How to Watch: Croft crucial to BTCC title fighting return

After a short summer break, the circuit racing calendar for the British Automobile Racing Club is alive and kicking. Last week we were in Zandvoort for our annual away day – now we restart the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship with our very own jewel of the north – Croft – hosting Britain’s premier racing series.

There is a titanic clash between Ash Sutton and Tom Ingram brewing at the top of the table, but Croft is always one to help shake-up the race to the title. Can the chasing pack of Dan Cammish, Dan Rowbottom, Jake Hill and Adam Morgan slingshot their way up the order after the three rounds in Yorkshire?

Joining us in the trip up north will be fellow BARC championships – Vertu MINI Challenge, Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain and a guest series in the shape of the rapid Legends. Plenty for all tastes and interests!

Look Back: Croft welcomes the BTCC

The Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship returns to action after the summer break – with drivers ready to ignite the title tilting battle. Will it be Ash Sutton for a record-breaking fifth, or is Tom Ingram hoping to double-up his own crown count.

With plenty of points on offer, expect a whole host of drivers to claw their way into the fight and be in with a shout at the finale too. Croft always helps to shape BTCC the season. But why is it a special place? Let’s take a look back.

Croft is nestled in North Yorkshire – just a stone’s throw from Darlington. The former airfield is relatively flat – but does provide close, hard-fought racing on the technical circuit. The 2.127 mile venue first hosted the British Saloon Car Championship back in 1968 with the likes of Gordon Spice, John Fitzpatrick, Roy Pierpoint and eventual champion Frank Gardner doing battle.

That initial stint lasted until 1971, with a major Croft regeneration for competitors and spectators following in the seventies and eighties. To bring it in line with other venues, the circuit went through extensive work including investment in the pits paddock and circuit itself. With a deprived north of England tin-top following chomping for saloon car action – the return of the BTCC in 1997 was a hugely popular move.

Welcome Back

In the height of the Super Touring era – with eight manufacturers locking horns with each other, the championship made its way to Croft. Current ITV4 pundit Tim Harvey, who was driving for Peugeot in the 1997 season remembers the first meeting back fondly, talking to BARC a few years ago.

“It was certainly an interesting one. The one thing no venue can control is the weather, and Croft didn’t drain well back in those days – it’s much, much better now – but it’s testament to the circuit’s strength-of-character that the race meeting went ahead and went well, and Croft has remained a favourite on the BTCC calendar ever since.”

But why is it so popular with the drivers and spectators? “Croft always generates great action, with plenty of opportunities for overtaking and, dare I say it, incidents! It’s a difficult circuit to master; the first half of the lap is a high-speed challenge, before you get to the Complex, where you need to slow it all down. There’s a bit of everything, which is what the drivers really appreciate.”

That first meeting for the BTCC in 1997 saw a dominant display from Alain Menu – driving for the Williams Renault team. The Swiss ace put it on pole twice and won both races, oh
 and captured the fastest lap in the second race. It was some performance from the Laguna driver, with only Gabriele Tarquini able to stop the clean sweep as the Italian punched in the fastest lap in race one for Honda.

Jordan joins the winners circle

Fast forward now to 2010. Manufacturers were still present in the BTCC with Chevrolet, Honda dominating the order, but a thorn in their side was a young Andrew Jordan who was constantly hounding the top spots in his Triple Eight run Vauxhall Vectra. The 2013 BTCC Champion took his first ever championship win in 2010 and backed that up with another win in 2014.

Subaru drivers simmer

In 2016, who can forget the clash between the two Subarus of Jason Plato and Colin Turkington. More on Colin shortly.The two character extremes came to blows after a coming together on track. A late lunge from Plato into Tower on Turkington held them both up, allowing the BMW of Rob Collard to nip up the inside and benefit from two position gains. It took a while for things to melt after that icy encounter between the Levorg drivers!
Sutton takes to the top step

Also in 2016 a star was born. In the MG6, a young Ash Sutton in his debut season got his elbows out in a rain soaked final race of the day to seal his first win in the demanding touring car championship. He has since gone on to win a further six races at the northern England circuit with further wins coming in the Subaru Levorg and more recently the NAPA Ford Focus.

‘King of Croft’ – Colin Turkington

Colin Turkington the undisputed King of Croft. The Northern Irishman has an incredible 15 wins with the first coming at the wheel of a front-wheel-drive Vauxhall Astra Sport Hatch in 2005. Infact his first ever BTCC podium was at Croft in 2002 in the Atomic Kitten-backed MG. The Yorkshire circuit really does hold a special place for Colin, with the remainder of those victories coming in rear-wheel-drive machines – a drivetrain suited to the start-stop nature of the more technical sections.

A further 14 wins in Subarus and BMWs propelled him to the top of the all time winners list at the Yorkshire venue. His most recent coming only last year. Will Turkington return in 2026 or is that marker ready to be reeled in by Ash Sutton? If Sutton was to win all three races in a weekend it would take him another two and a bit seasons to pass another four-time champion! We will wait and see!

Who will be the King of Croft this weekend? Tickets are available on the gate or online at https://croftcircuit.co.uk/racing/btcc – you don’t want to miss out!

TOCA ends association with Junior Championship organisers

TOCA has today (July 31) confirmed it has set aside its contract with the organisers of the previously proposed TOCA Junior Championship.

David Beecroft and his organisation were appointed to produce, regulate and manage the new series, with an initial competition start date set for 2025. The championship was later postponed by a further year.

Subsequently TOCA has taken this decision to terminate the contract.

TOCA will now be reviewing expressions of interest for a potential Junior Championship for 2026 onwards.

Gurston Down hits the 400 barrier this weekend

Milestones should always be celebrated, especially ones of such magnitude. The British Automobile Racing Club South West Centre is holding its 400th meeting at the Gurston Down hillclimb this weekend (2nd August) – a tremendous achievement by the team based at the Salisbury venue.

Gurston Down is a unique venue on the hillclimbing calendar. As well as being known for its Karousel corner and Deer Leep yump – its one of only a few hills in the country that goes down before it starts to climb – a thrilling experience for the thousands of drivers and riders who have lined up for a timed run since its first event in 1967.

Gurston Down’s Press Officer, Tony Record picks up the story. “Tony Marsh, a multiple British Hillclimb Champion, was the inspiration and driving force behind the creation of Gurston Down. He managed to persuade the Hitchings family to allow him to design and build a course on Gurston Farm.”

“Our first event was held in July ‘67. The course is set at 1057 yards or 957 metres in length. It is narrow and fast at the beginning, before getting twistier at the top. The hill record has tumbled over the years as machinery and tyres have developed – with the current hill record being held by Alex Summers in his DJ Firestorm – stopping the clock at an eye watering 25.00 dead. That’s an average of over 85 miles per hour from a standing start!”

“The hill has become a firm favourite destination for many drivers across the country. Gurston has featured on the British Hillclimb Championship since 1971 and held 129 rounds of the British Championship and features once, sometimes twice in a typical calendar year.

“The team at Gurston Down are proud of their venue and the experience they offer. So much so, the BHC has awarded Gurston nine Norrie Galbraith Awards over the years – the honour bestowed to the best run and organised event in the British Hill Climb Championship each season. No other hill has achieved that many accolades.

The Marsh family, who were so instrumental at the beginning of the journey are still actively involved today with Tony’s sons, Peter and Simon – both hands on with the hill. Peter’s company Turbo Dynamics is the hill and championship sponsor at Gurston, while Simon is a tutor at our hillclimb drivers school.”

The 400th meeting on the 2nd of August is a full and packed affair with variety at every turn in the paddock. Over 130 cars will be present and 30 motorbikes will line-up for the latest round of the ACU Hillclimb championship.

“Reaching the 400th Hillclimb event at Gurston Down is a remarkable achievement and is testament to the dedication and passion of everyone involved at BARC South West,” enthused Ben Taylor, CEO British Automobile Racing Club.

“Gurston holds a unique place in BARC and British motorsport history, not just for its challenging course and picturesque setting, but for the community that has grown around it over nearly six decades. We’re incredibly proud of the team and what they’ve built, and we look forward to celebrating this milestone with competitors, volunteers and spectators this weekend.”

Gates open to spectators on Saturday at 08:15 with practice runs starting at 08:30. Competitive runs will then follow at around 13:00. Tickets are available on the gate. We look forward to welcoming you to the big 400 at Gurston Down this weekend.

Dutch delight as BARC delivers weekend to remember at Zandvoort

The British Automobile Racing Club kicked off the second half of the 2025 season in style this past weekend (July 26/27) as a number of championships made their mark at Zandvoort in the Netherlands.

Making a second visit in as many years to the home of the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix, a number of single-make categories not only took centre stage but also delivered a blockbuster show – with plenty of thrilling wheel-to-wheel moments putting fans on the edge of their seats.

Spoils were shared in the Wera Tools F4 British Championship certified by FIA however it was Fionn McLaughlin that ultimately ended up as the big winner as he managed to extend his advantage at the top of the standings.

The Hitech TGR driver’s chief title rival Martin Molnár was victorious in a frenetic opener however McLaughlin went on to crucially outscore the Virtuosi Racing driver in the remaining two, somewhat chaotic, contests.

Fortec Motorsport’s Ary Bansal became the tenth different winner of the season as he reigned supreme in race two before Red Bull Junior McLaughlin came to the fore in a frenetic finale, winning for the third time this year whilst Molnár failed to finish.

Caterham Motorsport had a significant presence at the Dutch track and it proved to be a family affair in the Bilstein Caterham Roadsport Championship as Charlie Harris and William Harris each claimed a hard-fought win apiece.

Over in the Edge Caterham Seven 270R Championship, Louis Darling staked his claim as a force to be reckoned with as he marched towards a brace of race wins. Darling had to play second fiddle to Ben Wheatley in race one but after that he wasn’t to be stopped in races two and three.

Remarkably, Darling’s first win in race two came after a breathtaking run to the chequered flag which resulted in him pipping Nick Sampson to top spot by just 0.003 seconds.

Taylor O’Flanagan underlined why he remains the driver to beat in the Vertex Caterham Seven 310R Championship as he produced a flawless performance to snare pole position in qualifying and then go on to win all three races.

Rounding out the Caterham Motorsport action were a trio of races from the Dutch Barn Vodka Caterham Seven Championship UK – all of which were staggeringly decided by less than a tenth of a second.

Race one saw Matthew Armstrong get the better of Aaron Head by 0.030 seconds before Harry Senior came out on top of a back-and-forth battle with Harry Cook to win race two by 0.041 seconds. Armstrong then beat Senior to first place by 0.092 seconds in race three.

Also in action over the course of the weekend was the P4 Emergency Lighting Caterham Graduates Championship. Amalgamating the Sigma 135 and Sigma 150 classes together, those watching at the track and online were able to savour a bumper 39-car grid battle it out for supremacy.

James Emson and Max Haynes emerged as the class of the field as they both took a win apiece, doing so in some fashion too as they both broke clear of the chasing pack and scrapped amongst themselves for outright honours.

British F4 title run-in set to begin at Zandvoort

The 2025 British Automobile Racing Club supported Wera Tools F4 British Championship is now on its final approach. The ten event, thirty round calendar is about to tip into the second half of the season, as the championship heads overseas for only the second time, with a return to Zandvoort in the Netherlands next up.

Last time out the young, upcoming drivers climbing the single-seater ladder got to experience the thrill of driving at Silverstone during the British Grand Prix weekend – in front of big crowds, a busy race schedule and the watchful eyes of F3, F2 and F1 team owners. Although a non championship, invitational weekend, the title protagonists now return to the business in hand – the fight for important points as the British F4 series heads from one Grand Prix venue to another, with the home of the Dutch Grand Prix next on the billing.

Leading the charge and one of the revelations of the season has been rookie Fionn McLaughlin from Ireland. With two wins to his name so far, McLaughlin leads the standings by five and half points thanks in part to a further four podiums in the opening chapter of the season. The Red Bull-backed driver is being chased hard by the consistent Martin MolnĂĄr. The Hungarian may only have a Thruxton win to his tally in 2025, but the 2024 Rookie Cup winner is setting his sights on the big prize this year and his methodical approach has put him right in the hunt for the number one spot come Brands Hatch in October.

Australian James Piszcyk is hanging onto the coattails of the two in front. The Rodin Motorsport driver has the same amount of wins as the front two combined, but the man from the land down under has two retirements to his name – hampering his overall leaderboard position. With plenty of points on offer, he could well pull himself into the slipstream and make a move for top spot before the year is out.

Top British driver, Henry Joslyn has yet to stand on the top spot, but six podiums has earned the Fortec driver a solid fourth in the standings. Nestled just behind him is August Raber. Despite the Swede clinching victories at Snetterton and a Donington double, the Argenti star has had a yo-yo season with retirements and outside of points finishes preventing him to challenge the drivers at the summit. With plenty of points on offer, the speed is there, if the consistency can follow – he will be a threat for the title.

As will British drivers Tommy Harfield and Thomas Bearman who are beginning to turn the screw and light up the show with recent performances. The pair sit sixth and seventh in the standings respectively and with a podium for both in the Silverstone showpiece earlier this month they will be on a high coming into part two of the championship.

Other drivers who have turned on the performance this year include Adam Al Azhari who has taken wins at Silverstone and Snetterton, Leo Robinson at Thruxton and Chase Fernandez at Donington. All know how to win and lead from the front and will be battling to add more silverware to their trophy cabinets.

One driver to keep an eye on for the future is 15-year-old Salim Hanna who parachuted into the series at Thruxton and scored points in all three races on his debut and won the final round at Britain’s fastest circuit. He did the double at the British Grand Prix supporting event at Silverstone. Remember the name. Those results could well give him the confidence for more glory if he returns for future rounds. We will have to wait and see


So what can we look forward to on track? Well, close single-seater racing with the next generation of talent at the wheel – it reminds us of the Formula Ford days of old. There are rounds at Zandvoort, Knockhill, Donington Park GP, Silverstone National and Brands Hatch GP still to come. How competitive is the series? Very! 30 drivers have registered for the championship with half of those standing on the podium at some point this year. We have also had nine different winners from five different teams and we aren’t done yet!

Next up is Zandvoort in the Netherlands for the BARC circuit racing away day (26-27 July). You can follow all the F4 racing action along with the best from Caterham Motorsport and Caterham Graduates racing series live on YouTube channel with dedicated LIVE streams on both days.

BTCC reveals updated technical regulations from 2027

The British Touring Car Championship has announced its technical regulations for the next five-year cycle, with this latest evolution set to commence at the start of the 2027 campaign.

This season marks the 15th year since the NGTC regulations were first introduced, with the aim of them being to reduce costs and promote greater parity among competitors. 

Despite there being one remaining year of the existing specifications, series organisers TOCA has put together an evolution of these successful regulations for a further five years – running up until at least the end of 2031.

The goal of the new regulation cycle was to protect the assets of teams by maintaining eligibility for existing machinery, whilst introducing additional car and engine options, thereby expanding opportunities.

From 2027, providing that the vehicle brand is sold within the UK, then any model from that brand can be entered – as long as the car is originally equipped with an internal combustion engine as its primary means of motive power and, of course, conforms to the size and body regulations as per currently.
 
This change will allow a wider variety of cars to enter the BTCC, thus providing teams with greater flexibility and availability in choosing models that fit their goals, as well as giving spectators the experience of seeing cars compete that they may not have seen before.

In addition to that, TOCA has unlinked the engine requirements to each respective car, meaning that any BTCC-homologated engine can be used – not necessarily that from the original manufacturer of that specific car. 

Registered BTCC engine builders will also be bound to supply its engine to any interested team(s) if requested, although no engine supplier can provide more than 50% of the entered cars – with the exception of the TOCA engine, which is always made available to all teams.

Opening up engine availability and supply will enable teams and engine builders to more easily select their optimum base engine and share development costs.

A number of other technical regulations have received modest amendments with the full document due to be released over the coming weeks.

“We’re pleased to announce the BTCC’s technical regulations for the next five-year cycle, to commence in 2027, and I thank all our teams for their invaluable input over the last two years to bring them to fruition,” said Alan Gow, BTCC Chief Executive.

“Every team wanted the BTCC to continue with the evolution of our great technical regulations
 that was unquestioned. Therefore, our current stakeholders now have the assurance that their major components and capital investment will remain valid through 2031. 
 
“This evolution of the regulations also provides teams with more options, through opening the door to a host of new models and engines that can now be eligible for the BTCC.
 
“We value these successful regulations, which will have largely been in place for almost 20 years at the conclusion of this next cycle. The BTCC technical regulations, like the BTCC itself, is a true British success story.”

Foxy’s at 30 – Three decades of volunteering

1995
 Pierce Brosnan stepped into the role of James Bond, the Britpop era was at its height with Blur going toe-to-toe with Oasis, while Blackburn Rovers lifted the Premier League title. Meanwhile, a young Chris Fox, or Foxy as he is known to many in the club, volunteered to marshal at Sleemans corner at Bouley Bay for the first time. 30 years on – Foxy has become a regular fixture on the officials list – helping the team to put on four hillclimbs each year. We let Chris pick up the next part of the story
 how did it all begin?

“I remember going down to Bouley Bay as early as 1975 or 1976 to watch, and then I used to go and watch friends compete as I got older, but it wasn’t until 1995 I started to volunteer and help out. I was doing the Jersey Rally and offered to marshal for someone for a couple of hillclimbs, who would in return marshal for me on the rally. Something I still do to this day. I wanted to marshal there as it was my favourite part of the hill, and soon after I was given more and more responsibility – and now look after the Sleemans section of the hill.”

But why was it Sleemans in particular?

“The vantage point at Sleemans – I think it’s one of the best on the hill. You are high up on the bank and you can see quite a lot of the course as riders and drivers come out of Cafe, into Sleemans and off into Les Platons corner. Somebody kindly laid down a concrete plinth for my chair and I also have a banner now which has: Foxy’s since 1995. It’s my home and I love it and I think I would be scared to go anywhere else now!

“I have only missed two events, and I have been lucky enough to compete once on a racing scooter I used to have. I really wanted to say, I had done one and to see what it was like as a competitor – I loved it, but love my place on the bank.”

Foxy has seen it all, from first time competitors to the British Championship hopefuls and everyone in between. Infact, the Jerseyman has seen all but one record set on the hill – quite impressive when you think about it. So in those 30 years – has anything stood out?

“One of my highlights was seeing Guernsey driver Andy Priaulx take the hill record. The atmosphere was incredible, and as a Channel Islander you felt proud. You could see he was just special behind the wheel and to see what he went on to go and do in motorsport speaks for itself.

“But, I think the thing I love is being fortunate enough to witness different generations from the same family compete. For some families they are now into their third generation which is very special for me.”

Now hitting the magic milestone of 30 what does the future hold for Foxy at Sleemans?

“Things have changed in my life over the years, but Sleemans has been the contestant, and I love doing it. I love the respect from the competitors, giving advice to newcomers and enjoy the company of those joining me on the bank. I am only 63 and fit and well, and will keep doing this for as long as I can keep climbing the bank – that is for sure.”

We would like to thank Chris for his 30 years of incredible service to motorsport at Bouley Bay. We would also like to extend our appreciation to every official, marshal and volunteer helping today and all season long. Thank you!
