Tin Top Tuesday returns after breathtaking Brands weekend
Brands Hatch saw a bumper crowd at a sun-soaked weekend to exhibit the second event of the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship into life.
The Kent-based circuit delivered once again with two maiden victors displaying their talent around its formidable undulating characteristics. The new lighter, faster cars hit the forefront of the ITV coverage as Race Lap Records were smashed and Win Total records were broken.
As the season continues to roll into life and before the next event at Snetterton (24-25 May), take a listen to the latest instalment of TinTop Tuesday that was aired earlier this week (Tuesday 13 May).
The podcast hosted a number of familiar voices with Charles Rainford (LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR), getting his first BTCC victory in only his sixth race, being the first guest on the show.
“The guys have worked so hard in the factory to get the car to a position where Jake [Hill] and I, Daryl [DeLeon] and Aiden [Moffat] as well can all drive the car well now. It really was a whirlwind of expecting others to be doing other things that would explain why they weren’t quite as quick, but that just never happened.”
Daryl DeLeon (WSR) is the next guest on the show, having also taken his maiden victory in only his fifth race with the team and 50th overall in his career. The #2 BMW 330i M Sport driver talks coming down from cloud nine, the turnaround from Donington and much more.
Alan Hyde also caught up with Dick Bennetts, (WSR, Team Owner) the man at the head of all the triumphs from all three of the stable’s record-breaking wins. Along with Bennetts, Nick Foster (Ex-WSR driver) also joined the show with AUTO GLYM’s very own Mark Docherty.

The podcast hosted a number of familiar voices with Dan Rowbottom (NAPA Racing UK), igniting his season with a podium in the first race of the year, being the first guest on the show.
“If I win that championship by finishing fourth in 30 races, I can hold my head up as high as anyone at the TOCA awards knowing that I did what I set out to achieve.” Said Rowbottom. “ The target is to get to Brands, in the hunt, for the championship and that is it.”
Ash Sutton (NAPA Racing UK) is the next guest on the show, leading the championship after the four-time champion’s strongest opening to weekend in his 10th year of BTCC racing. The #116 talks opening weekend traditions, sandbagging at pre-season testing, and much more.

TOCA LIVE launches ahead of 2025 BTCC season
As part of the BTCC’s ongoing enhancements across its media services we are delighted to announce the launch of TOCA LIVE for the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship and beyond.
In the 1990s, Alan Hyde presented TOCA Radio, a fully produced radio broadcast offering commentary for the entire race weekend on circuit PA systems and circuit FM Radio.
Since then, only the race, pitlane and podium commentary has been broadcast on the circuit PA speakers and circuit FM radio, whilst in recent years this has also been live-streamed all weekend across the official BTCC website.
Now for 2025, TOCA LIVE will revive the radio presentation aspect across every BTCC race weekend, to all three of those media: PA, radio and online.
Alan will now host the day from the commentary box with music, commentary, interviews, competitions, fan engagement, whilst still covering the BTCC in his much-loved pitlane role.
The hugely popular Hyde will be supported alongside the established BTCC commentators of Chris Hartley, Matt Suckling, Duncan Vincent and Robert Johnston, whilst new race weekend commentators Josh Barrett and Ian Waterhouse will take care of all of the support races.
The PA and radio will remain popular options for fans to listen to this fantastic new service, but you can of course listen from anywhere in the world right here on https://btcc.net/live/live-audio/. Thank you to our audio partners Cre8Media for bringing this element to life and continuing their work within the championship.

Sutton ready for success at Knockhill
After scoring two fourth place finishes and a fifth last time out at Croft, we caught up with reigning Kwik Fit British Touring Car Champion Ash Sutton. The NAPA Racing UK driver talks on his weekend at the North Yorkshire circuit, the championship landscape heading into the latter stages of the season and his love and recent success at Knockhill.
The #1 has only one victory to his name this season but thanks to the ten podiums he still sits third in the standings. Along with this Sutton has endured two non-score finishes so far this season whereas the three drivers behind in the standings all have one. It is a different approach to last year but one that leaves the four-time champion still in the hunt for his record-breaking fifth.

Tin Top Tuesday: Listen again
Oulton Park set the scene for a rollercoaster weekend that sees the 2024 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship head into the summer break.
The Cheshire-based circuit delivered once again with its formidable undulating characteristics coming to light. The run down to Island Bend, up over Hill Top and into the braking zone at Hislops were where the main talking points took place for the battles out in front.
As we begin the five-week break before heading to Croft (27-28 July), take a listen to the latest instalment of TinTop Tuesday that was aired earlier this week (Tuesday 25 June).
The podcast hosted a number of familiar voices with Mikey Doble (Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing), scoring his first BTCC podium at Oulton Park, being the first guest on the show.
"For a driver in the British Touring Car Championship, getting on the podium for your first time is one of those moments that you just never really forget." said Doble. "Getting the pole before a podium is probably not the order in which I might have anticipated those two achievements when I started!"
Christian Dick (Team Principal, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK and LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ) is the next guest on the show, calling in from Portugal making the most of the summer break right from the off after spells of illness so far this season. The head of the Speedworks-run outfit talks on running four cars, up from three in 2023, Rob Huff settling into the team, Josh Cook being the third Toyota winner this season and more.
Alan Hyde also caught up Árón Taylor-Smith (Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing) leader of the Independents Trophy. Along with Taylor-Smith, Chris Smiley (Restart Racing) also joined the show coming off the back of his highest scoring weekend for the newly formed team, leaving Oulton Park with over triple the points of any weekend this season.
