We close out our first week of looking ahead to the 2025 BTCC season with information regarding official pre-season testing and the official Season Launch event.
The 2025 BTCC Season Launch is just over two months away and will take place at Donington Park on 15th April. FREE ENTRY will be available for all spectators wishing to attend, with the fantastic Garage 39 being open for refreshments.
With two prior test days at Croft (1/2 April), also offering FREE ENTRY to spectators with refreshments also available throughout the day, the BTCC teams then descend onto Donington Park for the Season Launch of 2025.
Whilst official television and photography make up the early morning activities at Donington, it will then be full focus on the final official pre-season test with six hours of on-track action commencing from 10:00.
With each of the two three-hour sessions being split by a traditional lunch break, spectators will be able to get autographs and photos with their favourite driver during a pitlane walkabout – identical to those famously run during BTCC race weekends.
Gates will open to the public from 10:00, with Circuit Owner MSV opening its food and refreshment outlets, whilst spectators can get up close and personal with the latest line-up in the open paddock area throughout the day.
TSL will be running live timing throughout all three days of official testing so you can be right up to speed on the pre-season form guide ahead of the big kick off at the end of April.
Keep an eye across the BTCC, MSV and BARC channels for further information on each event nearer the time.
