In other forums i've raised the question on radicals yes they are very boring to watch
Why are their races shown on tv when they are so dull?
The Great and British is a consortium between Radical, Mini, Dunlop and BARC,so the core 'consortium' races get televised. Broadcasts of the non-consortium championships are available to championship coordinators at a subsidised rate. Mini Miglias have taken advantage of this in the past.

In fairness to Radical, a number of their SR8 and Biduro battles have been thrillers, and certainly edit well to make decent TV.

G+B has found a niche between the professional packages such as TOCA and clubbie events. We have been approached by a number of championships wanting to partner with us on G+B next year, so hopefully by September we will have a clearer idea of next year's plans.

That's great to read james but will these new championships be able to fill a grid,really speaking if a championship can't fill 20 positions then it should be shown the red card i don't go the race meetings shelving out my hard earned cash to watch pathetic grids race for 50 mins or more,i just watched the GT cup on motors TV they have 30 cars on the grid even more than the british championship.I feel that would be one championship to bring in the punters with 2 30 min races not too long and both were brill with close racing that one really needs to be in a package maybe as a headlinersmile
