Changes set for WEC TV line-up

FIA World Endurance Championship broadcaster John Hindhaugh will step back from the English language TV airwaves as the series makes changes to its announcing team. Although the new TV roster has yet to be confirmed, triple Le Mans winner Allan McNish is said to be in the frame for a new role with the WEC, and it's unclear whether Hindhaugh's longstanding commentary partner Graham Goodwin will continue in the TV booth.

"I've thoroughly enjoyed working on the WEC TV project and I've really learned a lot about broadcasting in my years there," said Hindhaugh. "It takes a huge team effort to produce the live race coverage and the highlights shows. I'll miss being part of that team. They are all professionals and passionate about racing and what they produce."

Hindhaugh will return to a familiar role with WEC radio commentary provided through Radio Show Limited, the company behind Radio Le Mans.

"Thankfully the busy endurance racing schedule has only a couple of clashes so that means that for most of the WEC events I will be joining the established team providing live commentary for RSL radio," he added.

"For the WEC events I'm covering for the RSL radio service, we'll be adding live audio coverage of qualifying to the regular full race broadcast."

The WEC season opens at Silverstone on April 16.
