2023 BTCC Calendar announced

Next season’s BTCC calendar features ten rounds, the same number as 2022, as the second round at Thruxton has been dropped in favour of the return to Donington. Much of the rest of the calendar remains as usual, except for a shift in the date for Snetterton’s round.

For 2023, the BTCC season will begin with a round on the shorter, national circuit at Donington at the end of April, as has become a recent tradition, before moving on to Brands Hatch in May and its Indy Circuit. Brands had been the traditional starting point for the BTCC, but swapped with Donington a few years ago.

Teams will then move on to Snetterton, which moves to a May slot that had been taken up by Thruxton this year. The teams will then reconvene at Thruxton to start the summer with a round on 3^rd/4^th June. A swing north takes in Oulton Park (17^th/18^th June) before a gap of over a month before the teams move to Croft on 29^th/30^th July.

The calendar then takes in Knockhill in early August before the trip back to Donington Park for the bank holiday weekend as the cars return to the Melbourne loop to tackle the Grand Prix layout.

Another month-long gap splits Donington from the traditional end to the season, a visit to Silverstone’s quickfire National layout on 23^rd/24^th September and the full GP layout at Brands Hatch on 8^th/9^th October to bring the 2023 British Touring Car Championship to a close.
