Gave it a miss due to illness, didn't fancy the cold, the rain or the wind the way I was feeling. Liking the race being live online (it gave a reading of over 17,000 viewers at one point) but would rather it be on a more accessible TV channel than Motors TV in the UK. Seems like you have to pay a small fortune to be able to get it on any TV package, and I have absolutely no desire to pay the extortionate amounts for a Sky subscription.
With another UK-based rant (involving plenty of wishful thinking), if ITV4 can be devoted to the BTCC package for a whole day, why can't BBC Three or Four be switched on earlier in the day just a small few times per year for six hours to cover something like WEC? Given that the ACO sort out their own TV feed with RLM commentary, they wouldn't need to take any cameras or people to the circuits. Admittedly difficult this weekend with the Chinese GP clash but does it really cost that much to implement?
