Super Touring Power event to return in 2024

The Super Touring Power event will return for a second season in 2024 after Brands Hatch confirmed that a date has been set for June next year.

The inaugural meeting earlier this month proved to be a huge hit with fans and drivers alike, and featured four races for the popular Super Tourers from the 1990s – all of which were won by Jake Hill at the wheel of a Nissan Primera.

As was the case this year, the two-day event will see action on both the full Grand Prix circuit as well as on the Indy layout, with races planned run by the Classic Touring Car Racing Club for cars from the 1960s through to the early 2000s, alongside various demonstrations.

In an addition to the schedule seen this year, plans are being formulated to bring together a number of cars from the Group A era of the 1980s, including the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500s and BMW M3 E30.

Further details on the event – slated for 29/30 June – will be made in due course.

“The response from the CTCRC drivers has been phenomenal,” Classic Touring Car Racing Club Chairman Stuart Caie, said. “None of us could ever have expected how well the event would be received by the fans.

“I am sure a lot of you have seen on social media people asking for it to happen again and of course once Autosport Magazine published the ‘super idea too good not to be repeated’ article, so how could we not?

“In 2024 we will add a Group A race as we feel the crowd would like nothing more than to see the fire breathing RS500s and BMWs fighting it out on the GP circuit as they did in period!”
