This year's Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship will again comprise 30 races across ten events at nine venues around the UK. And it will have its most successful grid in history.

For the second year in succession, a capacity 32-strong grid has been unveiled. Half of the drivers on the entry list are previous winners with an amazing 329 victories between them. There are two new manufacturer entries on the list too for this exciting season, Vauxhall and BMW. These will be joining the fray alongside Honda, Subaru and MG as well as 11 independent teams.

All of the high-octane entertainment will continue to be broadcast live, free-to-air and in high-definition on ITV4, with the championship's loyal long-term partner additionally producing extensive highlights programmes. But, for the full impact of the sights, sounds and smells of the paddock there's nothing like attending in person.

It all kicks off at Brands Hatch on the first weekend of April and runs through until 1st October
