I think that what made Round 3 at Snetterton special was it's uniqueness, separate qualifying,double the length double the points and no ballast. If they decided to do this for every race meeting it would no longer be so special (or I feel, so interesting).
I think it was a great idea for celebrating the 60th anniversary of the BTCC, but not something that should become 'normal'.

I think the drivers will think that the separate qualifying for race 3 was the best new element. Probably if you asked drivers about the current format, the consistent comment you would get is that format, whilst great for fans, penalises drivers who have a problem in qualifying or race 1, so the chance to salvage something from the weekend with a 'new race and formed from a ballast free qualifying is good. Personally I would scrap the reverse top -10 for R3, it is a gimmick the BTCC doesnt need now.

But, it won't go down in the annals of BTCC lore like Tim Harvey suggested in the commentary, because it won't be on the internet properly to watch for the next decade. They'll just be a "Race 16 in 60 seconds clip" a week from now that is terrible for search algorithms. Sigh.
Oh my goodness, someone is actually listening, thank goodness.

Yes, but traditionally they name them very badly. They just give them generic names -

https://www.youtube.com/user/btccdotnet/videos

"R11 in 60s | Oulton Park | BTCC 2018"

That could've been the greatest battle of all time. It could've had 6 cars fighting for the lead. It could be epic. But you'd never find it, and YouTube would never suggest it because the poor naming convention doesn't work with algorithms.

The clips are great, they just need to be named better so they will then get absorbed by the YouTube suggestion feature and be searchable. Currently, that doesn't work. So great change by BTCC media people.

This is exactly what I meant, thank you.

They need to take out of the generic highlights clips the main moments, make sure it is titled well and has a good thumbnail. This is step one and helps the popularity of the series long-term. Great that this is now happening.

Step 2 is to write a video description, including the driver/team/car/sponsor names, track name, round number etc. and include links to the ITV Hub/website and the BTCC website plus video tags.
