Best of British Weekend for BARC
We have said other weekends are big - but this one might just top the lot! On 8/9 August, we have heavy-duty action on all three fronts across the UK.
The TOCA package, led by the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship and organised and officiated by the British Automobile Racing Club, travels to Knockhill for its annual visit. Meanwhile, Convoy in the Park rolls into Donington Park with the British Truck Racing Championship leading the fleet, while the British Hillclimb Championship heads to Shelsley Walsh.
