There’s a refreshed feel to the grid for 2026, with Plato Racing joining the championship with two Mercedes, one of which will be driven by Dan Rowbottom. Power Maxed Racing has reintroduced another German brand to the grid in Audi, while Gordon Shedden and Aron Taylor-Smith will enjoy a new look at Laser Tools Racing.

There will be some familiarity, however, with Tom Ingram lining up to chase a third crown in his Team VERTU Hyundai!

The full weekend format has received an overhaul for the new season. Sunday will retain its traditional three races, but Saturday will now include a qualifying race in addition to practice and qualifying.

The event also features support race action from Porsche Sprint Challenge GB, Porsche Carrera Cup GB, VERTU MINI CHALLENGE, the Legends Cars Elite Cup and the F4 British Championship.

Raceday tickets are just £36 if you book online in advance, with reductions for 13 to 15 year-olds and FREE entry for under 13s. Click below for more information, including grandstand and camping upgrades, and to book online.
