ITV.com will be showing live qualifying from BTCC finale at Brands Hatch. I think this is the first time ever that qualifying for the BTCC has been shown live and I'm glad they chose this meeting to do it!

I hope that if it is a success ITV will do it for all BTCC qualifying in the future.

I'm sorry, ITV, but the picture quality is simply awful. I've been watching the Commonweath Games from halfway round the world in superb quality with no breakup; Brands Hatch is 20 miles up the road and the Ginettas look they're made from blocks of Lego.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice that they're making the effort and it's certainly nice to see something other than numbers on a timing screen, but surely if it's worth airing they could bump Aces High and The Sweeney from the schedules?

Picture is fine for me. I think it must be a problem with your connection/computer. Absolutely fine here.

The picture seemed fine for me, perfectly viewable. I hope they do it again though if it becomes a regular feature they need a way of timing the cars on the screen, I was having to do split screen between the qualifying the TSL Live Timing (which was running 30 seconds ahead).

I'm surprised how well I've been able to watch quali and the Clios even on my little netbook.

Nothing wrong with my setup, I've been steaming commonwealth games fine and using the HD version of iPlayer. Decent enough pic on the laptop but blown up on a large screen you can really see the shortcomings.

Still, at least I got to see the session :up:
