Croft to Host Official BTCC Pre-Season Testing
Croft Circuit will play a key role in the build-up to the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship, hosting the first official pre-season test ahead of the new campaign. BTCC organiser TOCA has confirmed that teams and drivers will head to Croft Circuit on 24–25 March 2026 for two full days of official testing, marking the first on-track action of the 2026 season.
Renowned for its fast, flowing and technical layout, Croft provides the ideal early-season proving ground as teams fine-tune cars and setups before the championship’s Season Launch at Brands Hatch on 8 April 2026.
The Croft test will be open to spectators free of charge, with refreshments available throughout both days, offering fans an early opportunity to see BTCC cars on track ahead of the new season.

Following the Croft test, official television coverage and photography will begin at the Season Launch event, with a final six-hour pre-season test taking place on the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit.
Drivers and teams will also take part in official BTCC media activity on 7 April 2026; however, this day will not be open to the public.
Fans are encouraged to follow Croft Circuit and BTCC social media channels for further updates as the events approach.
