Donington Park to host 2027 BTCC Season Launch

Snetterton and Croft confirmed for official pre-season testing

TOCA – series organiser of the British Touring Car Championship – has confirmed its pre-season test dates and official Season Launch ahead of the 2027 campaign.

The first official pre-season action will get underway at Snetterton on 9/10 March, with the Norfolk circuit hosting a two-day test as teams and drivers begin preparations for the new season.

Attention will then turn to Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire, which will stage two further days of official testing on 18/19 March.

The annual Season Launch will take place at Donington Park on 31 March, bringing the championship's teams and drivers together ahead of another eagerly anticipated season.

Drivers and teams will participate in official pre-season media activities and interviews with ITV Sport, the BTCC Media Team and other championship partners at Donington Park on 30 March, although this day will be closed to the public.

The Leicestershire venue will also host the opening rounds of the 2027 campaign on 10/11 April, with the championship returning to the National circuit just ten days after the Season Launch.

The three pre-season events will provide a sustained build-up to the new campaign, with official BTCC activity beginning in early March and continuing towards the opening race weekend in April.

Further information regarding the Season Launch programme, spectator access and activities at each venue will be announced in due course.

Please monitor the official BTCC, Snetterton, Croft and Donington Park social media channels for additional information as each event approaches.
