HiQ British Touring Car Championship

The BTCC is Britain's most popular auto racing series. Created in 1958, The BTCC showcases real cars doing battle on the racetrack. All cars have two-litre engines, and come from many different manufacturers including some you won’t see in many, if any other series such as Vauxhall, Peugeot, Proton and MG. Always interesting, the BTCC has all the drama and tension you'll find in a larger, international series. Races are held on permanent road or street courses across the UK.
