As we draw closer to the final two race weekends of the 2024 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship, we’re taking a look back at the story so far in each of the respective championships before the final push for glory.

Continuing with the Manufacturers/Constructors’ championship, click here to see the story of the first half of the season, and read on for the most recent updates…

Croft - Rounds 16-17-18

Alliance Racing/Ford were the cream of the crop before the mid-season break and further extended its advantage over BMW at the first opportunity back. It was the latter of the two that would score the most points in the opening bout of the day, but the former would respond to leave Croft with a 15-point cushion.

EXCELR8 Motorsport/Hyundai in third would be the highest scoring outfit at the North Yorkshire circuit. After a slower start to the day a haul of 35 points in race three, which has only been bettered three times before in 2024, would close in on the team ahead by 18 points across the weekend.

The only squad to better that single race score of 35 on two occasions is Toyota, who achieved it in the second race of the day. Despite the high score, Toyota would fall further behind EXCELR8 Motorsport/Hyundai by ten points after the visit to Croft.

Knockhill - Rounds 19-20-21

The trip north of the border saw the lead of Alliance Racing/Ford slashed by more than half after a monumental performance from BMW. The championship leaders would have a consistent weekend, twice scoring 23 points and scoring 24 points in the middle race of the day.

Despite the decent haul, the second-placed outfit had such a strong weekend that would drastically dent the advantage at the front. Amassing 72 points out of a possible 74 across the first two contests, BMW would take 22 points out of first and gain 32 on third.

EXCELR8 Motorsport/Hyundai would not enjoy its first on track battle of the weekend as it posted the first single digit score of an outfit in a single race all season. Even after rescuing the weekend, it would still mean that Toyota gained 11 points with nine races remaining.

Donington Park GP - Rounds 22-23-24

Alliance Racing/Ford would once again hold onto the lead of the championship, but by only the slender advantage of two points. The outfit did not have a bad weekend by any stretch, never scoring below 20 points and walking away with a 30-point race also.

Even with the above being the case, BMW once again outshone the rest of the field to take a further chunk out of the championship lead. In the opening two races the Bavarian marque once again impressed, scoring 67 out of a possible 74 and after outscoring the leaders in every race, would sit right on the heels of the leaders with six races to go.

After being the first outfit to do so at the last event, EXCELR8 Motorsport/Hyundai would once again have a single digit scoring race. It means Toyota has closed to within six points as the championship splits into two separate rivalries with two events remaining.
