This weekend is set to be one of the busiest yet for the British Automobile Racing Club. Organising teams will be spread across two UK favourites with the home of UK motorsport Silvestone and the home Welsh motorsport – Pembrey the host venues for a bursting to the brim timetable this weekend.

Pembrey in South Wales hosts its first BARC weekend, with the big hitting British Truck Racing Championship leading the charge, with five races across the two days. In support will be further bouts for the 2CV Racing Club, Classic Touring Car Racing Club and MG Owners Club.

Silverstone will welcome the BARC competitors to the National layout this weekend with TCR UK ready to put on a show in their three races. Adding to the Tin Top flavour is the Civic Cup, Track Action and Junior Saloon Car Championship with the MINI Challenge Clubsport making its 2025 bow. Also kicking off its season will be the Heroes of FF1600, who will take to the track for the first time this year.
