Someone mentioned on e of the digital ITV channels. Hopefully they might show the first 2 live on ITV4 or something then do the usual on ITV1. Please?

I would go mad if it was only on ITV4 because I only have terrestrial tv but if they showed it on both, then it would be good.

To be fair, if you've only got terrestrial then you're not missing out due to Motors' decision.

This is very bad news! I like watching all the support races aswell as the BTCC but I cant see ITV or any other channel showing all of these only the BTCC and ITV'S coverage last year wasn't that good only really showing one race live. It looks like I will have to go to more meetings next year so that I can watch the whole package!

Thats what most true Motor Racing entusiasts do!

It's awful news! This year I followed live about a third of the rounds on Motors TV and I watched the rest of them delayed or on the next day (often full-coverage replay). How am I supposed to know who's hot and who's not next year in BTCC without actually watching the races? Attending the meetings is quite frankly out of the question for me in 2007...

ITV4 is available on freeview - you can pickup freeview boxes for £20.

Personally (for this reasopn) I's be very pleased if wider BTCC / support coverage was available on ITV4 but I dont see it happening. ITV4 is not well known for its sports coverage - possibly because it doesnt normally do much...?

thats all very well for some, i did get to all but 3 rounds (knockhill, Silverstone and Mondello) a couple of years back, and still try to get to a round every year, but then i was single. when living with someone who is not a motorsport fan and having a less than a year old baby it makes it very difficult to afford/get to most meetings and there are a lot of us true motor racing enthusiasts for whom Motors TV coverage was a godsend.

i hope that the slack does get picked up by one of the ITV 2/3/4 chanles, that would seem to make sense

It would be a shame. I don't get to many BTCC meetings, so the Motors TV coverage was great, if a little shabby.

...Apart from WRC, Champions League and UEFA Cup football, and Boxing.

WHAT? (Throws temper tantrum)

The directors of Motors TV really are the biggest load of f***ing c***s ever.
