The TCR UK Championship has released details regarding its upcoming Taster Day, which is scheduled to take place at Donington Park on Friday 22nd November.

Following the news that the tin top series will join the British Automobile Racing Club next year, preparations are already afoot for the 2025 season.

The taster vent will provide  interested parties the opportunity to test drive a TCR car, specifically an Audi RS3 LMS TCR Gen 2, at the Leicestershire venue.

Drivers who are already experienced in piloting TCR cars will be on hand during the event to provide guidance and knowledge of the car.

Championship officials will also be on hand during the day to provide further information about the 2025 season and to answer any queries that customers may have.

“I’m excited to offer this chance to anyone who is interested in moving up to TCR UK for 2025. This is the best way to find out how good a TCR car is at one of the best circuits in the UK,” said Stewart Lines, TCR UK Championship Promoter.

“TCR is the ideal platform for those looking to make the step up to touring car racing, and this event will provide more knowledge and insight for those looking to take the next step up in their motorsport careers.”

The TCR UK Touring Car Championship will run under the British Automobile Racing Club banner in 2025; with its calendar for next year also revealed.

The calendar for the hugely popular tin top category includes two meetings alongside the huge crowds of the British Truck Racing Championship, as well as a return to the support bill of the British GT Championship.

Next season begins with back-to-back events at Donington Park, the first of which takes place on National circuit in March before then switching to the Grand Prix layout a few weeks later in early April alongside the British GT contingent.

The Home of British Motor Racing, Silverstone, follows in May before a trip to North Yorkshire and Croft Circuit marks the halfway point in the season.

Oulton Park in Cheshire occupies the customary July date, providing a one-day spectacular for the championship before its annual summer break.

The action resumes in September when the series joins the British Truck Racing Championship for the first time in its history. This will be the first of two weekends together starting with Snetterton, using the 300 layout.

The 2025 TCR UK season reaches its climax at Brands Hatch on the first weekend of November, using the Indy circuit. Fans will be treated to a glorious end to the season as they also enjoy the British Truck Racing Championship’s Firework Finale over the same weekend.

Stewart Lines, Championship Promoter, said: “We are delighted to announce that we have joined forces with BARC for the 2025 season. The team at BARC showed a huge enthusiasm for the growth of TCR UK and with their platform, we are planning to move forward and deliver a really strong product for the UK market.”

Ben Taylor, BARC Chief Executive, added: “We are delighted to welcome TCR UK to the BARC family and look forward to working with Stewart and the team to grow the championship further.

“BARC has a well-deserved reputation for delivering premium race meetings for our customers and I am sure that the TCR UK grid will appreciate a new level of professionalism and enjoy better value for money for their series.”
