There’s good news for MINI Challenge fans following the announcement of new television deals with Fox Sports and New Zealand’s TV3. Free to air viewers have not been forgotten, either, and the Channel 7 broadcast schedule has been confirmed for the rest of the year.
Full details after the break.
MINI CHALLENGE EXTENDS TV BROADCAST SCHEDULE
Hertz MINI Challenge – delivered by Pizza Capers can now been seen on Fox Sports and New Zealand’s TV3 as the series extends it’s already national broadcast schedule to subscription television and trans-Tasman coverage.
This comes as huge commercial boost to the series and its competitors which already broadcasts a successful post-produced highlights package from each round on the 7 Network.
As an official support category to the V8 Supercar Series, the addition of two further broadcasters to the television schedule will provide MINI Challenge fans with even more action-packed racing throughout the year.
