In a television broadcast arrangement – the breadth of which has never been seen in UK motorsport – the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship will enjoy live free-to-air coverage on both ITV and ITV4 during the 2022 season.
Whilst ITV4 continues as the ‘home’ of the BTCC with its excellent all-day-live and free-to-air coverage of the UK’s premier motorsport series, both the Brands Hatch Indy (15 May) and Oulton Park (12 June) events will also be broadcast live on ITV for three hours on each race day.
This, in addition to the ITV4 live coverage, live streaming of each event on itv.com/btcc and the ITV Hub, as well as the highlights programmes shown on both ITV and ITV4 in the days after each event, sees the BTCC expand its already comprehensive coverage.
“I’m incredibly proud that, once again, the BTCC reaches new heights in our UK television broadcasting,” said Alan Gow, BTCC Chief Executive. “As I’ve said many times, our live and free-to-air broadcasts are the envy of the sport – so for the ITV Network to further evolve and increase their coverage of the BTCC once again underlines their tremendous enthusiasm for, and commitment to, our great championship.”
Broadcast scheduling times for both ITV and ITV4 will be published in due course.
