Brands Hatch set for 2026 BTCC Season Launch

The 2026 BTCC Season Launch is only a few days away, taking place at Brands Hatch (8 April) with FREE ENTRY available for all spectators wishing to attend.

Whilst official television and photography make up the early morning activities at the Kent venue, the day will swiftly switch focus to 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.

Keep an eye on the BTCC and MSV channels for further information on the final day ahead of the 2026 championship.
