for people outside the UK, how to follow the BTCC in TV ?? without Motors now
Hi guy's, a few questions...
Very sad to hear that Motors Tv won't show the races anymore, now i am looking to get ITV on my satellite but do they show a full race day with all support races?
And what about the BTCC coverage, is it good on ITV?
Is there more then one ITV channel because i don't know what channels you have (i'm from Belgium).
This is so sad, i really would give money to see all races on tv like i use too.
Is there any chance that they would change mind about this?
Regards from Belgium and remember, you really have the best touringcar championship in the world!!
ITV have 4 channels named ITV1, ITV2 etc.
This year (and next as far as Im aware) the BTCC is covered on the day it is run. Races 1 and 2 are shown as highlights with race 3 shown live in full (except for advert breaks). It is shown on ITV1. There is also a late night mid-week repeat, usually Tuesday I think. Thats it I'm afraid so far anyway, Alan may have something else up this sleeve tho
Thanks, hope that Alan knows a lot of Belgian people watch BTCC on Motors Tv...Quote:

It was more than just "sometimes" - It was every week for six months.

Technisat Multytenne
With this antenna you can receive channels from four different satellite's, Astra 1, 2,3 and Hotbird.
Now let's hope that they bring live coverage from all races...
hindy been in on motors tv forum and he said no one has got the rights to show live btcc yet and he fears that no one will sign the doted line but bbc have said thay are trying to get more motorsport on bbc
If your gonna post c##p then make sure its something thats not widely know to be fact!
http://www.btcc.net/html/tvtimetable.php
Sadly some people make it up as they go along, which then gets picked up by the unsuspecting and passed around as factual information...
...the BTCC remains on ITV1 for 2007.
That link doesn't tell you anything more than looking at the championship calendar would though :confused:Quote:

And its not and old page, as the 2007 calendar is right next to it
To be honest.... My opinion of ITV's commitment to motorsport is very low. As an ex-F1 fan, I have railed for years about too many ad-breaks during ITV's coverage of F1 races amongst other things. Losing Motors TV coverage is going to be a step backwards in terms of depth of coverage, Forget anything except the bare essentials, couple with a lot of self ego stroking.
:(
I noticed further back in this thread some comments about real motorsport fans attending events.... fine as a theory if you work monday to friday.... many dont... something that should be remembered maybe?
