Update: Knockhill set to welcome fans back for the BTCC event! Read More
For over 60 years, the British Touring Car Championship has been regarded as the best saloon car racing championship in the world. Top professional race teams with some of the best racing drivers do battle at up to 140mph in a packed grid of Hondas, BMWs, Fords, Infinitis, SEATs and others. Since our first hosting at Knockhill in 1992, tens of thousands of fans have been enthralled, excited and entertained in equal measure by the professional racing drivers at the top of their game, all racing bumper-to-bumper... sometimes closer!
In 2021, this top quality event returns on August 14th and 15th as Britain’s premier racing series tackles the twists and dips of the Knockhill Circuit. It is always the racing highlight of the BTCC calendar and it can be your highlight too. Touring Cars at Knockhill provides an action-packed day of entertainment for the whole family as it's a true festival of speed with exhilarating racing action all day long.
The Kwik Fit British Touring Cars at Knockhill is one of our quality headline events of our season. It will see top teams and drivers from the UK and abroad compete for two days over the twists, dips and turns of Knockhill, often on two wheels! Exhilarating racing action is guaranteed - with practice, qualifying and 15 races to entertain and enthral over the weekend of 14th to 15th August 2021.
The unique nature of the Knockhill track promotes the closest racing of the season with cars often airborne as they attack the famous Duffus Dip and Blackcircles Chicane. This year, top drivers such as Turkington, Butcher, Sutton, Shedden and Ingram will battle it out over 72 laps around Knockhill - split into three highly-charged BTCC races on the main race day (Sunday)
Here’s how the weekend pans out - Action starts early on Saturday 14th August with warm up sessions for all classes before the fast and furious qualifying as the BTCC competitors chase the last 1/100th of a second to snatch pole position from their rivals. Saturday afternoon continues with support races but the undoubted highlight is watching a packed track of BTCC cars scrabbling to find that gap to set their ultimate lap in qualifying. Some drivers nail their lap, some over-cooking it due to the unique pressure of driving Knockhill which always throws up a mixed up grid.
On Sunday 15th August (the main feature race day) it's another action-packed day for you as it features exhilarating hard charging support class racing and three feature races for the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship. Come for the weekend or just come for the main event day, the choice is yours but what you are in for is the best of British motorsport, if not some of the best motorsport in the world, all at one of the best spectator viewing circuits in the UK!
