TOCA terminates contract with Junior Championship organisers

TOCA has announced that it has terminated its contract with the organisers of the previously proposed TOCA Junior Championship.

Set to become a fixture of the British Touring Car championship support package, the one-make series launched in August 2024 and was originally slated to begin this year, however it was postponed by a further year.

Series organisers of the BTCC – TOCA – have now confirmed that it will not be moving forward with the project and instead are reviewing expressions of interest for a potential Junior Championship for 2026 and beyond.

“TOCA has today (31 July) confirmed it has set aside its contract with the organisers of the previously proposed TOCA Junior Championship,” a statement read.

“David Beecroft and his organisation were appointed to produce, regulate and manage the new series, with an initial competition start date set for 2025. The championship was later postponed by a further year.

“Subsequently TOCA has taken this decision to terminate the contract.

“TOCA will now be reviewing expressions of interest for a potential Junior Championship for 2026 onwards.”
