TCR UK Touring Car Championship and Milltek Civic Cup will run under the British Automobile Racing Club banner in 2025, with the prestigious Touring Car series and popular Civic Cup joining other celebrated tin-top racing classes this season on the action-packed BARC racing calendar.

Sitting alongside the likes of the Kwik Fit British Touring Championship, Vertu Mini Challenge JCW, Super Tourer Series and Junior Saloon Car Championship – TCR UK and Milltek Civic Cup swell the saloon car offering and competition opportunities from the British Automobile Racing Club.

TCR, the exciting global door-to-door racing format launched in 2014, provides a platform for cars built to a homologated specification to compete on a level playing field with carefully calculated balance of performance (BoP). The 1.75 to 2-litre machines also run on a controlled Goodyear tyre in the UK series and controlled fuel through Carless Racing Fuels and Vital Equipment – this also helps to ensure competitive, fair and close racing all season long.

The Milltek Civic Cup – the home to the pocket-rocket Honda Civic is another welcome addition to the touring car schedule. The series is one of the most closely fought championships in the UK, with the Japanese hot-hatch providing entertaining racing for competitors and spectators alike, with many drivers feeding into the Civics from the popular BARC Junior Saloon Car Championship.

Both series will get underway on the opening race weekend for BARC on the 22/23 March at Donington Park on the National layout before a return visit a fortnight later for TCR UK to tackle the Grand Prix variation – supporting the British GT championship, while the Civics will take on an additional battle at Brands Hatch.
After the Donington double for TCR and Kent commitment for the Civic Cup, the calendar is followed by trips to Silverstone, Croft and Oulton Park before the summer recess for both categories.

Then they both enter the business end of the season – sharing the billing with the British Truck Racing Championship at Snetterton 300 in September before the season finale and teaming up with the trucks once again at Brands Hatch for a potential title decider on the Indy layout before a Firework finale takes to the skies.

Adding to the competition incentive, TCR UK champion, Gen 1 Cup Champion and Goodyear Diamond Award winner from the TCR championship will all be invited to test one of the front-running Kwik Fit British Touring Cars – thanks to Maximum Motorsport and Goodyear.
