I have zero hopes for live on YT, or even showing up on YT, at all. I expect it to be behind a pay wall.![]()
BTCC to air live in North America for the first time ever on RACER Network
The Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship will be aired live in the U.S. and Canada for the first time ever thanks to a new multi-year agreement with the RACER Network. All 30 races will be bro…racer.com
I can't tell if this means the races will be carried live on all of Racer's channels including Youtube or just live on the old MavTv channel and then later on Youtube.
Given that I don't have cable (never had - if I remember the former buzz word correctly, this was the whole cord cutter thing, just I never had to do itI see it listed on Racer (former Mavtv) channel Sunday 8:30am ct and again at 11:15 am. They also show it on the mavtvgo app (racer+) but that is behind a paywall for $19.99 a month. The DTM opener is also on live this weekend on TV and app at 6:15 am Sat and Sun.
Yeah, with the new ruleset the TC America grid became very small. As far as I can recall, it's actually a single class now with 25 minute races instead of 40. I liked the multiclass version better though. At least there's some interesting car mix with FWD (Hyundai, Acura), RWD (BMW) and AWD (GR Corolla) but nowhere near the TC France grid or the previous TC America lineup... I didn't realize that TC France has now JS2Rs, Ginettas plus your various FWD hot hatches.There was a TC race at COTA. Only had ten cars between the two classes(five Hyundais, an Acura and BMW in one class and three Toyotas in the other).
I found the BTCC YT stream using my Opera VPN and the DTM race is up on YT w/o having to do that. The Mavtvgo app is only good for watching archived races and other shows, anything current is $$$.Given that I don't have cable (never had - if I remember the former buzz word correctly, this was the whole cord cutter thing, just I never had to do it), only the app would be there but at 20 bucks for a month... yeah, won't be watching either series. I actually saw some DTM free practice on YT live today, that's at least something.
