From the MN story it sounds like TOCA were looking for a Sat and/or Sun race but F2/F3/SuperCup already have that filled. It's Fri or nothing.
Agree with you though, I don't see it happening, and with zero TV coverage I don't see the point either.

Spectators are allowed onto the track post-GP - so no races at this point are possible. The other issue is that, based on recent, years the GP has a fairly busy timetable on the Friday, so I would imagine that any BTCC race would take place quite late in the evening (recent years have seen the Porsche Supercup qualifying end at about 18.30 - with VIP laps, etc following thereafter).
I can't imagine that the permanent support races would move their sessions to facilitate a BTCC race. So, like others, aside from the potential kudos of being able to tell people it is on the F1 bill; I don't see the benefits of a BTCC race at the GP.
