    ITV4 will have the full race schedule on TV live all day of you have access to it. They did last year anyway. If not available on your TV, try the FilmOn website.

    I had ITV4 with upc and any time it was on "programme not available in your region". Recently changed to sky so hopefully be able to see it there if not I'll try one of the apps. Thanks

    UPC have "notions" about rights to sports events and block the hell out of anything on ITV4.

    You'll be grand on Sky.

    From watching the first 2 rounds, there's any of 5 or 6 who can take this championship. Consistently scoring points (even 6th-10th finishes) are what's going to be key. The combo of increased ballast and the bogey tyre means you're going to have one race per weekend that's just pure damage limitation.

    I'd say on pure pace, the VW is the fastest car and Smith was desperately unlucky in Race 3 at Donnington.

    If I was placing a bet though, I'd go for Neal. He's found form again and is wily enough to survive the races where a top 6 isn't on.

    Really hope I remember to watch most of this. The racing really is second to none.

    I've been quite disappointed with how Priaulx has gone this season given his pedigree. The Brands pole points to obvious pace but he's been struggling with the close racing.
