty of motorsport action on TV this weekend, while the F1 championship is covered on terrestrial TV, the up and coming drivers serving their apprenticeship in the GP2 series are  generally overlooked.

Many of today’s F1 drivers have made the step up from the ‘feeder’ series of GP2, in fact eleven of the current Formula 1 grid have previously raced in GP2.

Former GP2 champions include Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Timo Glock and last years winner Nico Hulkenberg who joined the Williams team for his debut F1 season.

In turn the newly formed GP3 is considered a ‘feeder’ for Gp2, and the new series launches this weekend for the first time ever at Barcelona.

British Eurosport will broadcast both races from GP2 and GP3, with LIVE coverage from each series.

Saturday 8 May
1830-1930 GP2 race one on British Eurosport 2

Sunday 9 May
0800-0830 GP3 race one on British Eurosport
0830-0900 LIVE GP3 race two on British Eurosport
0935-1025 LIVE GP2 race two on British Eurosport
1930-2000 GP3 race two on British Eurosport

For fans of the often more exciting two wheeled action, the fifth round of the 2010 World Superbike Championship comes from the Monza track in Italy.

Following two all British podiums in the last round at Assen, UK fans will not want to miss out on this one. British Eurosport coverage starts on Saturday with Superpole and live action from the Superstock 600 series.

Both World Superbike races will be broadcast from start to finish on Sunday. Joining Eurosport presenter Tony Carter in the WSB studio will be former rider James Haydon and current BSB series leader Tommy Hill, while commentary will come from Jack Burnicle and James Whitham.
