Following the collapse of UK pay-broadcaster Setanta, Eurosport has secured the UK rights for the GP2 series with coverage for the next two and a half years starting this weekend at the Nurburgring.

"We are delighted to have this prestigious and exciting series back on British Eurosport and to be able to ensure that fans can see the rest of this season's races," said Dave Kerr, director of British Eurosport.

"It's great to add GP2 to our already superb line-up of motorsport, which includes the World Touring Car Championship, World Rally Championship, Formula 2, Dakar Rally, the Renault World Series and the IRC."

GP2 returns to British Eurosport after a two year absence, previously it was broadcast by ITV, which also held the F1 rights until the end of the 2008 season.

The GP2 deal follows Eurosport's recent acquisition of US PGA Tour golf, another victim of the collapse of Setanta.
