BTCC to introduce Saturday qualifying race for 2026 season

TOCA – organisers of the British Touring Car Championship – have today (October 24) announced that it will introduce a qualifying race for all cars on the Saturday afternoon at each race weekend of the 2026 season.

Following the championship’s end-of-season meeting with all competing teams, the UK’s premier motorsport series discussed a number of topics – one of which was the idea of a new qualifying contest.

The precise format of the race is still to be finalised however the final classification, which will be the culmination of separate free practice and qualifying sessions on Saturday, will determine the grid positions for race one on Sunday.

As has been the case since 2004, Sunday’s track action will continue to comprise of three rounds of racing from the BTCC.

Fans will be able to continue watching the action on Saturday live in the UK and around the world via the ITV Sport YouTube channel.

Additional unrelated tweaks to the regulations are also set to be announced in due course following the annual end-of-season meeting between TOCA and all competing teams.

Alan Gow, BTCC Chief Executive, said: “A qualifying race on Saturday is another exciting introduction to the BTCC ahead of the 2026 season, and promises to be a hit among drivers, teams, fans and stakeholders.

“The addition of some short, sharp racing action on Saturday will certainly spice things up ahead of our hugely popular three-race Sunday format and will provide a further great spectacle to the weekend show for everyone.”

Pre-83 Touring Cars to race on BTCC support bill at Oulton Park

The Classic Touring Car Racing Club is set to make a triumphant return to the support bill of the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship in 2026, with the Pre-83 Group 1 Touring Cars competing at Oulton Park on June 6/7.

Following on from the successful appearance of the Pre-66 Touring Cars contingent on the BTCC package at Croft in 2024, the Pre-83 Group 1 ranks – which has seen bumper grid numbers this year – will now take centre stage alongside the UK’s premier motorsport series.

“We’re thrilled to have secured another guest slot on the British Touring Car bill,” said Stuart Caie, Classic Touring Car Racing Club Chairman. “This is testament to the fantastic show our Pre-’66 Touring Cars put on at Croft last year, and the hard work of all our club members and volunteers.

“It’s only fair that we share around the opportunities to race at such a high-profile event. This time it’s the Group 1 Touring Cars that have a chance to race in front of the BTCC crowd at Oulton Park and we just know they’ll provide superb entertainment.”

At least one race from the series will be broadcast live on ITV4 and ITVX over the course of the event, making it a landmark outing for the popular multi-class category.

Britcar expands eligible car list for 2026 season

The British Automobile Racing Club supported Britcar Endurance Championship has seen an exciting year of competition, and with one round still to run next month – the title is still up for grabs. And the most exciting part. The title can be won by cars from multiple categories.

After a hugely successful 2025, with entries averaging around 30 cars for each round, the Britcar Management team have received speculative enquiries throughout the year and along with a review into the exciting class structure have proposed a few changes heading into the 2026 season.

Chief amongst those will be adding younger cars into the Challenge class, thus allowing cars like the Porsche 992 Cup, Lamborghini Super Trofeo and Ferrari 296 Challenge – pitting them against the existing class front runners including the Porsche 991 Cup and Ferrari 488 Challenge.

In a statement from Britcar Endurance Management, “Cars across this class will be balanced initially using similar mechanical balancing as found in other championships, then we will use our successful pitstop duration balancing process to give all competitors in the class an equal shot at success.

“Across the grid there will be a consolidation of the classes to merge the more lightly supported classes with the stronger ones. This will reduce the overall number of classes but will give everyone a bigger pool of competition to battle with on track. Cars will initially have a mechanical balance to bring them into the window of the other cars in their class, with performance fine tuning via the mandatory pitstop lengths.”

Also for 2026, it has been confirmed that all cars in the Britcar Endurance Championship will be running on the Goodyear Slick and Wet Racing tyres.
We look forward to 2026, but until then there is a championship to decide. The final round of the 2025 season will take place at Brands Hatch – with the final round going into the darkness, with the championship decided on the 8th November.

MINI CHALLENGE confirms taster day at Snetterton

Organisers of the Vertu MINI CHALLENGE have confirmed that the championship will once again run a post-season taster day for those drivers that are interested in joining the grid in 2026.

Taking place at Snetterton on Monday 1st December, the event will see a number of MINI CHALLENGE approved teams in a variety of cars that span the JCW, JCW Sport and Cooper classes.

MINI CHALLENGE officials will be in attendance throughout the day at the Norfolk venue to provide additional information on the series, and to answer any questions or queries that potential drivers may have.

“The taster day was a new idea last year and it was one that proved to be hugely successful,” Championship Co-ordinator Rhea Beauchamp said.

“We saw a number of drivers sign up to compete in the championship on the back of sampling a car during the taster day, so if anyone is interesting in joining our grids in 2026, this is a fantastic opportunity to see more about what the MINI CHALLENGE is all about.”

The last dance for Kiwi Allan Scott

It’s not everyday we get to see somebody’s last ever motor race. At Silverstone earlier this month, we got to see just that. New Zealander Allan Scott who at 75 years young brought down the curtain on his time behind the wheel, and has hung up his helmet for good – electing a British Automobile Racing Club event to take his final laps.

The Kiwi is the current custodian of the fabled – lesser spotted Mazda 323F Super Tourer. The halcyon days of Super Touring will be perhaps remembered with the examples from Ford, Vauxhall, Renault – maybe even Volvo and Nissan. Mazda was there and played a part in the mystique of the era. Patrick Watts campaigned the early Shell-backed 323F before Ian Cantwell took it into private hands in ‘93.

In that same season Watts was tasked to develop the ‘Rhubarb and Custard’ coloured Xedos which included a maiden pole position at Snetterton. While Watts was drafted into the Peugeot fold for 1994, David Leslie and Matt Neal stepped up to drive for the Japanese manufactuer, but the project folded halfway through the season. Ex F1 driver and ABBA drummer Slim Borgudd was lined up to race the new compact Mazda 323F in the BTCC 1995 – but the car never raced in Britain despite lapping at the media preview day.

Fast forward 30 years, the car with its current owner was taking to the track – for a special occasion as Allan’s family travelled from different places around the world to watch him take part in his final race weekend. We sat down with Allan to talk about the car and his fascinating career in motor racing.

Let’s go back to the beginning. Where did it start?

“Well, I’m from New Zealand, so we were basically special stage rallying. Then I came to the UK thinking I would do some rallying but I decided maybe it was better to actually work in this situation! I ended up staying in the UK for 16 years and I was involved in engine design and I worked for a company called TWR and helped set-up their engine division. So I did all of the Jaguar Group A and Group C engines. The last thing I did here was the first year of the Volvo in the BTCC, and then I returned to New Zealand.”

You come back across to compete in events here?

“I came over for Brands Hatch in June and now back for my final motor race at Silverstone. This was going to be the last race I ever do and then I am going to sell the car. I’m 75, the cars are quite a handful, as far as they’re quite physical – but it was something I wanted to own and drive and wanted to just enjoy it all in 2025. I’ve owned a few cars back in New Zealand. I’ve owned two of the factory Rovers. and I bought this about seven years ago and made some friends over here many years ago and they helped me run the car. I’ve got three grandchildren now and my youngest daughter has a business in Cambodia. She’s come over for the race. This is the first time she’s seen me race – so it’s all come full circle!”

Was there a particular reason which drew you to the Mazda 323 – because it’s got quite an interesting history hasn’t it?

“I knew Roger Dowson from Roger Dowson Engineering who built the car, he actually was a weekend warrior at TWR. The car came up for sale, I thought, yeah, okay – I’ll buy it. I’d owned two Rovers before, one remains in New Zealand and I sold one that came back to the UK. So it was just one of those things you do and the connection with Roger and it’s a lovely wee car, I love it.

“It was built at the end of 1994. I think it was the last Mazda that Roger built. It was built for Slim Borgudd, the ex F1 driver and session drummer at ABBA. And then something happened, the money never turned up. So the car sat for a long time. I think there was a court case over it, unfortunately. Bills not being paid, etc. Then it’s been raced probably by three or four other people in historic racing over the time. And I’ve owned it for seven years.”

You mentioned your time at TWR. You must have had some great experiences with Jaguar in Group C and the like. What was that like to be a part of that project?

“It was obviously tough at the beginning, but then the rewards came at the end. TWR was a company that grew rapidly. I started in 1979 when they were racing one car. So Tom was always probably one year ahead of where you felt you were even uncomfortable with doing something! Group C was quite a challenge because there was a fuel formula, there were a lot of differing opinions on how and where to go. I really wasn’t supportive of the V12 engine to start with, but we didn’t have many options either. Tom had someone else in Europe working on a turbo six cylinder but that never actually saw the light of day and by that time I’d been working with Zytec, and when we got to 1985 we had a fairly advanced engine management system and I think that was the key to turning the V12 into a decent engine. It was definitely the right thing because people think about and talk about the V12 to this day. It is quite the iconic engine
 and sound!”

It’s an honour for the British Automobile Racing Club to have you compete in our events, especially your last one. What was the feeling, what’s the emotional state like now?

“Well, truly, I mean, six years ago, I was going through the right hander at the end of the Hamilton straight in fifth gear, and I started the weekend going through fourth. So that says it all perhaps! By the end of the race I was just about having the confidence to grab fifth however!

“I said to my friends at the beginning of the year, I never thought that I would ever, as a 75 year old, come to Britain to race at Brands Hatch and race at Silverstone and that’s the way I’ve decided to sign my racing life off. It mightn’t be very fast, but not many people can say they’ve driven one of these amazing cars at these circuits. Silverstone means more to me than say Buckingham Palace in terms of iconic British locations. I’m lucky to be able to do this with friends and family.

BARC North Western Centre concludes campaign in style at Oulton Park

Just two race meetings now remain in 2025 for the British Automobile Racing Club following an action-packed outing at Oulton Park this past Saturday (October 11) that culminated in a further two champions being crowned.

Organised and run by the Club’s North Western Centre, the one-day event was packed with a stellar line-up of championships – all of which had plenty on the line, be it title honours or end of season bragging rights.

The CNC Heads Sports/Saloon Car Championship – which is the flagship category for the BARC North Western Centre – has delivered some exciting wheel-to-wheel moments this year and Saturday proved to be no different around the International layout of the Cheshire track.

Having been the toast of the competition for much of the year, Simon Allaway ensured he ended what has been a stellar campaign with a flurry as he guided his monstrous Lotus Esprit V8 to two final class wins and an overall victory.

Allaway has been at times in a league of his own this year however he did find himself facing stiff competition at Oulton Park from Chris Roberts. The BMW M4 driver managed to overhaul Allaway to win race one, although the latter would bounce back in race two to turn the tables.

Over in the Classic 2CV Racing Club, Nick Crispin’s long wait for championship glory finally came to an end as he produced a flawless performance to fend off the opposition and secure his maiden title in the popular one-make series.

After coming oh-so close to the crown in recent years, Crispin arrived at Oulton Park holding a slender points advantage over four other drivers – all of which held a mathematical chance of walking away as champion too.

If truth be told, the aforementioned quartet of contenders never really stood a chance on Saturday as Crispin was wheel-perfect. Snaring pole position for both races, the P2W Motorsport then charged to a brace of race wins; which in-turn cemented his place in the pages of 2CV history.

Dom Malone and British Touring Car Championship race winner Charles Rainford proved to be a formidable partnership in the Britcar Endurance Championship as they swept their way to victory in commanding fashion.

At the wheel of their AmSpeed Porsche 991 Cup car, Malone and Rainford ruled the roost in the series’ penultimate round of the season – which was 90 minutes in length – and they began by blitzing the opposition to claim pole position in qualifying.

Starting on the front row of the grid, the pair then worked in perfect harmony to finish an entire lap ahead of their nearest challenges, which was the Woodrow Motorsport BMW M3 E46 of Callum Bates.

The Junior Saloon Car Championship is set for a grandstand finish, with the destiny of this year’s title poised to go down to the wire at Brands Hatch next month.

Just one point separated Josh Selvadorai and Wilf Butler heading into the weekend, and a crucial victory for Butler in a frantic opener saw him take control of proceedings, albeit only for a short amount of time.

Race two would see Butler’s hard work from earlier in the day become undone as he suffered a crucial non-finish, all while his main rivals – Oliver Kerr and Selvadorai – finished first and second respectively.

Rounding out the day’s action at Oulton Park were two races from the Track Action Racing Club, the first of which was won by Adam Croft in his Peugeot 205 GTi before Dan Robinson came to the fore in his Honda Civic in race two.

British Truck Racing Championship shakes up calendar for 2026 season

The British Truck Racing Championship is delighted to today (October 10) announce its full calendar for the 2026 season.

Ahead of next month’s season finale, the UK’s biggest motor racing series has locked down its dates for next year, sticking to the tried and tested format of seven events and a total of 34 races.

While the circuits that the championship will visit remain the same as previous years, the order in which they will run has been shaken up by organisers Truck Sport and the British Automobile Racing Club.

Brands Hatch will provide the setting for the annual curtain-raiser in early April before the heavyweight behemoths then set course to the fastest circuit in the country, Thruxton, in mid-May.

The annual visit to Pembrey in South Wales moves to a slot in late June whilst the action at Snetterton takes place two months earlier than usual, moving from its traditional September spot to July.

Donington Park retains its customary headline position in August before the penultimate meeting of the season sees the championship hit the road to France to race at Le Mans in late September.

As has been the case for a number of years, the super-sized series will then close out its season back at Brands Hatch, where a capacity crowd is expected to see fireworks will fly both on and off the track.

Steve Thomas, Truck Sport Director, said: “We’re delighted to be able to share our calendar for the 2026 British Truck Racing Championship season, which sees a slight twist on what is a tried and tested formula.

“Continuing with the brilliant mix of circuits that have made up our calendar in recent years but along with the British Automobile Racing Club, we’ve been able to shake things up in terms of the order and ensuring we race once a month.

“We’ve seen first-hand that the BTRC is as competitive – both on and of the track – as it ever has been and I’ve no doubt that next season will see us continue to hit new, ground-breaking heights.”

2026 British Truck Racing Championship Calendar

April 4-5 // Brands Hatch Indy // Rounds 1-5
May 16-17 // Thruxton // Rounds 6-10
June 20-21 // Pembrey // Rounds 11-15
July 11-12 // Snetterton 300 // Rounds 16-20
August 8-9 // Donington Park // Rounds 21-25

CNC Heads Sports/Saloon Car Championship ready to close out season on home turf

Simon Allaway goes into the final race weekend of this years CNC Heads Sports/Saloon Car Championship with a six point lead over Carl Bennett, with a double-header and double points on offer.

Allaway has won all races other than two of the Anglesey races this season with his Lotus Esprit V8. He once again starts as the favourite for success at Oulton and has sewn up Class A already with the absence of Garry Wardle. Challenging Allaway in Class A are Ryan Nelson’s Ginetta G56 GTA, Jason Hennefer’s Ford Fiesta ST180 and Phil White’s BMW 325.

Bennett had dominated the last couple of rounds in Class D with his BMW M3. But having missed the last races, Chris Roberts is due back with his BMW M4 and mounts a serious challenge on Bennett’s title aspirations, and has still to play his joker. Class D is the best supported, with Zack Booth’s Renault Megane finally proving a glimpse of its pace at Anglesey and the return of Anthony Sullivan’s Mini JCW.

David Lawrence’s Seat Leon Cupra also proved a frontrunner on his CNC debut last time out at Oulton, while Marshal Groves’ Vauxhall Vectra could be a potential podium visitor too. David Jones’ Ford Focus, Andy Tate’s Renault Clio, Riccy Walker’s Mini and Paul Goodlad’s VW Scirocco will also be in contention, along with Jon Madoc-Jones’ BMW E46, Bob Claxton’s VW Golf GTi.

Class B has a number of drivers hoping to challenge Allaway for victory. The Modro brothers Connor and Alek in their Westfield’s have started to show results having solved their reliability issues. Alek is currently joint second in the class with Jamie Cryer’s Ginetta G20, but Bod Buckby’s Caterham leads the way by 16 points, but is the only one of the three to have played his joker.

Paul Masters’ Westfield has been out much this season after his early season engine failure, but will be out to finish the season on a high. Mark Primett’s Banks Europa, Simon Hutt’s BMW Z4 Silhouette, Deri Davies’ Darrian T90, Jon Price’s Vauxhall Tigra Silhouette and Baz Johnson’s Pontiac complete the class line-up.

While John Edwards-Parton’s Ford Fiesta XR2 is the only guaranteed starter again in Class C, Gary Warburton’s Mini Miglia is on the reserve list.

Up until fairly recently Paul Rotheroe’s Citroen Xsara VTS had led the Championship after dominating Class E. But a disastrous Anglesey cost him dearly and dropped him to fourth. His nearest challenger this weekend is likely to be Rob Phillips’ Honda Civic, while Cavan Taylor’s Renault Clio, Nick Haynes’ Ford Fiesta ST150 will be doing battle, along with shared cars for Georgina/William Bartlett (Renault Clio) and Richard/Matt Hibbert (Honda Civic Type R).

Rob Wakelin is due back out in his re-shelled Honda Civic to try and clinch Class F. But Jono Lee’s Mini Cooper and Helen Allen’s Ford Fiesta Zetec S are due to return too. Errol Taylor’s Toyota Yaris is also back out, while Louie Dobson is due to debut in a Honda Civic, having swapped from his Fiesta.

As well as Warburton, there are two other reserves, Tom Creswell with a Class A VW Golf TCR and Chris Coomer in a Class D Golf GTi.

Qualifying is at 8.45 on Saturday morning for 20 minutes, with race one at 11.25 and the finale at 15.40 both of 20 laps duration.

Baynam bows out with MGOC championship title

The 45th year of the Adrian Flux MG Owners Club championship finished in fantastic style at Silverstone at the end of last month, with a magnificent entry of 39 classic and modern MGs taking to the home of British motorsport.

Championship organiser Jim Baynam has had the task in recent years of balancing organising the series and racing his MGB in the championship. After a season long battle, the Englishman and his well traveled MG not only chalked up the Class A prize, Baynam claimed the overall crown for the first time in seven years and with it his sixth overall accolade – a record breaking milestone for the club championship.

As a stalwart of the series – Jim has raced his car every year since 1981 in the championship, and after over 500 races and 150 outright and class wins in the MGOC championship, Jim has decided that this would be his final year of full-time competition.

“After 45 years I have decided to ease off my racing commitments in 2026. I’m not hanging up my helmet just yet and will do a few selected rounds but my energy will be largely directed towards running the championship and bringing in a new generation of competitors and MG lovers”.

Jake McDermid tried to keep the McDermid name on the overall champion roster, but after an exhilarating season, he will be pleased to pick up Class Z. Previous overall champion Simon Kendrick became Class F champion, while Anthony Bate in his popular Maestro went home to Cornwall as 2025 Class B Champion.

The 45th anniversary season has been a breakthrough year for the championship, with competitive and fun racing in each and every class – with the 2025 highlight coming at Thruxton in the summer, when the Hampshire venue hosted the biggest grid of 42 cars at the Retro meeting in June.

Silverstone spoils celebrated as BARC crowns more champions

Silverstone has played host to many crowning moments down the years and this past weekend (October 4/5) proved to be no different as a number of British Automobile Racing Club championships closed out their campaigns around the Home of British Motor Racing.

On what was a title-deciding two days in Northamptonshire, the Club staged the first of several thrilling crescendo race meetings over the coming weeks – with both Caterham Motorsport and the Classic Touring Car Racing Club taking centre stage at this one.

The moobob Caterham Academy Championship – which is run for those embarking on their first year of racing – delivered one final show-stopping contest as Kyle Townend claimed the race victory and Max Richardson, the overall title.

Over in the Bilstein Caterham Roadsport Championship, Brian Thornton and Scott Helme enjoyed a share of the spoils as they claimed a win apiece however neither of them could stop William Harris from securing an unassailable lead at the head of the standings.

Ben Wheatley has by and large been the toast of the competition in the EDGE Caterham Seven 270R Championship and his season-long efforts were rewarded as he finally wrapped up the title with a race to spare.

While Wheatley reigned supreme over the course of the season, the weekend’s trio of races around the 1.850-mile International layout belonged to Louis Darling and Nick Sampson, with Darling triumphing twice.

Taylor O’Flanagan had already wrapped up the Vertex Caterham Seven 310R Championship and his notable absence from the action opened the door for Charlie Lower and Ryan Wilby to come to the fore and triumph.

Rounding out the list of Caterham Motorsport winners was Matt Armstrong, who cemented his status as the driver to beat in the Dutch Barn Vodka Caterham Seven Championship UK.

Armstrong went into weekend with a small points buffer over his nearest rival Harry Senior and victory in the opening encounter guaranteed him as champion. Not to dwell on missing out on the crown, vice-champion Senior then went on to win the remaining two races.

In the Classic Touring Car Racing Club, tin top fever was on full display and it started with Jonathan Corker and Neil Philpotts taking a hard-fought win apiece in the amalgamated Pre-66 and Pre-83 Touring Car contests.

The Super Tourers, Pre-93 and Pre-03 protagonists joined forces for two breathless bouts however nobody could stop Jason Hughes and his trusty Vauxhall Vectra from reigning supreme ahead of Ian Bower – who clinched two titles.

Elsewhere, James Janicki was a tour de force in his Nissan Skyline GTR R32, sweeping his way to both wins in the Classic & Historic Thunder Saloons and Blue Oval Saloon Series encounters.

Completing the weekend’s action were a trio of races from the MINI CHALLENGE Clubsport with Airtec Motorsport, where Jamie Ringer blasted his way to a commanding hat-trick of race wins.
