On the current BTCC format with 3 races and reverse grids etc..., qualifying is not as important as it is in F1 and for that reason I think there's less need to fiddle with it. What is lacking a bit is the Saturday. If you show up at a BTCC event, there's not enough racing on the Saturday and I think it might make more sense to have one or two races on the Saturday afternoon and 2 races on the Sunday afternoon. That would obviate the need for a continuous TV programme that started at 11am and finished at almost 6pm on the one day... instead it could be split into two short TV transmissions - on Saturday and Sunday. It would also mean that on track spectators could see one day at the circuit and one on TV. Just an idea.
