THE UK’s biggest and best motorsport series – the hugely popular British Touring Car Championship – is revving up to speed into Thruxton in Hampshire on the weekend of May 19 to May 20, and here is your chance for you to WIN a pair of weekend passes!

As the fastest track in the country, Thruxton always serves up edge-of-the-seat entertainment, and in the BTCC’s 60th anniversary year, the scene is set for a superb spectacle of doorhandle-to-doorhandle racing around the circuit’s legendary flat-out sweepers, with drivers reaching top speeds of an eye-watering 160mph.

The 2018 campaign is also witnessing something of a changing of the guard, with the championship’s veterans replaced at the sharp end by a raft of hungry young guns. Speedworks Motorsport’s Tom Ingram leads the charge heading to Thruxton, with the top eight in the title standings all under the age of 30.

In addition to the three no-holds-barred BTCC contests, race-goers will enjoy action from the Renault UK Clio Cup, Ginetta Junior Championship, F4 British Championship and Ginetta GT5 Challenge, with an opportunity to meet the stars of the show and grab a selfie or two during Sunday morning’s Pit-Lane Walkabout and Autograph Session.

More information can be found at www.thruxtonracing.co.uk/racing/btcc, with advance tickets available from just £12 for Saturday, 19 May and £28 for Sunday, 20 May,
