New 27-race 2020 BTCC calendar announced | GRR
TOCA has announced that the 2020 BTCC season will now kick-off on the first weekend of August with 12 races held in the first month. The entire season will be made up of 27 races at nine tracks across the country.
The season opener will see three races held at Donington Park on August 2nd before moving to Brands Hatch the following weekend for another triple-header.
A one-week break is followed by action at Oulton Park and then Knockhill before the frantic first month draws to a close. Four more meetings will be held in September and October at Thruxton, Silverstone, Croft and Snetterton.
The season finale will still take place on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit but now over the weekend of November 14th/15th. Given the time of year, the weather may add a dose of unexpected excitement into the racing. Colin Turkington will be looking to secure a fifth BTCC drivers’ championship in the BMW of West Surrey Racing.
