Last updated

Contents

The 2025 Kwik Fit [1] British Touring Car Championship (commonly abbreviated as BTCC) is a planned motor racing championship for production-based touring cars held across England and Scotland. The championship features a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded amateur drivers competing in highly modified versions of family cars which are sold to the general public and conform to the technical regulations for the championship. The 2025 season is the 68th British Touring Car Championship season, the 15th season for cars conforming to the Next Generation Touring Car (NGTC) technical specification.

This will be the first season using 100% renewable fuels, with the hybrid boost being removed and being replaced with turbo boost. While the amount of power boost will stay the same the weight will be reduced by 55 kg. In another change to the 2024 season all uses of boost will be removed from the timing screens, however will still be visible to viewers at home and at the track. [2]
