This is 2018, stream the whole race day on Youtube / Facebook. Hire a British commentator for an international feed.

All Swedes + other international niche racing fans could see it live + see it afterwards.

Would surely make more sense for the sponsors than a TV channel no one has.

But perhaps there's a reason I don't run racing series and others do?
I am already happy with a Swedish stream.

They just need to do the same as the rest of the TCR series in Europe and try to be one step above them. And if other series stream their races (and qualifying) live for free on the internet with international commentators then STCC has to do it too, its a no-brainer in my mind. They need to reach as many as possible, to be able to create a big fanbase even outside of Sweden, so other teams and series knows whats going on in here. Look at TCR Germany, they attract entries from other European countries, look at the TCR UK, they stream races on internet and have entries from Sweden.
If STCC was aired live on Youtube or Facebook maybe Dan Lloyd could get some sponsors to do a one off to see how well he'd do against some real competition?

It really is baffling to me how badly run STCC is, year after year, some things change to the better, but many things also change to the worst. And to be honest, the TV coverage of STCC has never really been above average (rather quite far from average), but now we cant even watch it at all, which is just sad..
I don't know the Swedish TV landscape but this is a strange move from STCC. Manufacturers and sponsors cannot be happy.
Is the RallyX rallycross championship on the same channel?

Yes, but it was streamed for free last weekend in Arvika for some reason.

Edit: I think C More doesn't send the fist race live. It might start at 14:00, the question is will the stream be available by then?

They did. The race was okay, but - as often in Sweden - a difficult track for overtaking.

It appears like they will now post race videos for the past races. Not sure how close to the actual event they will become available online.

https://www.stcc.se/stcc-tv/

Don't know if it's geo blocked.

Any death is a tragedy and this is no different. RIP

Unfortunately TCR home page just completely ignored the incident saying only:
Quote:
Earlier, the team had scored a 1-2-3 in the shortened second Practice session, in which Haglöf had set a new lap record for TCR cars of 1:06.535 ahead of Dahlgren and Åhlin-Kottulinsky.
Hopefully they are waiting to release a statement when they have more information. I know it's a different series but you can't just be like "yeah, we had to shorten a practice session, in other news..."

Any thoughts on the 'cheating' debate in the STCC currently?

A good old cheating story.


Strong words from the race director:

Quote:
The SBF-appointed (Swedish Motorsport Federation) race director Börje Blomén, who was in charge at the Gelleråsen Arena STCC weekend, has stated that the exhaust configuration used by PWR Racing – SEAT Dealer Team has given them an advantage.

“Yes, it does (give them an advantage),” said Blomén to Dagens Nyheter.

...

“You can’t cherry pick. In my world this is very clear, you just have to look at the images (in the homologation papers) to see how it (the exhaust) should look,” said Blomén.

“Then you can discuss how the regulations have been interpreted, but the advantage with what they have done enables them to have a higher performance level from their cars than others.”

PWR’s rivals, including Kristoffersson Motorsport and WestCoast Racing, have stated this brings into question the results from the previous rounds of the season, which Blomén says cannot be changed.
