2025 Touring Car Thread - BTCC, TCR, and more.Touring Cars 

First day of the pre-season test at Croft got underway today. Unsurprisingly the cars are significantly quicker already with them being lighter.


Max Hall could be one to watch...

(even if he is only driving a Cupra)
 
OK, that’s great for many but how about the US? What kind of TV deal is in place, does anyone know?

The Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship is delighted to announce its largest ever television deal in North America, after agreeing a multi-year contract which will see the championship broadcast on the giant CBS Sports Network (CBSSN) to 60+ million households across the US and Canada.

A one-hour BTCC highlights programme will be screened on CBSSN in a prime time (Eastern time) slot on Wednesdays – ten days after each event – and will then re-air during prime time (Pacific time) soon after. The 24-hour home of CBS Sports will broadcast the highlights programme as part of its ‘Torque.TV’ Block on Wednesday evenings.

The huge CBS Sports Network televises nearly 600 live events and over 3,000 hours of live programming every year.

Furthermore, www.Torque.TV – North America’s new home for motorsports and high performance automotive lifestyle – will also carry each one-hour BTCC highlight programme for 90 days after each event via its VOD (Video On Demand) platform.
I thought it was broadcast on NBC Sports.

Anyway, seems like the same deal DirecTv had on SpeedVision when I watched way back in the early 2000s.

Wow just a 1 hour highlights package after the fact? That's bold to claim that as a TV deal, North America losing out in a big way to the rest of the world here it seems.
 
One Motorsport have revealed their livery for the season ahead, and I think it looks really good to be honest.

It's good to see Jelley back on the grid, but at the same time, good that he's not taking up a seat in a Bimmer.... instead we've got...
