Motorsport on IPTV
Formula 1 from March to December, MotoGP, speedway on summer evenings and rally in the Nordic forests. Race times move with the calendar, and catch-up keeps up with them.
Formula 1 races in Europe usually start at 15:00 Nordic time; races in the Americas and Asia move to the evening, the night or the early morning. 4K needs at least 20 Mbit/s and a device that decodes it at 50 frames per second.
Formula 1
The Formula 1 season runs from March to December with around two dozen race weekends. Each has practice on Friday, qualifying on Saturday and the race on Sunday, plus sprint races on selected weekends.
European races usually start at 15:00 Nordic time. Races in the Middle East run in the evening, in Asia and Australia in the morning, and in the Americas in the evening or during the night.
Formula 1 in 4K
Formula 1 is one of the sports most often produced in 4K. To see it, everything in the chain has to manage: a 4K TV, a device that decodes 4K at 50 frames per second, and a line with room to spare.
| Quality | Minimum | Recommended | Typical setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| SD 480p | 3 Mbit/s | 5 Mbit/s | Phone on 4G |
| HD 720p | 5 Mbit/s | 8 Mbit/s | Phone on 5G |
| Full HD 1080p | 8 Mbit/s | 15 Mbit/s | Smart TV |

MotoGP
The MotoGP season runs from spring to autumn. European rounds start in the early afternoon Nordic time, and the Saturday sprint has made the weekend twice as busy as it used to be.
Speedway
Speedway is big in Sweden, Denmark and Poland. The Speedway Grand Prix runs from late spring to early autumn, mostly on Saturday evenings, alongside the national leagues on weekday evenings.
Rally
The World Rally Championship visits the Nordics twice: Rally Sweden in the snow in February and Rally Finland on gravel in the summer. Stages run all day, so live coverage comes in blocks with highlights between them.
