Motorsport UK is pleased to confirm that Britcar has been selected to run the British Endurance Championship in 2022.

Britcar has a rich history of top-end club-level endurance racing dating back over 20 years, with its innovative formats having popularised 24-hour racing in the UK.

Recently, under a new management structure, Britcar has re-aligned its format in response to the shifting competitor demand for National level endurance racing. The popular one-day event format will remain, as will the renowned convivial paddock atmosphere that has been cultivated by competitors and Britcar’s long-serving, experienced and dedicated team.

Britcar Managing Director Claire Hedley said: “Whilst we accept the responsibility and kudos that administering a National championship involves, we aim to retain the core values that have made Britcar a continuing success over a considerable number of years, which is in no small way due to the skill of our long-serving and loyal staff; past and present.

“We are really pleased with our provisional 2022 dates and circuit venues for 2022, more details about the Championship will follow over the next few weeks. We would like to thank all our Championship sponsor Goodyear, as well as all our valued commercial partners for their continued support.”

Hugh Chambers, CEO of Motorsport UK said “Next year marks the beginning of a new era for endurance racing in the UK with the introduction of the British Endurance Championship, and Motorsport UK is pleased to be partnered with Britcar in its organisation.

“Claire and her dedicated team have built up a strong reputation over the past two decades in club racing circles and we look forward to supporting them as they take their next steps as the promoters of a national championship.

“The calendar has a number of headline dates at some of the country’s premier circuits and gives the series a strong footing for its debut campaign. I’m sure each of these venues will serve up plenty of thrills for competitors and spectators alike.”

Michael Butler, Senior Accounts Manager of Goodyear Racing EMEA said: “We have worked with the Britcar organisation since the very beginning of their journey. Their professionalism and customer-focused approach have really driven their growth in the last few years.”

“Goodyear is delighted to support their championships and the elevation to British Endurance Championship tatus raises the profile and prestige, establishing it as the biggest endurance GT and Touring car series in the country.”
