Formula E remains in the far east for the second leg of its Asian tour, as the championship heads to China for the Sanya E-Prix.
After its one-off appearance on BBC Two last time out in Hong Kong, the series returns to BBC’s Red Button on Saturday, with World Feed only coverage returning. As always, Vernon Kay and Nicki Shields preside over proceedings, with Bob Varsha, Jack Nicholls, and Dario Franchitti in the commentary box.
On the radio side, Tom Gaymor, Claire Cottingham and Marc Priestley will commentate on the action for Formula E Radio as well as BBC 5 Live Sports Extra.
Over in the west, the Circuit of the Americas plays host the IndyCar Series. Barring any technical difficulties, the race itself will run without commercials for UK viewers on Sky Sports F1, a stark contrast to the first race in St Petersburg when the UK programme followed the same ad-break pattern as their US counterparts.

Why is Sky Sports F1 doing IndyCar without adverts I wonder, it is great but what will happen when the US goes to adverts?
that a very good question there Tom, how about asking Sky Sports F1 themshevles
I’ve heard that NBC’s commentators will continue talking through the ad-break for international viewers.
Because it’s not that easy to find out how to contact Sky!
