This weekend (17/18 June), the 2023 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship heads to Oulton Park for its fifth event of the season.
The Cheshire circuit will host the last three rounds before the mid-season break, with five more action-packed race weekends scheduled from the end of July (29/30) to early October (7/8).
In case you've missed any of the tin-top action so far, here is a round up of some of the key moments from the first part of the 2023 campaign...
Donington Park National
The BTCC got off to a wet and wild start during the season opener at Donington Park. Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK) produced a race winning double during rounds one and two, while Tom Chilton (BRISTOL STREET MOTORS with EXCELR8) claimed his first BTCC triumph in four years during the finale, as the ever-changing conditions provided action throughout the order.

Ash Sutton (NAPA Racing UK) then surged to two stunning successes in the following bouts as he got the better of BRISTOL STREET MOTORS with EXCELR8’s Tom Ingram and Turkington in race two, before scything his way from 11th on the grid to win a dramatic and tense finale.
