What's happening to the BTCC.
Ive seen multiple driver announcements around retirement. Plato has made some cryptic statements recently. Are we about to see a big shake up?
2026 BTCC Race Weekend Thread - Brands Hatch GP, Rounds 28-30 (Finale)
Thank you to everyone who’s followed along and posted on these threads through this year! They seem to be getting steadily more popular which is great.
Qualifying streamed on Saturday from 13.50 on the ITV Sport Extra YouTube channel (haven’t seen anything to say the Saturday support races will be broadcast this year yet). Race day broadcasted from 10.30 on ITV.
A 23 car grid, with Ricky Collard (Vertu Hyundai) replacing his replacement Osamu Kawashima. Ash Sutton and Dan Cammish (NAPA Fords) are both using special liveries, and so too Daryl De Leon (WSR). Tom Chilton has confirmed his BTCC retirement so this will be his last BTCC meeting, as has Sam Osborne. Long-time member of the ITV broadcast team Louise Goodman will also be departing.
Ash Sutton clinched his 5th championship last time out, as did Alliance/NAPA Racing in both the Teams and Manufacturers standings, whilst Dexter Patterson wrapped up the Jack Sears Trophy. The independent drivers and teams championships are still to play for - see the graphic in the comments for all the championships still to be won - whilst Tom Ingram and Dan Cammish fight for 2nd overall.

Support races: Porsche Carrera Cup, Porsche Sprint Challenge, F4, MINI JCWs and Caterhams Sevens. Of those, Porsche Sprint, MINI and Caterhams are in the closest contention.
TLDR: Ash Sutton has already clinched the title, so this weekend will focus on the battle for 2nd (Tom Ingram VS Dan Cammish) and the independents championships.
Identifying Signatures (2010ish)
Hi there,
I’m not a keen follower of the BTCC so I’m not totally clued up but I wondered if you guys could give me some help with this.
I recently discovered this hat in my storage that I got when my Dad took me to Donnington to watch touring cars. Not totally sure if it was the full btcc but I remember Plato was there. I must have been about 6 when I went.
I’m guessing the year was anywhere between 2009/2011 though I’m not completely sure. I just wondered if anyone knew who these signatures belonged to since I’ve never known?
Thanks in advance :)
