The British Touring Car Championship is the UK’s premier motorsport series, and if you fancy winning a pair of tickets to go and watch the high-octane action live at Thruxton on 18 August, read on.

For the first time in more than a decade, Thruxton is welcoming the BTCC twice in 2019. The championship’s first visit of the season back in May delivered thrills ‘n’ spills aplenty, doorhandle-to-doorhandle duels and seven different podium-finishers, underscoring its famously close-fought and unpredictable nature.

With the title battle reaching fever pitch, the racing looks set to be even more on-the-edge when the touring car heroes return.

With 30 of the world’s pre-eminent tin-top protagonists all disputing the same piece of tarmac around the fastest and most challenging circuit in the country, fireworks are guaranteed.

The weekend will also offer the opportunity to grab selfies and autographs from the stars of the show, while a wealth of support series showcasing the Formula 1, sportscar and touring car names of the future ensures there will be non-stop entertainment from the first lights-out to the final chequered flag.
