Confirmation of Motorsport UK’s return to ITV1 screens at the end of May brings with it some fantastic news for the BTE Lawline/Renault Super One Karting Championships which are to be featured on the popular magazine programme on three occasions this year.
The BTE Lawline/Renault MSA British Kart Championship (Formula A), BTE Lawline/Renault MSA British Junior Kart Championship (Formula JICA) and BTE Lawline/Renault ABkC ICA Championship (Formula ICA), will all receive coverage on Britain’s number one commercial TV channel through broadcasts in August, September and October.
Motorsport UK, which is dedicated to TOCA Tour support races such as the Formula Renault UK Championship and ELF/BTE Lawline Renault Clio Cup, has seen increased viewing figures year-on-year since its inauguration. Last year, for example, the Renault championships achieved best-ever figures of four million Motorsport UK viewers.
BTE Lawline/Renault Super One Karting is already featured on digital satellite channel Sky Sports as part of the Race World programme but the addition of Super One to ITV1 scheduling is a major coup for British karting.
The first screening, which will feature action from March’s opening meeting of the season at Three Sisters, is scheduled for broadcast at 0.100 hours on Sunday, 15th August. Meanwhile, footage from June’s Clay Pigeon round and the final meeting of the season at Larkhall will be shown on 5th September and 3rd October respectively.
Neil Hann, series organiser of the BTE Lawline/Renault Formula A, Formula JICA and Formula ICA Championships, commented: “This is great news for the karting classes in question and comes directly as a result of having Renault UK on board as a sponsor for Formula A, Formula JICA and Formula ICA.
“To be featured on ITV1 is a tremendous boost for Super One and for the karting to be shown alongside the likes of Formula Renault UK and the ELF/BTE Lawline Renault Clio Cup in the Motorsport UK package is a major boost to drivers, teams and sponsors.”
