Tin-tops clinch new TV contract
Fans of the Hi-Q British Touring Car Championship are in for a TV treat.
Organisers of the ultra-competitive tin-top series have secured a three-year deal with ITV to cover all the action. Viewers can catch nearly 80 hours of
racing, and eight of the 10 meetings this year will be broadcast live on ITV4. As well as live coverage, there will be hour-long
highlights screened on ITV1 after each race weekend. The live coverage begins
on 30 March, with the season opener at Brands Hatch, Kent.
