4K broadcasting of auto races?
Not modeling related, but does anybody have a guess as to when we might start getting 4K broadcasts of F-1 or other series? I just bought my first 4K UHD TV, and it seems like the sporting world needs to get up to speed (pun intended).

Re: 4K broadcasting of auto races?
The drive to survive series is in 4k. In the UK, they show F1 races in 4k I believe.
I think we will start seeing races in 4k soon in the US. With FuboTV, I was able to see some 4k soccer games last year, but that has dried up a bit this year. Some NFL games and college football games are in 4k as well.
The big issue for a while was 4k compatible devices. I've had a 4k TV since 2015, but many didn't, and even then didn't have a 4k streaming device or set top box. Thats changing rapidly, so there is more of a reason to broadcast that.
