HISTORY Of BTCC
The British Touring Car Championship began in 1958 as the British Saloon Car Championship, created to give manufacturers and drivers a national stage for racing production-based cars. From Minis and Ford Cortinas to American muscle cars, the early years produced some of the most memorable machinery in British motorsport.
As the regulations evolved, so did the cars and the competition. The 1980s saw the arrival of iconic machinery including the Rover Vitesse, BMW M3 and Ford Sierra RS500, while drivers such as Andy Rouse, Win Percy and Chris Hodgetts made their mark on the championship. By 1990, the BTCC was ready to enter a new era with a move towards a two-litre formula.
