This weekend, several British Automobile Racing Club championships and series’ will arrive at Thruxton – the fastest racing circuit in the UK and home to BARC. Andover will reverberate to the sound of several different series on Saturday and Sunday (3-4 May).

Race goers and online fans will experience wall to wall racing throughout the weekend with sports car and saloon car action across the two-days in the ‘Tops Down’ event at the Hampshire venue .

As well as the entertainment at Thruxton, the British Hillclimb Championship heads to Craigantlet in Northern Ireland for rounds three and four of the hotly contested title. The Craigantlet round can also be considered one of the homes of the BHC, as the just Belfast-based leg has been on the calendar since the championship inception in 1947.
