Put the pedal to the metal for a high-octane, hugely entertaining motor-racing day out this September – and the outcome has never been more crucial.

Yorkshire motor-racing fans have an amazing late summer highlight to enjoy at Croft Circuit, as the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship LIQUI MOLY Race Day roars into town.

As the British Touring Car Championship sprints towards its final few races, the heat is on to find out whether NAPA’s Dan Cammish’s home circuit advantage will gain an edge over reigning champion Tom Ingram, and hotly favoured Ash Sutton, in a race to see who will lift this year’s BTCC trophy. Also vying for a podium at Croft is Barnsley’s James Dorlin racing a Hyundai for Restart Racing.

This is the UK’s premier racing championship, and Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire, just a few miles outside of Darlington, is not only the most picturesque, but also this year hosts one of the key dates on the BTCC calendar. A visit to the home of motor-racing in the north has never been more pivotal; with only Silverstone and Brands Hatch races to follow, the championship weekend on September 5 and 6 could consolidate dreams or dash hopes – and this is your chance to see every moment of the run in to the final action.

The North Yorkshire Croft Circuit is arguably the most scenic on the circuit with stunning spectator banks surrounding the technical track to enjoy the action; add to that the huge array of off-track entertainment, stalls, food outlets and fun, this is a family weekend fit for everyone. Just off the A1 and handy for access the location, as well as the top-tier talent, draws in the crowds.

The 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship has kicked off in style.. Through the opening 12 rounds we have seen seven different race winners and 11 different drivers stand on the podium, a sign that when the campaign returns at Thruxton (25/26 July), the spectacle of the UK's premier motorsport series will be one not to be missed.
