The BTCC on ITV1

ITV, the UK’s largest commercial terrestrial channel, will continue its live Sunday afternoon coverage of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship in 2007.

This will be the fifth consecutive year that ITV1 has committed to broadcasting the BTCC, the country’s premier motor racing championship.

In addition to their Formula 1 duties for ITV, Louise Goodman and Ted Kravitz will host the channel’s BTCC coverage for the first time. Ben Edwards and former BTCC champion Tim Harvey will continue as race commentators.

The second half of the 2007 season will be shown live on ITV1 with the opening five race meetings shown live on a prime ITV digital channel (ITV2, 3 or 4), with comprehensive highlights on ITV1.

All ten race fixtures will also receive highlights coverage on ITV’s Men & Motors channel (Freeview/cable/satellite). Furthermore, each race day – including the BTCC’s support championships – will be shown live on independent sports channel Setanta Sports (subscription cable/satellite).
