British Touring Car Championship Plans To Crash American TV
British Touring Car Championship Plans To Crash American TV-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:45

The British Touring Car Championship is beyond rowdy: fact. There's not a lot of mechanical sympathy in the BTCC, that's for sure. Only problem: we don't get it on television. That's about to change.

The CBS Sports Network plans to broadcast hour-long highlights of each BTCC race on Wednesdays ten days after each event as part of its Torque.TV block, starting this year. Don't have a TV? The highlights will be up on online as well.

Torque.TV is about the closest thing to classic Speedvision in existence, as it was started by a bunch of the original folks behind Speedvision itself. They're featuring not only current series that other networks aren't hosting as well as a lot of racing history docs. So, it's a natural home for something like BTCC.

How nutty is the BTCC? There's a reason why Top Gear brings out BTCC drivers whenever they want to smash things up:

Here's a good sampling of the insanity BTCC brings to the track:

This is going to be good.

Kimi Räikkönen Asks Politely For A Blue Flag At The Monaco Grand Prix
Just kidding! Ferrari’s Kimi Räikkönen asked where the blue flags were as he picked his way through backmarkers in his best Kimi-ese, earning him a nice bleep from the television censors. Never change, Kimi. Never change. Shortly after this, Max Verstappen’s Toro Rosso car terrifyingly ensuring that there wouldn’t be...

Racers Crash On First Lap Of Indianapolis 500, Then Crash Under Yellow
It’s one thing to start the Indianapolis 500 with a crash near the back of the field. It’s another thing to have another crash under yellow further delay green laps of racing. Oops. So, effectively, the race really got to start from a single-file yellow-flag conga line, not so much...
