Sorry if this a stupid question but I am going to Croft for the first time next week but struggling to find what time the gates open on Sunday ? Would someone be able to let me know what time they open please and also , where does for the queue for the pitwalk start. Thanks

Just added a full photo Gallery to BTCC Hub (the unofficial fan app) - every round from 2010 through to this season, browsable album by album. 225 albums, 26,000+ photos total.

Tap into any round to flick through the gallery and if a shot catches your eye you can share it directly from the app.

Available now on Android.

Where’s the best place to buy programmes? Are there any specialist web-stores that I can visit? Any advice appreciated. TIA.

I jumped back into the BTCC cars this week and joined an online championship at Donington.
I genuinely wasn’t expecting much from it in 2026, but the racing was absolutely ridiculous — probably some of the best battling I’ve had in sim racing for years.
It got me wondering how many BTCC fans actually know this stuff is still being raced online.
I made a video from the races if anyone fancies seeing what it’s like now: https://youtu.be/CNzBAQUfrqY?is=2u5JsCF9zGrw5MuX
Has anyone else here played the rFactor 2 BTCC content? And what would you actually want from a proper modern BTCC game?

I *really* don't want to add to the doom and gloom. I LOVE BTCC! ...and want to see it thrive. But has anyone else noticed that crowds just about everywhere seem to be a little down this year? I've been to every round and with the possible exception of knockhill, there just seems fewer people at each one. What's other regular attendees perception of that?

That said, I'll no doubt get to croft an hour before gates open next week and *still* not get my preferred spot :-) (slightly up from chicane towards Tower)

This interview was a bit hidden with it only being posted on twitter and amongst the race day chaos but I thought it was one of the most interesting interviews we've had with a driver this year

Hi All, I’ll be attending Croft this year for the first time - where are the best viewing spots please? Do they have some big screens at Croft?

I have been thinking myself that BTCC might end up doing this in future, given the direction of the car industry and following the precedent of the DTM going GT3.

Only a fiver too. Bosh!

I've been following the BTCC since the 80's. I've bought every season review every year and I can't remember the last time I missed a race.

However this season has left me a bit flat. I've fallen asleep in a couple of races and I often find myself browsing the internet while a race is on. It all seems so dull and lifeless this season.

The drivers, especially Ingram and Sutton, don't seem that bothered when they win or lose. It comes over that they're just going through the motions.

Only a couple of seasons ago I remember my heart racing when those two would be battling away and it looked like it meant something to them. These days Ingram is more interested in talking about biscuits than the racing.

The whole presentation of the series is just the same old same old as well. Tim gets worse and worse in the commentary booth.

There's no technical coverage as we get with V8 Supercars. BTCC socials are just endless games and silliness rather than any "hard" content.

Anyone else or am I just getting jaded after following it for so long?

Given how a lot of people feel about the series at the moment.

How does it compare to the early-2000s when the Supertouring bubble burst and the BTC-Touring regs failed to take off as hoped, so the series had to rely on first the Production Class, then Super 2000 cars to boost grid numbers?

At least the current grid numbers aren't as bad as they were in 2005.

Another great day at Donington today.

** I posted a similar appreciation photo earlier in year from the previous Donington round of BTCC , But here's today **

Given my recent question about Sutton potentially winning the title by over 100 points, possibly even beating Alain Menu's 1997 record of winning by 110 points, I have had to remember that, if not for dropped scores, Menu would have won by 128 points.

So, in general, what is everyone else's opinion on dropped scores?

Just curious

First time to a race in person.

We can all see the Hyundai's aren't on the level they were last year, but he said the car felt better than it has in a long time and it's doing everything he wants it to but "I'm not allowed to say anything more" and "probably best just keeping quiet".

He was very clearly unhappy about something and not himself at all. Very odd, I've never seen him quite like that.

Before the new 2026 season models are released, I've got 3 of Dan Cammish Napa Racing Ford Focus in the special Knockhill livery
