2018年のイギリスツーリングカー選手権

2018年のイギリスツーリングカー選手権 （2018 British Touring Car Championship、通称BTCC）は、イギリスとスコットランドで開催された生産ベースのツーリングカーでのモーターレース選手権。 ダンロップが後援。 プロのモーターレーシングチームと、一般向けに販売され、年のイギリスツーリングカー選手権の技術規則に準拠したファミリーカーの高度に改造されたバージョンで競う個人資金のアマチュアドライバーの組み合わせを特色とする。 2018年シーズンは、第61回目の英国ツーリングカー選手権シーズンであり、 次世代ツーリングカー （NGTC）技術仕様に準拠した車にとって8回目のシーズン。 2018年シーズンは、シリーズ開始から60周年を迎えた。 すべてのチームとドライバーは、英国のレースライセンスの下で競い合う。 チャンピオンシップカレンダーは、2017年5月26日にチャンピオンシップオーガナイザーによって発表され、2017年シーズンからすべてのサーキットは再びラウンド開催したが、唯一の変更はロッキンガムモータースピードウェイとノックヒルレーシングサーキット切り替えでのラウンド。 2017年10月、BTCCのボスは、 Snetterton Motor Racing Circuitがシリーズの60周年記念式典の一環として、今シーズンの特別延長レースの開催地になると発表していた。 ドライバーは、ラップの数に関係なく、レースごとにラップをリードするために複数のポイントを集めることはできない。 Snettertonでは特別な60マイルレース3スタンドアロン予選、バラストなし、ダブルポイントなどがあった。 ^ Team run by Eurotech Racing for rounds 1-7. ^ “Dunlop Continue Strong Partnership With BTCC”.
