[88racing]

The relaunched Britcar Championship had already reached a grid of 13 by the time of the Autosport Show at the NEC earlier this year, but numbers have now reached 25 cars in total: 21 for the Endurance Category and 4 for the Sprint Category. The race format has changed slightly for the 2017 season, with drivers being given the option of 1 x 50 mins and 1 x 2 hr race to gain points in the Endurance Category, or 2 x 50 min races for points towards the Sprint Category. All races feature timed pitstops.

Latest Endurance category signings include Richard Burrows and Glen Finn in a Cuda Drinks Ginetta G50; Witt Gamski will share an MJC Ltd Ferrari 458 GTE; Rob Hudson pairs with Adriano Medeiros in a BMW M3 E46. In Sprint we'll see Marcus Fothergill and Dave Benett return in their Bespoke Cars Racing Porsche 911 977 Cup; Roland Hopkins and Matthew Sleigh in a VW Golf.
