BTCC announces revised 2021 schedule
3 months ago
Organisers of the British Touring Car Championship have announced a revised calendar for the 2021 season as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 situation.
The season will now be delayed by a month until May, in the hope that a later start will provide greater opportunity for fans to attend events.
The campaign will now kick off at Thruxton on the date that was originally scheduled to be round three of the campaign before heading for Snetterton, with Brands Indy becoming round three prior to the summer break.
Racing then resumes at Oulton Park at the end of July before the trip to Knockhill and the second Thruxton meeting; both of which retain their original date.

Live and on-demand video streaming and DRM provider Vualto has been chosen by the UK’s leading independent broadcaster ITV to implement the necessary dynamic event orchestration technology to deliver live streamed events via its ITV Hub video-on-demand service.
The broadcasting giant say that it selected Vualto to deliver the necessary infrastructure to enable the spinning up of pop-up channels for the streaming of live events via its ITV Hub. In order to drive incremental views and make the broadcasting of more niche events via the ITV Hub, the partnership with Vualto will also enable ITV to explore more of its existing sports rights.
