Donington Park

In 2026, Donington Park once again hosted the BTCC season-opening event, as it had since 2022, in the first of what will be two visits to the Leicestershire venue during the campaign. 

The sweeping corners and fast back section always produce great racing, as the circuit continues to build on its long and illustrious history. With picturesque views and huge spectator areas, Donington is undoubtedly one of the fans’ favourite places to watch the BTCC. Within striking distance from Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Nottingham and beyond via easy access to the M1, Donington reaches a huge fan base in the heart of England.

First visited by the BTCC back in 1977, Donington has been the scene of a host of memorable touring car moments – 2013 saw two incredible milestones for Jason Plato and Matt Neal, who surpassed 400 and 500 races respectively, while most recently it was the scene of the debut of the BTCC’s Hybrid Era in 2022.
