​About the BTCC

​The British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) is the UK's premier touring car racing series and one of the world's longest-running motorsport championships. Broadcast nationally on ITV and attracting over 350,000 spectators throughout the season, it remains one of the UK's most attended and recognised forms of motorsport.

​Sharing the bill across the weekend:

• ​Kwik Fit BTCC The headline touring car series

• ​Porsche Carrera Cup GB Premier one-make GT — 911 GT3 Cup

• ​Porsche Sprint Challenge GB Entry-level — Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport

• ​MINI CHALLENGE JCW John Cooper Works hatchbacks

• ​Wera Tools F4 British FIA junior single-seaters — path to F3/F2

​While thousands attend each race weekend, access behind the scenes is rarely available to the public. This experience offers the opportunity to step beyond the grandstands and into the heart of race weekend.

​A Huge Thanks to our Partners!
