The 2014 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship kicks off with the Season Launch event at Donington Park on Tuesday March 18.

The event includes the Media Day during which  the 2014 cars and drivers will be officially confirmed before they take to the circuit in the afternoon for the only official pre-season test session.

The test session is also the first chance BTCC fans will get to see the 2014 grid in action on track, as Donington Park opens its gates to the public at 12:30, with testing starting at 13:00. Last year it was Andrew Jordan that topped the time sheets in the test session – setting the tone for his charge on the most sought-after title in British motor sport.

As in 2013, entry is completely free of charge, with no ticket purchase required. More information for fans can be found on the Donington Park page here.
