THRUXTON is looking forward to hosting the next round of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) on May 9/10 - and the Daily Echo has five pairs of tickets to give away.
After a breathtaking start to the 2015 campaign, with five different winners from the opening six races, multiple champion Matt Neal holds a slender two-point advantage.
The margins of victory so far this season have been less than half-a-second and Thruxton never fails to provide one of the season’s most scintillating spectacles.
Question: Who won the 2014 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship? (answers to echosport@dailyecho.co.uk by 5pm on Friday, May 1st).
AS well as the BTCC, a packed weekend programme will include plenty of action in the support series, comprising the Ginetta GT4 SuperCup, Ginetta Junior Championship, Renault UK Clio Cup and MSA Formula – the proving ground for Formula 1 stars of the future. What’s more, spectators won’t miss a second of the excitement courtesy of big screens at the Complex and Club Chicane – the circuit’s two principal viewing spots.
“Even by its own very high standards, it’s been a phenomenal start to the 2015 BTCC season,” acknowledges Thruxton Group Managing Director Bill Coombs. “The racing has been incredible, and Thruxton’s fast sweepers and flowing layout always generate plenty of opportunity for slipstreaming and overtaking – which is just what fans want to see.
“Picking a likely winner really is impossible this year, and the same can be said for the support series too, with 14 different drivers having tasted victory champagne during the opening two race meetings. We’ve worked tirelessly over the winter to improve facilities both on- and off-track here to enhance the overall experience for spectators and competitors alike.”
Advance tickets are on sale until Wednesday, 6 May, at just £10 for Saturday and £26 for Sunday. Paddock passes are an additional £7. Advance tickets can be purchased online or by calling 01264 882200 (Option 1). Accompanied children aged 15 and under are admitted free.
