The 2019 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship kicks into action in earnest this week (10-13 January), with a host of the championship's drivers and cars taking centre-stage at Autosport International at Birmingham's NEC.
Traditionally, the BTCC feature stand has proven to be one of the stand-out attractions at the industry's foremost show, drawing professionals, media and fans alike over the four days.
This year, the all-new stand will launch Kwik Fit's term as title sponsor of Britian's premier motorsport series, and play host to Motorbase Performance, AmD Tuning, Power Maxed Racing and Ciceley Motorsport as they talk 2019.
Also on the stand, there will be a host of interviews across the show with drivers, key team personnel, partners and leading figures from the championship with Series Director Alan Gow, Kwik Fit's Andy Lane and Dunlop’s Mickey Butler all in attendance. Additionally, on Saturday and Sunday, there's the chance for fans to meet their heroes with autograph and selfie sessions.
The Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship feature can be found at Stand 2580 in Hall 2.
