Croft joins Kent circuit in pre-season testing schedule
TOCA – series organiser of the British Touring Car Championship – has confirmed its 2026 Season Launch will be held at Brands Hatch, whilst Croft will host two days of official pre-season testing.
Popular for its varied layout, the first official testing action will take place at Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire on 24/25 March, prior to Season Launch at Brands Hatch on 8 April.
Official television coverage and photography will commence the early morning activities at the Season Launch, prior to a shift in focus for the final official pre-season test, featuring six hours of on-track action around the 1.27-mile Indy Circuit.
Both venues will be offering FREE ENTRY to spectators, with refreshments available to purchase, whilst fans will be able to get autographs and photos with their favourite driver during a pitlane walkabout at Brands Hatch.
The Season Launch event, to be held during the Easter school holidays, will be a great family day out and a perfect preview for a full BTCC race weekend.
Drivers and teams will participate in official pre-season media events and interviews with ITV Sport, BTCC Media Team, Kwik Fit and other partners on the 7 April, but this day will be closed to the public.
Please monitor the official BTCC, Croft and Brands Hatch social media channels for additional information as each event approaches.
