The Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship, organised by the British Automobile Racing Club is ready for the Battle of Brands this weekend as the packed grid will get even closer, as the tin-top field is shoe-horned onto the tight Indy circuit.

Ash Sutton leads the way in the title race after two wins from three races at Donington last time out. Can Sutton lay another stepping stone towards his fifth and record breaking title?

Supporting the BTCC will be packed grids on a busy timetable across Saturday and Sunday. The Vertu MINI Challenge Trophy, Porsche Sprint Challenge Great Britain rejoin the action while the Caterham Seven Championship UK drivers prepare to do battle under the spotlight of the ITV cameras this weekend.

Elsewhere on the BARC schedule is the third event of the British Hillclimb Championship Presented by Nova Motorsport. Single-seaters with up to 700bhp will be unleashed onto the long and flowing Harewood hill in Yorkshire. Defending Champion Matt Ryder has won three of the four run-offs this year but is being chased hard by Will Hall and Wallace Menzies.
