BTCC confirms 'new look' calendar for 2020

The British Touring Car Championship has announced its 'new look' calendar for the 2020 season.

In a shake up from previous years, BTCC Chief Executive Alan Gow confirmed a new look schedule for next season during this weekend's Croft race meeting.

Notably, Donington Park will play host to next year's season opener, while Silverstone will host two meetings instead of one, with the second of those race weekends taking place on the International layout of the Grand Prix venue.

In a further change to the schedule, Croft will move from its traditional June slot to an August date, while Oulton Park, Snetterton and Knockhill retain their usual dates.

Instead of hosting the season opener, Brands Hatch Indy moves to the second meeting of the season, but the season finale will once again take place on the Grand Prix layout of the Kent circuit.

“I’m pleased to confirm our calendar for the 2020 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship, which has a bit of a different feel to it for next season,” said BTCC Chief Executive, Alan Gow.

“As always, we take pride in confirming our schedule this early to allow the rest of British motorsport to plan theirs accordingly.”
