Coming up this April on Front Runner…
This month marks the start of the British GT Championship and MINI Challenge seasons – and we’re showing all the action LIVE. This is no April Fool.
As well as loads more motorsport, there’s new sports lined up and new episodes of Bike World, World Poker Tour, The Indoor League and Gillette World Sport.
Here’s a taster of what’s to come…
- Live British GT Championship and Live Mini Challenge. NEW!
Monday April 17th and Sunday April 30th 10.45am-2pm and 3pm-5.15pm.
For the first time ever, the British GT Championship and Mini Challenge will be broadcast live from the race track. Fans will be able to watch racing this season from every UK-based track, and get to know the teams, drivers and the cars.
Front Runner’s live motorsport coverage starts on Easter Monday from Oulton Park, in Cheshire. Then, at the very end of the month, we’ll be showing the live action from Rockingham, Northamptonshire.
We’re already feeling the anticipation.
- World Poker Tour. MORE EPISODES!
Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays at 7.30pm on Freeview only. Repeated regularly.
Due to popular demand, we’ve managed to source more episodes of one of Front Runner’s most enjoyed shows. World Poker Tour follows the action from the tables of premiere high-stakes poker tournaments.
These stars certainly know how to play and manage to keep their cool – even when there’s over a hundred thousand dollars at stake. And you can certainly feel the tension around the table.
- BTRDA Rally Championship. NEW!
Tuesday April 4th at 6.30pm, Thursday April 20th at 6.30pm. Repeated regularly.
Follow all the action throughout the 2017 BTRDA Clubmans Rallycross Championship.
The championship’s Gold Star title is the most prestigious in UK club rallying and this national series travels to some of the most iconic forest rally stages.
- Arm Wars. NEW!
Wednesdays 4.30-5.30pm. Repeated regularly.
Our professional fighting coverage has been a firm favourite since the channel launched last October. So we thought we’d also add professional arm wrestling to the schedule… because, well, why not?!
- The Indoor League. MORE EPISODES!
Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays at 5.30pm. Sundays 8.30am-10am and 4pm-5.30pm.
Cricket legend Fred Trueman is back with a pipe in one hand and a pint in t’other to introduce us to more skilled participants competing in this traditional pub games tournament.
The series from the 1970s brought back so many memories of playing table skittles, shove ha’penny, bar billiards and Yorkshire darts at the village local. So we found more episodes and will be showing these throughout April.
- Gillette World Sport 2017. SERIES CONTINUES!
Thursdays at 9.30pm on Freeview only.
Love a niche sport? Then there is no better programme to watch than Gillette World Sport. This feature-driven show delves into the idiosyncrasies of your favourite sports, taking a look at the techniques used by athletes, how they train, technology, the cutting edge science and much more.
With interviews from some of the world’s biggest sporting stars, from motorsport, snowboarding, skiing, rugby, sailing and Olympic competitions. You name it, Gillette World Sport has it covered.
