With there being ever increasing motorsport series\u2019 and motoring programmes hitting our screens, MTOD offers a place where you can find them all hassle free. No more scrolling through your TV guide or finding a stream on the internet!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, high profile series such as <strong>Formula 1<\/strong> and <strong>Formula 2<\/strong> are shown on SKY TV in the UK. However, MTOD offers racing fans the opportunity to watch a plethora of racing series. These include the coveted <strong>European Le Mans Series<\/strong> (ELMS), the <strong>Pirelli World Challenge<\/strong> and the <strong>FIA Formula 3 European Championship<\/strong>, whose recent graduates include 19-year-old <strong>Red Bull Racing<\/strong> and Grand Prix winner <strong>Max Verstappen<\/strong> as well as <strong>Lance Stroll<\/strong>, who, at 18 embarks on his maiden Formula 1 season with <strong>Williams<\/strong>. These series have a large fan base but broadcast coverage of them is lapse.<\/p>\n<p>Also, included in the programming is <strong>Goodwood<\/strong> coverage,<strong> Virgin Australia Supercars<\/strong> and the <strong>Blancpain GT Championship<\/strong> which sees well-known names such as <strong>Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>, <strong>Maro Engel<\/strong> and<strong> Raffaele Marciello<\/strong> race. The top German touring car championship, <strong>DTM<\/strong>, where former F1 ace <strong>Paul di Resta<\/strong> along with names such as <strong>Timo Glock<\/strong> and <strong>Mattias Ekstr\u00f6m<\/strong> race <strong>Mercedes<\/strong>, <strong>BMW<\/strong> and <strong>Audi<\/strong> touring cars against each other is also broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>Having already been a huge success in America, MTOD launches across the UK and Europe to offer thousands of motoring fans live motorsport coverage as well as Motor Trend originals, including in-house documentaries and live exclusives.<\/p>\n<p>I sat down with Motor Trend\u2019s International Bureau Chief and SVP, <strong>Angus MacKenzie<\/strong> to talk more about this new service and what we can expect from it. One thing\u2019s for sure, it\u2019s hit the market at just the right time, with a millennial audience in decline, this could be the service that saves motoring and makes it more appealing to the younger generation.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XAUpJaMC4c4&amp;t=4s [\/youtube]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Labelled as the \u2018Netflix of Motoring\u2019, America\u2019s largest automotive subscription video service, Motor Trend On Demand, launched across the UK and Europe this week.
