The British Automobile Racing Club has just two rounds remaining on its 2025 calendar – and this weekend is set to be a blockbuster penultimate weekend.
The traditional fireworks weekend at Brands Hatch always goes off with a bang and is the biggest national motorsport weekend of the year with five overall titles and several class titles to be decided, right here, right now.
Headlining the meeting are the Big Rigs – the British Truck Racing Championship. Both Division One and Division Two categories are up for grabs over the final five races of the year.
Those with a love of tin-tops – the lure of Brands Hatch will be too great this weekend as we have not one, but four saloon and hot-hatch series to be decided. TCR UK tops that billing, while the Civic Cup, Vertu MINI Challenge Trophy and Junior Saloon Car Championship all have to be decided before the weekend is out.
Always out in force is the eclectic mix from the Track Action Racing Club – who will have two races across the weekend to determine who will take home the last pieces of silverware in 2025.
