Organisers of the TOCA Junior Championship have today (Monday 22nd July) announced the venue and date for its official launch, as well as where fans will be able to get a first look at the car that will be competing in the new 2025 one-make category.

With the build process of the car approaching its conclusion and an extensive testing programme scheduled to begin in the coming weeks, a strictly invite-only event will be held at the Mercure Daventry Court Hotel on the evening of Tuesday 13th August. 

Prospective teams and drivers, as well as media and partners, will be invited to attend as the covers come off the machine - which bares the Chevron name - that drivers aged 14 to 17 will compete against each other in next year. 

Information on the championship will also be provided to those in attendance before the registration process formerly opens two days later on Thursday 15th August, with teams and drivers that have legitimate interest to join the series can secure their spot on the entry list.

For the inaugural season of the TOCA Junior Championship, the size of the grid will be capped to a maximum of 26 cars. Spaces will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. 

A little over a week on from the invite-only launch, spectators will have the opportunity to get up close with the official TOCA Junior car at Donington Park on the 24-25 August as one will be on display in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship paddock.

Dave Beecroft, TOCA Junior Championship Director: “It feels great to finally be able to announce that we will be officially launching the TOCA Junior Championship in less than a months’ time.

“Since the concept of the Championship was first announced we have been inundated with teams and drivers expressing their interest to be on the grid; which has been truly fantastic to see and a testament to the appetite that there is for junior racing in the UK.

“Behind the scenes our team has been working tirelessly to put the finishing touches on the car. Taking the covers off the car to prospective teams and drivers first is something that is important to us and we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to the Mercure in Daventry.

“To then head to Donington Park afterwards and display the car in the British Touring Car Championship paddock - whereby we will become a fixture on the support bill next year - is just as exciting as the public will be able to give us their reactions.

“Obviously these launches officially mark the countdown to our inaugural race however there is a lot more to look forward to, especially as we have plenty more announcements to make over the coming weeks and months.”

German brand becomes Official Oil and Lubricants Partner

The British Touring Car Championship is delighted to announce today (19 July) that it is welcoming German motor oil and additive manufacturer, LIQUI MOLY, as its ‘Official Oil and Lubricants Partner’.

This long term three-and-a-half-year deal commences immediately, taking in the remainder of the 2024 campaign and the following three BTCC seasons.

The relationship officially kicks off at Croft on 27/28 July with the event being officially ‘Presented by LIQUI MOLY’. The brand will then lend its name to the race weekend at Croft for the subsequent events in 2025, 2026 and 2027.

LIQUI MOLY branding will be present at all BTCC race venues, with circuit signage and podium backdrops among the areas in which its logo will be presented. Furthermore, the blue-red-white company branding will be present on the official BTCC website and other media channels.

Thanks to this partnership with the BTCC, the lubricant specialist aims to further develop and strengthen its position in the United Kingdom market in particular, which has been under the responsibility of the subsidiary LIQUI MOLY UK since 2022.

“The BTCC is not only a firm fixture in motorsport throughout the United Kingdom, but also attracts fans worldwide,” says Debbie Barnes, Managing Director of LIQUI MOLY UK.

“Speed, adrenaline rush, emotions – the BTCC has been thrilling motorsport enthusiasts for decades. Placing LIQUI MOLY in this dynamic environment is the perfect opportunity for us to increase the fascination for our quality brand – and our partners and customers will hugely benefit from this partnership.”

“We are delighted to welcome LIQUI MOLY into the BTCC family,” said Alan Gow, BTCC Chief Executive. “We have always cherished our loyal and long-term relationships with our very specific and carefully chosen partners, and we look forward to LIQUI MOLY joining that illustrious group.

“LIQUI MOLY is a much admired and trusted motor oil and additive manufacturer throughout the world, not just in motorsport, and we are looking forward to what will be a hugely successful partnership.”

LIQUI MOLY’s commitment to the British Touring Car Championship fits perfectly into the existing motorsports sponsorship of the lubricant specialist. Among other things, LIQUI MOLY is an ‘Official Partner’ of Formula 1, a sponsor of MotoGP and the Exclusive Lubricant for Moto2 and Moto3, as well as in the DTM, and is the Exclusive Lubricant partner of the Motocross World Championship.

The deal struck between the two parties was also largely thanks to the BTCC’s new Commercial Partner, Global Media Properties (GMP).

“As passionate motorsport enthusiasts, we partner major racing series worldwide. This new partnership is a logical and consistent step in further expanding our international brand awareness,” says Peter Baumann, Marketing Director at LIQUI MOLY.

“With its popularity and enormous reach, the BTCC offers us the perfect opportunities for this.”

Ash Sutton remained at the top of the standings heading into Thruxton despite not having won a race at the opening three weekends. The fast charging Jake Hill would be looking to take top spot after an incredible Sunday last time out at Snetterton...

Jake Hill has enjoyed one of the best fortnights of his BTCC career, having followed up his Snetterton double victory last time out with another here at Thruxton today (9 June).

Rounds 10, 11 and 12 of the 2024 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship were not without drama as Hill inherited one victory after title rival Tom Ingram was handed a post-race penalty.

A huge crowd descended on the hugely popular Hampshire venue as the fastest track in the country provided the highly anticipated thrills and spills.

The final reverse grid race was won by NAPA Racing UK’s Ash Sutton – his first of the season and the 40th of his BTCC career so far – as the Essex driver moved back to the summit of the standings, five points ahead of Hill.

Ingram is third with Colin Turkington fourth, whilst Dan Cammish hauled himself back into championship contention with an impressive trio of second place finishes at Thruxton.

Alliance Racing/Ford and its NAPA Racing UK outfit tops both the Manufacturers’ and Teams’ tables.

Árón Taylor-Smith and his Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing team continue to dominate the Independents’ order, whilst team-mate Mikey Doble still holds sway in the Jack Sears Trophy.

Hill climbs the summit with race one win

Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport's Hill became the first treble winner of the season with victory in the opener.

Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS' Ingram bogged down from pole position, as Hill blasted his #24 BMW 330e M Sport off the line. He immediately nipped between second placed Cammish and ahead of Ingram, as the latter got swamped by a trio of NAPA Racing UK cars.

There was contact further down the order early on as a clash between Team BMW's Adam Morgan and TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK's Andrew Watson dislodged the tyre stack at the final chicane, resulting in a brief safety car period.

Things settled down among the top positions following the restart, albeit at a ferocious pace, as Hill led home the NAPA Racing UK duo of Cammish and championship leader Sutton.

Jake Hill inherits victory after Ingram penalty

Hill made it a double-double in race two as he inherited the victory following a post-race penalty for on-the-road winner Ingram.

Kent driver Hill came into the Snetterton weekend last time out languishing behind in the standings, but an incredible four victories from five races propelled him up to the top of the order.

Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS' Ingram initially fired his Hyundai i30N to the chequered flag first but was later demoted to third after gaining an unfair advantage in an incident involving Cammish.

Having relinquished pole position in race one – eventually having to settle for fourth – Ingram was keen to put things right in the second contest.

Pole man Hill made a stellar getaway in his Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport BMW, as the NAPA Racing UK duo of Sutton and Cammish tried to keep Ingram behind.

Ingram got by Cammish as the duo ran side-by-side towards the final corner, the former being adjudged to have gained an unfair advantage as he straight-lined the chicane.

Sutton and Ingram hounded Hill for the win, but the #1 Ford Focus suffered damage to the front splitter around mid-distance.

Struggling for traction at the ultra-high-speed Hampshire circuit, Sutton was soon relegated to third by Ingram, who then blasted by Hill a few laps later before romping away.

Sutton was further demoted by his NAPA Racing UK team-mates – Cammish and Dan Rowbottom – and eventually had to settle for fifth, but the headlines belonged to Hill after Ingram’s post-race penalty.

Sutton returns to standings lead after 40th BTCC career victory

The BTCC saved the best until last with an exciting reverse grid race at Thruxton, as Sutton returned to the top of the standings with his first win of the season and the 40th of his impressive career so far.

Starting from fourth on the grid Sutton initially dropped back and was embroiled in a scrap with some of his rivals, but he soon set about rising through the order.

He saw off NAPA Racing UK team-mate Cammish and he eventually got the better of long-time leader Adam Morgan.

Team BMW’s Morgan was then tangled in another incident, as on-the-track race two winner Ingram experienced a case of Déjà vu when approaching the final chicane late on in a fight for fourth.

Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS' Ingram looked to have got past Morgan before being hit in the side, forcing him to straight-line the chicane for the second successive race, but this time through no fault of his own.

Ingram rejoined in third to complete the podium behind race-winner Sutton and Cammish – the latter having taken an impressive podium hat-trick during the day.

Jake Hill, Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport, said: “What a day! I didn’t think we could possibly do any better than Snetterton, but amazingly we have. Thruxton; you’ve been a diamond; two wins and a fifth place. I’m over the moon. The Laser Beemer has been unbelievable and I’m over the moon. We’re only a couple of points off the lead, which has been a mega comeback since Brands. We’ll go to Oulton ready to get some more.”

Ash Sutton, NAPA Racing UK, said: “I massively fancied my chances. I knew we had a quick race car, we saw glimpses of that in race two. To go out there and utilise that was mega and to reward the guys was awesome. It’s been a bit harder this season, everyone else around us has upped their game. We just chose to go about it a bit differently this year with the new hybrid rules and option tyres, but when the opportunity comes and the car is beneath me, I will go out there and deliver!”

The standings in which all teams compete in has some of the tightest fights during a campaign... NAPA Racing UK won the last Teams' championship and headed into the new season with expectations to repeat the success.

Donington Park National - Rounds 1-2-3

NAPA Racing UK started 2024 as it ended 2023, at the very top. In fact across the opening three races the Alliance Racing-run outfit were only outscored by one team in the final race of the weekend. That team was the Toyotas of LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ who, after Aiden Moffat's win in race three, came away from the weekend second in the standings.

Despite having won two of the three races overall, Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS came away from Donington Park third in the Teams' standings. Team BMW were narrowly behind as the top four were split by 13 points leaving the first weekend of the season.

Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport left the first round as the highest team to field one car with Jake Hill. Not only doing that but finishing above three teams of two-car entries behind. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK would finish ahead of Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing by two points with the two new teams to the championship closing out the order.

Teams' Championship Standings - Event 1

1 - NAPA Racing UK - 75	6 - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK - 34
2 - LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ - 68	7 - Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing - 32
3 - Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS - 65	8 - Restart Racing - 8
4 - Team BMW - 62	9 - Duckhams Racing with Bartercard - 6
5 - Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport - 41

Brands Hatch Indy - Rounds 4-5-6

Another weekend with no wins did not hurt NAPA Racing UK in the slightest as it continued to top the standings by ten points. Team BMW jumped from fourth to second after two wins for Colin Turkington, but still tied on points with Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS, who remained in third place after another win of its own.

Despite outscoring all of the teams above them in race one, LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ's remaining races were not as successful dropping the team to fourth. In fifth place we saw a jump in form from Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing, climbing up two places with increasingly better results across all three races.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK held its sixth place from the first event, leapfrogging Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport after Hill had a non-scoring race two. Restart Racing remained ahead of Duckhams Racing with Bartercard, with the latter also feeling the effect of a non-scoring round with running one car.

Teams' Championship Standings - Event 2

1 - NAPA Racing UK - 146	6 - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK - 74
2 - Team BMW - 136	7 - Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport - 60

4 - LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ - 113	9 - Duckhams Racing with Bartercard - 13
5 - Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing - 77

Snetterton - Rounds 7-8-9

The changeable conditions of Snetterton proved to be a shake up again, but not at the top. NAPA Racing UK continued to top the standings despite still not winning a single race overall at the opening three events. The team even grew its advantage over Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS, which jumped into second.

LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ outscored all teams in races two and three to rise up the standings, but neither gained nor lost points to the top spot. Team BMW fell two places to fourth as the positions behind the leaders continued to change after every round.

The fight for fifth changed for the third round running with TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK getting the better of Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing in Norfolk. Even after winning races one and two, Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport did not climb any places, but continue to be the top-placed one-car outfit.

Teams' Championship Standings - Event 3

1 - NAPA Racing UK - 205	6 - Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing - 114
2 - Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS - 184	7 - Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport - 107

4 - Team BMW - 169	9 - Zeus Cloud Racing with WSR - 34
5 - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK - 126	10 - Duckhams Racing with Bartercard - 26

Thruxton - Rounds 10-11-12

The fastest circuit in the country is the event where NAPA Racing UK really stretched its legs. Not only getting a first overall win of the year, the team also walked away with a 99-point weekend having the highest scoring event of any team so far this season.

Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS continued to hold on to second place as Team BMW and LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ once again traded places for third and fourth. The gap between second to fourth was less than half the gap from first to second.

Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport climbed back up to fifth, with Hill winning races one and two. The midfield left Thruxton in a tight battle as the fifth-placed team led TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK by four points, with Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing a further point behind.

Teams' Championship Standings - Event 4

1 - NAPA Racing UK - 304	6 - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK - 154
2 - Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS - 243	7 - Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing - 153
3 - Team BMW - 227	8 - Restart Racing - 49
4 - LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ - 215	9 - Zeus Cloud Racing with WSR - 34
5 - Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport - 154	10 - Duckhams Racing with Bartercard - 29

Oulton Park - Rounds 13-14-15

Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS could not put a dent into NAPA Racing UK's lead heading into the halfway mark of the season, as the gap remained the same as it did after Thruxton. The championship leaders outscored the EXCELR8-run outfit by two points in race one before the latter gained a point back in each subsequent race.

Josh Cook helped LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ in retaking third place with a race win in race two, whilst Team BMW fell back behind the Toyota Corollas by two points.

Despite a win for Hill and Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport, the double podium for Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing in the same race would see the team jump two places to fifth, with the former now in sixth. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK would be outscored by both teams ahead of them in every race to hit the mid-season mark in seventh.

Restart Racing along with NAPA Racing UK are the only two teams to remain in the same position at every round as the BTCC newcomers would stay in eighth. In ninth would once again be Duckhams Racing with Bartercard, placing them as the second-placed team running one car.

SERIES ORGANISER TOCA TO CONSIDER EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST

TOCA – Series Organiser of the British Touring Car Championship – has today (16 July) opened applications from interested teams looking to join the UK’s premier motorsport series from the 2025 season onwards.

Having reached its ‘quality over quantity’ targets for the 2024 campaign, BTCC Chief Executive Alan Gow will consider applications from ‘fresh, high-quality’ outfits as part of the championship’s forward development plans.

Gow said: “For the last six years I’ve said many times that, ideally, I’d like to cap our numbers to around 24 cars for several different reasons – not least of which is to support our teams by utilising the sound commercial principle of maintaining ‘supply’ just below ‘demand’ in order to underpin their entries and investment.

“Whilst reviewing these plans I also appreciate that some interested new teams (i.e. non-current TBL holders) have, until now, been unable to join the championship due to the tightly controlled restrictions of the TBL allocation system.

“With that in mind, I’ve opened the door for expressions of interest from up to two, two-car teams who are looking to join the championship from 2025. With high and consistent levels of quality and competitiveness throughout the current grid, the final number could then be capped at 24 cars/TBLs.”

The TBL, (TOCA BTCC Licence), is a required licence issued by TOCA to run a car in the championship and was first introduced in 2014. The TBL system has proved highly popular with the teams by providing a tangible instrument to help secure their resources.

“Stable technical regulations are, of course, one of the most cost-effective ways of controlling costs and equalising competition. So, whilst new technical regulations are due to be introduced from 2027, these will be an evolution of the current hugely successful and stable NGTC regs. Therefore, cars purchased or built by current or new teams will also be valid to use during that next phase of the regulations, with only relatively minor updates that are specifically aimed at reducing costs, whilst continuing to provide the proven equality of performance that exists.”

Confidential expressions of interest should be directed to; alan.gow@btcc-toca.com

The Independent Teams' championship has seen Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing win every round so far this season. Despite this being the case, the inter-team fight along with the battles behind have been nothing short of fascinating for the Independent Drivers' title...

Donington Park National - Rounds 1-2-3

The opening rounds of the 2024 season could not have seen much worse weather to kick off a campaign. Throughout the testing conditions, it would be Árón Taylor-Smith who would take the first win of the championship and would repeat the feat in race two with seventh and 11th place overall finishes.

Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing team-mate Mikey Doble would slot in behind the Irishman in the opening two races before taking home a triumph in race three. The duo would finish the opening weekend split by only three points.

The fight for third place between Restart Racing and Duckhams Racing with Bartercard was split evenly across all remaining drivers. Not only splitting the podium but also all three drivers having a non-score finish. Daryl DeLeon would take to the rostrum in the drenched race one before Chris Smiley would do the same in race two, and then Scott Sumpton would take the place for the final race of the day.

Independent Drivers' Championship - Event 1

1 - Árón Taylor-Smith - 57

2 - Mikey Doble - 54

3 - Daryl DeLeon - 28

4 - Chris Smiley - 28

5 - Scott Sumpton - 26

Brands Hatch Indy - Rounds 4-5-6

Taylor-Smith took momentum and continued to extend his championship lead at the second event of the season. It would be another class victory in the opening race of the weekend for the #40 before switching places with Doble as they alternated the top two steps on the rostrum in races one and two.

The championship leader would go on to win race three with an overall fourth place finish doing the double-double at the first two events. Doble would falter in race three after dropping through the order on the wrong tyres to take home fourth. In doing so it meant at both events so far that every driver would stand on the rostrum.

Smiley would be the driver to stand on the podium in race one as DeLeon would have his second non-score of the season. The Filipino driver would return to take the third spot in race two as it would be Sumpton who would fail to score in this race. Race three would see Smiley jump up to take the first non-Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing second-place finish, with Sumpton completing the Restart Racing double-podium.

Independent Drivers' Championship - Event 2

1 - Árón Taylor-Smith - 114

2 - Mikey Doble - 104

3 - Chris Smiley - 73

4 - Daryl DeLeon - 54

5 - Scott Sumpton - 54

Snetterton - Rounds 7-8-9

The changeable conditions returned for the third event of the season, this time favouring Doble more than any other independent driver. Sunday did not start that way though as Taylor-Smith would take the win in the only all-wet race of the day, as Doble would finish second, with DeLeon bringing in his third podium of the year.

Risks began to get taken in race two as Taylor-Smith would pit after the green flag lap to get off the wet tyres and onto the softs. This would prove to be the wrong choice after initially setting fastest laps, the rain would return to hinder the end of the race. Doble would go on to take victory along with an overall fourth-place finish, sharing the podium with both DeLeon and Sumpton. This would be the fourth time in eight races to have all in-class-competitors finish.

Doble would stay on top in race three, cutting the gap to one point to his team-mate as DeLeon would also hold his position from race two. Behind, Taylor-Smith rose up the order to close out the weekend with a podium, as this time it would be Smiley who would not finish.

Independent Drivers' Championship - Event 3

1 - Árón Taylor-Smith - 162

2 - Mikey Doble - 161

3 - Daryl DeLeon - 103

4 - Chris Smiley - 97

5 - Scott Sumpton - 93

Thruxton - Rounds 10-11-12

After a challenging Snetterton, Taylor-Smith could not have bounced back any better. The #40 would take home all three victories across the weekend despite a crash in qualifying that limited his starting position to 12th.

Doble would not have the pace of his team-mate across the weekend, unable to get close at any point. The #88 Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing Vauxhall Astra would do the best with what was left on offer, coming home in second in all three races.

In fact, it would be the same podium across all three races as Smiley would return to the rostrum since the opening race at Snetterton. Placing Restart Racing on the podium at every race across a weekend for the first time in the teams' BTCC career.

Independent Drivers' Championship - Event 4

1 - Árón Taylor-Smith - 222

2 - Mikey Doble - 212

3 - Chris Smiley - 142

4 - Daryl DeLeon - 129

5 - Scott Sumpton - 117

Oulton Park - Rounds 13-14-15

Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing ended the opening half of the campaign with its best weekend of the season to date. The opening two races would go the way of Taylor-Smith, who would hit the midway stage of the campaign having taken ten out of a possible 15 victories.

Doble would once again take home the second-place finishes behind his team-mate, as both drivers would have a total of 14 podiums from the 15 races. Continuing on from a triple-podium from Thruxton, Smiley would do the same once more to cement himself in third place halfway through the season.

Race three of the weekend is where the interest piqued as the duo of Doble and Taylor-Smith would lockout the front row of the overall grid. The #40 would defend behind the #88 early on before Jake Hill would break through. Doble would put up a superb defence but would lose out on the last lap of the race. Despite the heartbreak it was the Caterham-born drivers' first overall podium and a double-trip to the rostrum for the team to close out the first five events.

Independent Drivers' Championship - Event 5

1 - Árón Taylor-Smith - 279

2 - Mikey Doble - 266

3 - Chris Smiley - 187

4 - Daryl DeLeon - 168

5 - Scott Sumpton - 150

Despite two victories last time out it was not Colin Turkington but Ash Sutton leading the way into Snetterton. Even in fine form it would be another BMW taking the headlines after a wet and windy weekend...

Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport’s Jake Hill enjoyed a dream Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship weekend at Snetterton as he backed up Saturday’s pole position with a dominant double on Sunday (25/26 May).

The BMW talent took two lights-to-flag victories, but that doesn’t tell the full story, as the Kent driver had to win each contest in very different circumstances.

Championship leader Ash Sutton scored a seventh successive podium before than run eventually came to an end in race two, when the NAPA Racing UK star crashed out late on.

Podiums for Bobby Thompson, Dan Cammish, Josh Cook and Aiden Moffat also shook-up proceedings as the title race continues to take shape.

The final word went to home hero Rob Huff as he headed an incredible Toyota 1-2-3 in the final encounter, securing his first BTCC triumph in 20 years.

When the rain eventually cleared in Norfolk it was Sutton leaving the circuit with a ten-point advantage over Team BMW’s Colin Turkington in the overall Drivers’ standings, with Hill and Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS’ Tom Ingram only a further point in arrears – the top four blanketed by just 11 points with Cook also closing in.

The Alliance Racing/Ford outfit jumped BMW in the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ order, whilst NAPA Racing UK also tops the Teams’ table.

Árón Taylor-Smith and his Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing squad still hold sway in the Independents’ championships, whilst team-mate Mikey Doble is the Jack Sears Trophy leader.

Lucky 13 for Jake Hill

The list of 2024 BTCC race winners continued to grow after Hill scored his 13th career success, becoming the fifth different race winner of the season so far.

Hill bounced back from a challenging Brands Hatch last time out to take pole position in Norfolk yesterday, and he duly backed that up with a dominant display in the opener around the 2.97-mile circuit.

The battle for the other places on the podium kicked off almost immediately as NAPA Racing UK's Sutton slotted into second, whilst Zeus Cloud Racing with WSR's Thompson blasted into fourth behind Team BMW stablemate Adam Morgan.

Morgan's pace seemed to fade by mid-distance as Thompson cruised by, before the latter focused on hunting down Sutton's #1 Ford Focus.

The moment eventually came as the new striking purple BMW blasted by Sutton on the start/finish straight to secure second.

Third still represented an impressive result for championship leader Sutton, as it confirmed his seventh successive podium to kick off his title defence.

Hill climbs the standings with stunning race two win

BMW star Hill then claimed a stunning victory in a frenetic race two.

A huge storm descended onto Norfolk just minutes prior to the original start time, which caused a delay while water was removed from the track surface.

Incredibly, the circuit was basked in glorious sunshine shortly after as a mixture of wet and dry tyre options began to take shape during the race.

The drama had already started on-track too with pole-sitter Hill and his Zeus Cloud Racing with WSR stablemate Thompson receiving a ten second penalty for jumping the start.

The race win almost looked impossible for Hill, but he immediately set about stretching the gap at the head of the field, and when rain began to fall again later in the contest the race started to swing back the way of the Kent driver.

Hill was truly sublime in the wet conditions, pulling away from the chasing pack by more than 15 seconds to score a superlative second victory of the day.

NAPA Racing UK's Dan Cammish took second ahead of LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ's Cook, with the latter impressively rising from 14th on the grid.

Home hero Huff heads Toyota 1-2-3

It has been a weekend of incredible stories with Huff's first BTCC win in 20 years headlining the final encounter in Norfolk.

There had been much talk about Huff's most recent BTCC win – at Snetterton way back in 2004 – so for a man that lives around half an hour from the circuit it was arguably written in the stars that he would repeat the trick here today.

An incredible race began with Hill looking like he would score an historic hat-trick as the Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport star gambled on the Goodyear wet tyres from ninth on the grid. 

Hill blasted by the entire field on the opening lap and began pulling away from the slick-shod runners, bringing the only other car on wets – Andrew Watson's Toyota – with him.

A masterclass from Hill was on the cards and with it the opportunity to join the very short shortlist of just Dan Eaves and Jason Plato to win three BTCC races in the same day.

The crossover happened around mid-distance, however, as the dry Goodyear tyres were soon quicker than the wets.

The chasing pack reeled them in, and after TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK's Huff had fought off LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ stablemate Cook and dodged a half-slide from Aiden Moffat, he was soon past Hill and into the lead.

Hill began to fade as Speedworks romped on to an incredible result, with Huff leading home Moffat and Cook for a memorable 1-2-3 for Toyota – the first podium lockout for the Japanese marque in the history of the BTCC.

Not only was that an incredible stat for Toyota, but Huff’s first BTCC victory in nearly 20 years also represented the longest gap between wins for a single driver.

Jake Hill, Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport, said: “The car was just absolutely beautiful to drive. I can't thank Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport enough; they've given me a car that is just absolutely awesome. The car has been through a lot of development over the winter and this is just the best it's felt by such a long way

“That (race two) means absolutely everything, probably the best and most professional race of my life. The car was absolutely awesome, it was like I was driving a car in the dry. The car is great and I'd like to think I'm doing a pretty good job too. I am so proud of everyone and I'm proud of myself, which is nice. The Laser Beemer strikes again!”

Rob Huff, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK, said: “Race 3 here at Snetterton does it again for me at my home track. I genuinely didn't know I was leading, I knew I was coming through, I was just picking them off one-by-one but I didn't quite know where we were. 

“The car was fantastic, it's safe to say we were dialled into that today and to win here at my home track is just mega! The car was exactly what I've been searching for so far this year, what a race!”

The Independent Teams' Championship has had many familiar names competing throughout the years with the likes of Matt Neal and Colin Turkington leading in Independent wins. Power Maxed Racing closed out 2023 in second place looking to make one step further in 2024.

Donington Park - Rounds 1-2-3

As the new season got underway, two new teams entered the battle with Restart Racing and Duckhams Racing with Bartercard adding to Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing. Experience would shine through the damp opening weekend as Árón Taylor-Smith took home a double victory with team-mate Mikey Doble completing the clean sweep.

The third place on the podium was shared between the two new teams across the three races as Daryl DeLeon would complete the rostrum in the opening race. The pairing of Chris Smiley and Scott Sumpton would bring home a double podium for Restart Racing at their first race.

Independent Teams' Championship - Event 1

1 - Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing - 60

2 - Restart Racing - 49

3 - Duckhams Racing with Bartercard - 32

Brands Hatch Indy - Rounds 4-5-6

Taylor-Smith would bring home another double victory for Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing along with Doble completing all three victories for the Evesham-based team. DeLeon would not finishing the opening race of the weekend scoring no points for Duckhams Racing with Bartercard for the second race in a row.

Despite taking home second place for the team in race two, the no-point scores let Restart Racing build a gap in the battle of the new teams after the second race weekend of the year.

Independent Teams' Championship - Event 2

1 - Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing - 120

2 - Restart Racing - 98

3 - Duckhams Racing with Bartercard - 64

Snetterton 300 - Rounds 7-8-9

At another wet and wild weekend, Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing would once again make their experience show in the ever-changing conditions. It was a clean sweep of victories once again with Doble doing the double.

After Restart Racing edged further clear of third-place Duckhams Racing with Bartercard, the latter would not let that gap grow further with their best weekend to date. Not only being the second place team on one occasion but in all three races after a fantastic display from DeLeon.

Independent Teams' Championship - Event 3

1 - Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing - 180

2 - Restart Racing - 143

3 - Duckhams Racing with Bartercard - 115

Thruxton - Rounds 10-11-12

Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing continued to show its pace at the fastest circuit in the United Kingdom. Taylor-Smith had an impressive weekend despite a crash in qualifying hindering his weekend. The #40 would bring home a victory for the team in all three races.

Restart Racing would respond after they were outscored by Duckhams Racing with Bartercard at the previous event. Taking home second place in every race was a great response. An added bonus for the team came as DeLeon failed to score for the third place team in the opening race at Thruxton, allowing the gap to grow once more.

Independents Teams' Championship - Event 4

1 - Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing - 240

2 - Restart Racing - 194

The team would split the wins once more with Taylor-Smith taking home the first two before Doble pulled off his first overall podium of his BTCC career to bring home the final win. The overall second-place finish would be the best of any Independent team all season.

Smiley would do the honours for Restart Racing giving the team a lockout of second-place finishes for the second weekend running. The new team also had its best weekend to date in the BTCC with the Evesham-based team ahead of them also having its best event of the season.

BTCC helps forge partnership between three successful automotive brands

An industry-leading partnership between Cataclean, Kwik Fit and NAPA has been announced at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed, as the three hugely successful automotive brands struck a deal, largely thanks to a relationship built in the BTCC. 

The partnership itself sees Cataclean named as the official supplier to Kwik Fit of fuel and engine additives, whilst NAPA will distribute the product on behalf of Cataclean to Kwik Fit’s more than 700 retail autocentres.
 
Kwik Fit – the UK’s leading automotive servicing and repair company – has been title sponsor of the British Touring Car Championship since 2019 and has been a huge supporter of the UK’s leading motorsport series ever since.
 
Kwik Fit’s BTCC exhibition stand at the Festival of Speed is a perfect example of its activations around the championship, whilst this headlining B2B deal with Cataclean also highlights the myriad ways in which the BTCC provides a quality return on investment.
 
Cataclean is no stranger to the BTCC paddock of course, having supported multiple race-winner Dan Rowbottom since 2017. Rowbottom’s on and off-track drive and business acumen has been instrumental in bringing the three great brands together.
 
The brand has long been established across the UK’s automotive aftermarket sector, developing and manufacturing its fuel and exhaust system cleaner since 1995. Cataclean is an ideal product for Kwik Fit and its customers, cleaning the entire fuel and exhaust system in one simple treatment, reducing harmful emissions, improves MPG and keeps the vehicle running better, cleaner and for longer. Results, of course, may vary with age of vehicle, driving style and climate.
 
NAPA – with its 260 branches and 26 distribution hubs across the UK – has also played an integral role in the deal, being ideally placed to distribute the Cataclean products to all Kwik Fit Centres around the country.
 
ITV’s Sport’s well-known BTCC presenter Louise Goodman made the announcement at the world renowned Goodwood Festival of Speed, and was joined on-stage by Mark Slade (CEO, Kwik Fit), Mat Adams (Key Account Operations Manager, AAG/NAPA), Dan Rowbottom (Brand Ambassador – Cataclean/BTCC Driver – NAPA Racing UK) and William Jones (Sales Director, Cataclean Global Limited) to confirm details of the deal, whilst BTCC Chief Executive Alan Gow also had his say on this fantastic partnership.

William Jones, Sales Director – Cataclean, said: “We are delighted to be here announcing this magnificent partnership. At Cataclean, we have always looked at our sponsorship in motorsport from a commercial perspective and not just being a sticker on the car. This is something you have to work hard at by bringing partnerships such as this together and we would like to thank everyone at Kwik Fit, NAPA and the BTCC for playing a part in this announcement.”
 
Dan Rowbottom, Brand Ambassador – Cataclean/BTCC Driver – NAPA Racing UK, said: “This truly is an industry leading partnership, and I couldn’t be prouder in playing a part in bringing these three great automotive brands together. It also wouldn’t have been possible without our participation in the BTCC and the relationships that we’ve been able to build there. Everyone at Cataclean is looking forward to a long and prosperous partnership with Kwik Fit and NAPA.”
 
Tom Gentle, Head of Retail Marketing – Kwik Fit, said: “Kwik Fit has been Title Sponsor of the British Touring Car Championship for a number of years now and we couldn’t be happier with its return in value, whilst also helping to build new relationships such as this with Cataclean. We’re looking forward to showcasing Kwik Fit and the BTCC across four days here at Goodwood, and this long-term partnership with Cataclean is the perfect way to kick things off.”
 
Adam McNaney, UK Group Marketing Manager – NAPA, said: “NAPA Auto Parts are delighted with this deal, which further strengthens our relationship with Cataclean, Kwik Fit and BTCC. A true partnership which would not have happened without the platform of BTCC and the desire from the three brands to work together.”
 
Alan Gow, Chief Executive – BTCC, said: “The relationship between Cataclean, Kwik Fit and NAPA is the perfect example of a business-to-business relationship that can take place in the BTCC. Kwik Fit has already expressed that the BTCC is one of the best B2B environments they’ve ever worked in, not just because of this deal. Of course, we are proud of this partnership as it perfectly underlines what the BTCC is all about when it comes to business-to-business relationships.”

Following on from the season opener at Donington Park, the BTCC would take the first of two trips to the famed kent circuit and unlike Donington, the weekend was sun soaked.

Rounds 4, 5 and 6 of the 2024 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship proved to be extremely successful for four-time champ Colin Turkington, as the Team BMW star took two victories and another solid points finish at Brands Hatch.

Turkington claimed pole position on Saturday before going on to secure a commanding lights-to-flag double on Sunday afternoon, whilst reigning champion Ash Sutton has begun his title defence with six successive podiums from the first two events.

A scorching weekend roared on by thousands of fans was closed out with a hugely popular maiden win for Ronan Pearson, after the Scotsman made a stellar move for victory in the reverse grid race.

Sutton leads Turkington by two points in the overall Drivers' standings with Donington Park double winner Tom Ingram a further eight in arrears, whilst Jake Hill and Josh Cook lost ground after differing fortunes on race day.

BMW hold the lead in the Constructors’/Manufacturers’ standings, whilst NAPA Racing UK is the top team after six rounds.

Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing took a clean sweep of Independents’ victories, with drivers Árón Taylor-Smith and Mikey Doble leading the Independent Drivers’ and Jack Sears Trophy respectively.

Lights-to-flag triumph for Turkington

Team BMW's Turkington produced a textbook performance in the opening content, claiming his first victory of the season with an inch perfect drive.

A solid getaway from pole position was arguably the only challenge that Turkington faced on the soft Goodyear option tyre, as team-mate Adam Morgan became embroiled in the frenetic scrap for the positions behind the leader.

Morgan faded quickly to the lower end of the top ten before his challenge was completely scuppered following contact with Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS' Pearson on the run up to Druids.

NAPA Racing UK's Sutton had made his way by team-mate Dan Cammish into second before the positions were reversed a few laps later. Cammish, looking at a promising second place, was unfortunately dealt a blow when a puncture forced him into the pits.

So, the fight for second was eventually between Sutton and his old friend Josh Cook. There was little friendship in the fight, however, with the pair swapping paint on a number of occasions before LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ's Cook nudged his #66 Toyota Corolla down the inside of the #1 Ford Focus on the exit of Clearways.

Two wins for Turkington 

For a man that has won four BTCC titles and nearly 70 races in the UK's premier motorsport championship, this was still one of the best ever weekends for Turkington, as he secured his second impressive win of the day.

As per the first race, Turkington took the victory in commanding fashion from pole position while the rest of the pack scrapped behind for the remaining podium positions.

Those places eventually went to Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS' Ingram and NAPA Racing UK's Sutton as the BTCC's two most recent champions resumed battle.

MB Motorsport with Laser Tools Racing's Hill looked like he could've grabbed his first podium of the day as he blasted into second on the opening lap, but he faded after a scrap with Sutton and LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ's Cook, before he eventually exited the race at Druids with damaged steering.

A safety car was called for after Hill's exit and it was the race for second place that grabbed the attention. Ingram hounded old adversary Sutton and for the second successive race the latter had to eventually relinquish the place in another exciting battle.

Pearson roars to maiden BTCC victory

Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS' Pearson took a fantastic maiden BTCC win in the final encounter.

Pearson failed to get the best of starts from pole position, as Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing’s Taylor-Smith blasted into the lead, but the former was determined to win back the place as quickly as possible.

That moment came at the end of the first lap as he saw half a car width of space on the run to Clearways and he expertly fired his Hyundai down the inside of the Vauxhall Astra.

It wasn't the last time a Hyundai would attack Taylor-Smith's #40 Astra with Tom Chilton making a huge lunge down the inside at Paddock Hill Bend late on. Both cars ran slightly wide as Chilton took the place, whilst reigning champion Sutton cleverly sneaked by into third.

Sutton, who has so often kept his powder dry, secured the final place on the rostrum to make it six podiums from six starts during the first two events of 2024. There was even better news for Sutton when one of his championship rivals – Ingram – was forced to pit with a puncture.

Colin Turkington, Team BMW, said: "It's a long time since I've won two in a day – everything has just fallen into place for me.

“Those races feel really good when you're not under too much pressure. Obviously, leading any race is a pressurised situation and not knowing when the tyres may drop off, but not getting too much pressure from behind certainly makes it easier to manage things. I am really pleased that we had a great car in qualifying yesterday and that we were able to convert that into the race today.

“WSR put in a huge effort with the BMWs pre-season and we're getting the fruits of that labour. It's nice when you feel super connected to the car, and it is definitely suiting me much better."

Ronan Pearson, Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS, said: “No words! It shouldn't feel surreal, we've had the pace to be there on merit. Obviously, our day started off horrendously and it just shows we never give up as your day can turn around so quickly in the BTCC.

“I can't wait to watch that back as every noise and vibration was starting to make my heart rate go up and I thought 'no, there is nothing wrong and we are going to be OK'. The start wasn't good. It seemed equal compared to everyone else but Árón [Taylor-Smith] was off like a stabbed rat as David [Addison] would say. There was half a car width and that was mine.

“It really is lovely, for years I have watched this and dreamt of this. How hard it has been to get here, few people know. I'll have to stop there before I get too emotional!”
