All I need to do is nothing mate. I was asking the question to the rctv peeps, if they wanted to do it I'm sure they could organise it them selves and I'm sure they would get payment through sponsor although I would pay a fee for each event coverage.
The 1/10th Nats need to get live timing at least

Davo,
Your quite correct, you don't need to do anything. BUT, wouldn't it be nice for someone else to organise the tv side of things rather than relying on the "same old" crew to do all the organising on top of trying to organise the 'nationals'.
At least drop them a line and tell them about the dates/venues for the nationals and ask if they would be willing to cover them?

Actually you don't even need a good internet feed! as we now own our own satellite uplink system (which we tested last year at the Mendip 1/10th TC national)

So we can stream in HD from anywhere in the UK!

Sounds good there's one step closer

Hi Nick,

Good to hear the internet isn't a problem anymore. Could you give us an idea of the money required to cover a two day event?

Thanks.

Don't know much about this but I'm sure the likes of sky and itv pay the sports company's to cover the events not the other way around.i would pay to watch the 1/8th and 1/10th offroad nats coverage as long as it wasn't expensive mabe that's an option.

Hi Davo - sorry to say this just isn't true! in Motorsport outside of F1 and Moto GP virtually nothing in the UK is paid for! ITV is PAID to cover BTCC, not by the main event who give their rights to ITV for free but by all the support races, and it is that money that actually allows ITV to cover the main BTCC races.

Sky no longer carry indycar or NASCAR because they were asked to pay (they did have them free) DTM is placed (they pay TV companies to cover it!) in every country except Germany

WEC / ELMS is given away (though Eurosport do pay for Le Mans)

ITV dropped live Superbikes when they were asked to pay!

And it's not just motorsport - look at sky schedules and outside Football, Rugby, Cricket and Boxing virtually nothing is paid and lots is placed!
