Christmas is coming early this year for fans of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship, with discounted packages on tickets to the 2015 Croft race meeting on 27/28 June.

The BTCC is Britain’s premier motor sport series, and arguably the most fiercely-contested tin-top championship in the world. This year, no fewer than seven champions fought tooth-and-nail for the coveted crown, with a record-breaking 11 race-winners across the season.

2014 Champion Colin Turkington and his title-winning predecessor Andrew Jordan shared the spoils between them at Croft last summer, with plenty of high-octane wheel-to-wheel action and crowd-pleasing thrills n’ spills in all three races.

The titanic tin-top tussle will return to the demanding North Yorkshire circuit in 2015, accompanied by support series the Porsche Carrera Cup GB, Michelin Ginetta GT4 Supercup, Ginetta Junior Championship, Renault UK Clio Cup and new MSA Formula.

Better still, anybody purchasing tickets for themselves or as gifts between now and Christmas will benefit from special discounts. Race day tickets are down from £27 to £20, with weekend passes reduced from £33 to £30. Grandstand seats for a spectacular view on race day represent excellent value at just an additional £8. Accompanied children aged 15 and under are admitted to the track free of charge.

“The BTCC is Britain’s most popular motor racing championship for a very good reason – it’s pure entertainment,” explained Croft circuit manager Mike Cantelo. “The doorhandle-to-doorhandle racing is superb, the drivers are characters in every sense of the word and the support series make sure there is never a dull moment.

“It’s a real family-friendly weekend, with plenty of opportunities to meet the stars of the show and grab an autograph or ‘selfie’. Once you’ve caught the BTCC bug, you’ll want to come back again and again – so make sure you don’t miss out!”
