The Class of 2020: New kids on the block
With the British Touring Car Championship season not getting underway until July at least as a result on the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, we’ve decided to take a look at the different cars that are lining up on the grid this season.
With thanks to both the Touring Car Register and Inside BTCC, we’re running down each of the 29 individual chassis on the grid by model so you can see exactly which cars will be doing battle once the racing action actually gets underway.
In the final part of the feature, we run down the seven remaining all-new machines that will be competing this season and that have no prior history – just to complete the set of who will be driving which car.
