The British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) keeps fans on their toes with a unique qualifying format and dynamic race grids across each weekend. Here's a straightforward breakdown of how it all works.
Qualifying – Setting the Grid for Race 1
Each BTCC race weekend begins with a qualifying session to set the starting grid for Race 1.
- 20-Minute Qualifying Session
- The grid for Race 1 of each weekend is set by a single 20-minute qualifying session (in normal conditions).
- Fastest Lap = Pole
- Drivers push to set their fastest lap during this time. The quickest driver gets pole position, and the rest of the grid lines up based on lap times.
