ITV finally listened and agreed to put qualifying on the main broadcast. They realized they were insulting the fans by hiding the action behind a broken web player. We forced them to respect this sport and now we can finally watch the full sessions without the constant freezing.

The BTCC has a wide fanbase that loves to watch their sport whenever they can. The popularity of the sport has increased drastically over previous years, largely due to ITV4's excellent coverage of the BTCC races on a Sunday. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for their coverage of Saturday Qualifying sessions. Qualifying is hidden away on itv.com, on a stream that is unreliable at best. It often freezes and cuts out causing loyal fans to miss out on crucial action, like Colin Turkington's pole winning lap at Croft. The BTCC and it's fans deserve better coverage of their Qualifying sessions. Televising Saturday Qualifying sessions would be major for the BTCC and would not only enable loyal fans to see coverage of Qualifying that they could rely on but it would also encourage new fans to start following the championship. So please ITV, give the fans what they want and deserve.

The momentum behind this is undeniable and it proves that ITV can no longer ignore the thousands of us tired of their pathetic streaming service. We are forcing them to look at the massive demand for proper television coverage of qualifying. They need to stop hiding the action on a broken website and put it on the air where it belongs.

Can't believe we have to watch it on a tiny laptop screen when it should be on itv4. Massive shame.

The online stream is garbage it buffers every 30 seconds and ruins the whole thing. Just put it on the telly.
