Croft is rumoured to be 1 of the candidates for the TV commentary alongside Jonathan Legard and Ben Edwards, and I should think if he doesn't get it will be back on the radio

That would be fuckin' awesome

I think I won't be at home, it's my grandparents birthday

What about radio 5Live? They'll need someone for that

Looking forward to this one. Hopefully Seat won't dominate but at the same time it would be nice to see the title go down to the wire.

When I said F1 on the BBC I was including 5Live in that.

Looking forward to the races at Silverstone. Dont think we will see the title go down to the wire though, as I reckon Gio will clinch it this weekend, but hey.

Damn too bad there is a clach with the Formula Superleague at Donington. Dunno what series I will watch on TV.

I really want to see the 1st racing weekend of the Superleague Formula but BTCC is always exciting... Difficult choice.

Happy to see you here guy

Would be cool if you could record the Superleague as doubt many people here will be able to recieve it. Think the 1st Superleague race is before BTCC coverage starts, not sure what the 2nd race will clash with.

First post updated with all the weekend info.

I don't really understand the logic here...GP2 ran on F1 weekend and since 2004 I think it is they've never clashed so GP2 dissapearing isn't going to effect BTCC coverage...

Though if ITV start shedding all motorsport now they've lost the F1, who knows if we'll ever get as good coverage again...

Logic being they would put effort into it as it would be the only motorsport series on the channel. Maybe not the best logic knowing ITV though.

They gave up the F1 in favour of getting more football so I'd expect them to focus on that from next year and drop off all the motor racing shows.

Sad to say it but I think the BTCC had better look for a new home.
(Although the BTCC contract runs until the end of 2009 IIRC...lets hope there isn't any get-out clauses!)

I've read elsewhere that BTCC might be paying to be on ITV, in which case there's a good chance it'll stay as it's making ITV money. I not sure it'll ever get back to being on ITV1, but as the digital switchover continues, being on ITV4 will be less and less of a problem, and at the mo ITV is definately positioning ITV4 as its sport channel.

More concerning is that we know James Allen is definately out of a job next year, and Ben Edwards might be working for the BBC....

Actually I think JA doing the commentary would be hilarious. And we wouldn't have to worry about him being biased

What about John Hindhaugh? He's stepped in for Ben Edwards at a couple of rounds this season and done a good job.

Let's face it, if JA is definitely not going to the BBC, which is likely after the "insider" posted the info over at DigitalSpy, ITV will probably have to give him something to do because he's likely to still be under contract with them

Gah! Couldn't stand to have that drivelling retard commentating BTCC

Would be awful.

James has worked in F1 for so long that maybe (and hopefully) he decides if he can't have F1 he might as well have nothing.
