Introducing the BTCC

The British Touring Car Championship represents the UK’s premier format of motor racing. A British sporting institution, the BTCC has been a family favourite for over 60 years and is the globe’s third longest running motor racing series behind Formula One and Nascar.

Famed for its incredible access and no-holds barred racing, the BTCC provides a fantastic spectacle and an exciting race experience for the millions of fans who tune in to ITV’s terrestrial TV coverage as well as the hundreds of thousands of fans who line the circuits nationwide.

A pioneer in their own field, the BTCC in 2022 became the world’s first touring car series to implement hybrid power units in every car on the grid. Alongside this, each car now runs off of a 15% synthetic fuel.

In doing so, the BTCC has become the greenest form of touring car racing in the world - an incredibly important factor as the series remains one of the most relevant and attractive to the automotive market and car enthusiasts worldwide.

Unlike many forms of high-level motorsport, the BTCC’s popularity is rising with every passing year. In 2023, four of the hosting circuits broke their attendance record at each round.
