TV News: Weekend USA TV Motorsports TV Ratings

The only major motorsports TV broadcast TV Rating this past weekend was the F1 Belgian GP from Spa Francorchamps, won by Lewis Hamilton after George Russell was disqualified.

There was an NHRA event in Sonoma, but we have no TV data for that

TV Rating Analysis

The Belgian GP on ESPN drew 1.1M average viewers, down 5.98% from 1.170M last year, also on ESPN. Not terribly bad given it is summer vacation season on a cable channel on a Sunday morning.

It was the second most-watched Belgian GP on record (behind 2023)

The broadcast peaked at 1.2M 10:15-10:30am ET
