(Seriously though, do come back Clio Cup if possible )
If you are missing you fix of small French hatchbacks, search on YouTube for RenaultClioSeries. The European series is being shown with English commentary.

That BARC Trucks stream has a multi-era classic touring car racing championship, and a lot of touring car series have a classics championship on their package, so pipe dreams aside, could it happen?
(Answer: No, but it'd be nice!)
There used to be a very good classic series on the TOCA package back in the 90s but they were pushed out partly on the basis that they made the place look unprofessional. Given TOCA's push to towards ITV I can't see them wanting any amateur club series (no offense intended). Even in recent years when we have had the odd club series guesting they were usually pushed to the far corner of the paddock and kept well away from any TV cameras.

Even 2cvs racing at about 50mph for 24hours get a full live stream these days, yet if you're on the BTCC support package, you don't even get half of your races filmed, let alone streamed live.
Streaming coverage seems to be very variable in quality, some very good, some less so.

British GT and other SRO series are very good but then that's because they are produced to TV broadcast quality. There are filmed for proper highlights package on proper TV channels, and I believe in some case the like of Sky F1 have shown races live.

If you watch TCR UK coverage it's quite obvious that it's being filmed with minimal cameras and in some case unmanned cameras. The whole thing feels like it's being done on a budget.
