ESPN extends IndyCar TV rights in Germany

Sport1 GmbH extended its comprehensive rights package from ESPN Media Distribution through the '17-18 season. The package for pay-TV channel Sport1 US includes the broadcast rights to NCAA College Football and College Basketball as well as the Verizon IndyCar Series. ESPN distributes Verizon IndyCar races to many other countries, however, IndyCar is clueless as to what its global TV numbers are. Completely clueless to data that would help teams sell sponsorship.
