Car Racing: News, Events and What’s Hot in the UK

If you love the roar of engines and the thrill of overtaking, you’re in the right place. This page gathers everything you need to stay on top of car racing in Britain – from race results to upcoming events and fan chatter. No jargon, just the facts that matter to you.

Upcoming Races You Can’t Miss

Britain hosts a packed calendar of car racing. The British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) rolls around every spring with street‑circuit battles at Brands Hatch and Donington. The British GT series follows in summer, mixing supercars and classic racers on tracks like Silverstone. Keep an eye on the British Rally Championship too – it brings dirt‑road drama to the Scottish Highlands.

Mark your diary for the next big dates: BTCC starts the first weekend of April, British GT kicks off mid‑June, and the rally season peaks in August. Ticket sales usually open two months ahead, so grab yours early to avoid sold‑out crowds. If you can’t get to the track, most events stream live on the official sites or on popular motorsport platforms.

Racing isn’t just about watching from the stands. The British Motorsports Hub community lets you chat with fellow fans, share race predictions, and swap tips on track day experiences. Join the forum, post your favorite race moments, and you might spot a local meet‑up for car enthusiasts near you.

Safety is a big part of racing culture. Our safety checklist covers everything from proper helmet fit to pre‑track car checks. Following these steps not only keeps you safe but also helps you get the most out of every lap.
