Mainstream national racing on hold until May

British GT’s final round at Silverstone was deemed an elite sport, so it could run but without spectators
Top-flight British racing won’t begin until early summer this year after both the British Touring Car and British GT championships announced they would delay the start of their campaigns until May, at the earliest.
The BTCC was due to start at Brands Hatch on April 3-4 but has now made Thruxton its first round on May 8-9. The Hampshire venue was due to be the third round, but both Brands and Donington will now shift to June and October respectively.
British GT had pencilled in its traditional Easter round at Oulton Park on April 3-5, but will also shuffle its first two rounds back, with Snetterton now becoming the fifth round with an August date, and Oulton moving to September.
