British Touring Cars Championship 2013 [BTCC]

British Touring Car Championship

The 2013 season is now underway and what a season it's looking to be. The grid has been updated to some truly magnificent looking cars that'll keep the racing extremely close, much more so than last year.

Jason Plato kicked off the first round by netting pole position, something which he is looking to repeat in rounds two and three later in the day.

Disciplines

The BTCC is one of the most exciting racing series, the main reason for this being the many different disciplines that take part on the same track on the same day;

Touring Cars

Formula Ford

Renault Clio Cup

Porsche Cup

Ginetta Junior GT (+16 year old drivers)

Each race has three rounds that appear throughout the day.

Today, we're at Brands Hatch where the weather is harshly cold, leading for some very exciting racing as the tyres battle for grip on the cold surface.
