Kick off for the Sunday matches was 5pm UK time, however coverage usually starts 30 mins earlier. BTCC coverage is normally scheduled to finish 5.30pm. That means the 3rd race would clash with the first half.
Where the kick-off times known when the BTCC calendar was being decided? If not then TOCA couldn't take the chance that it was going to be a later evening game.
I'm not trying to defend the decision, far from it. Personally I have no interest in football of any sort. The simple truth is that if you want the BTCC to get live coverage then this is the price you have to pay.
