The FIA World Endurance Championship has boosted its broadcast coverage In Germany for the 2024 season thanks to a new contract with Sport1.
Free-to-air channel Sport1 will show at least two hours live from each race (except Le Mans), as well as an onsite reporter at each round of the 2024 season to bring extra insights for fans watching at home.
The 24 Hours of Le Mans – round four of FIA WEC – will benefit from a special double broadcast in Germany, on both Eurosport 1 and RTL Nitro.

The 2024 WEC season is set to be the biggest yet with 14 global manufacturers represented in the Hypercar and new-for-2024 LMGT3 category. The eight-round World Championship will visit five regions in 2024 with races in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, North America and South America.
