The Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship reaches its thrilling climax this weekend at Brands Hatch with Kent’s Jake Hill in contention to be the 2024 champion.

It is going right down to the wire, with Hill and Tom Ingram tied on 365 points going into the last three races. Although there are six drivers who are still in contention to win the crown.

If that wasn’t enough, both Hill and Ingram have a record-equalling four-time champion in Ashley Sutton breathing down their necks – refusing to give up his crown without a fight. A win for the #1 Ford Focus in either of the first two bouts at Brands Hatch could throw the NAPA Racing UK star right into contention ahead of the final encounter.

The title chase has never been just a trio of contenders, however, as Dan Cammish (NAPA Racing UK), Josh Cook (LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ) and Colin Turkington (Team BMW) have remained within touching distance throughout and will undoubtedly still play their part in where the title ends up… a ‘Joker in the Pack’ perhaps?

The legendary Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit is the perfect backdrop for what is set to be one of the most dramatic title battles in memory, with its undulations and on-the-edge corners that are loved by fans and drivers alike. The Kent venue has always been the spiritual home of the BTCC, having held more races of Britain’s elite motorsport championship than any other circuit.

Will it be ‘homeboy’ Hill clinching a hard-earned maiden title in front of a hugely passionate local crowd? Could Ingram wrestle back the crown he had to relinquish to Sutton last season, or will the latter take an incredible record fifth BTCC Drivers’ title? For those that love backing an underdog… how about Cammish, Cook or Turkington to throw some late late drama into the equation?

Whatever the outcome, and whoever becomes Champion, the 2024 journey has been an unforgettable campaign, and you will not want to miss its nail-biting conclusion. This is the BTCC – the third oldest motorsport championship on the planet – and this is the race to win the most prestigious prize in British motorsport!
