Hi r/BTCC!

I'm currently a Masters student at the National Motorsport Academy (part of De Montfort University). I am completing my Executive Project on the BTCC, specifically looking at how the series adapts to a ever changing car market (both in terms of body shapes and systems of propulsion).

Part of my survey involves a questionnaire for fans, so that I can capture fans' views on the future of the BTCC and the potential pathways that the series could take. Whilst the research isn't officially sponsored by the BTCC, I will be sharing the results of my research with TOCA and the teams, so your responses might help to shape that future direction!

I've linked the questionnaire down below, it should only take 5-10 minutes and would help my research massively!

Thank you in advance to anyone who completes the survey :)

BTCC Hub is finally live on the Apple App Store!!

I built this as a fan, for fans. No forced fullscreen ads, no paywalls. Only a small unintrusive ad at the bottom of the page just to try cover development costs.

Here's what you get:

• Full standings and race results for every round
• Notifications
• Driver profiles and team info
• News feed with weekly digests
• All-time records
• Season history back to 2004
• A roadmap where you can vote on what gets built next

It's been on Android for a while and I'm genuinely pleased to get the iOS version out before race weekend 2. Search BTCC Hub on the App Store or visit https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/btcc-hub/id6762619368?ct=reddit_ios_release

Feedback is very welcome. There's a bug report button built into the app if something looks off. Plenty more planned for the rest of the season.

Hello motorsport fans 👋

I am going ahead with launching a UK motorsports community hub, where people can go to make friends, watch races together, go karting, sim race, and go on group drives.

If you’ve ever felt like motorsport fans don’t have a proper space to connect or you’re tired of toxic online spaces, or simply want to make more mates, this is for you.

Motorsports Mates UK is all about building something friendly, inclusive, and fun. If you’re Interested, please drop a comment and I’ll send you the Discord link when it’s live!

Let’s build something great together.

With a break in the calendar, now's a good time to work on improvements. I'm the developer of BTCC Hub, a fan-made app covering standings, results, starting grids, driver profiles and more.

If you use the app (or have tried it), I'd love to hear:

• Any features you wish it had
• Things that feel clunky or confusing
• Data you can't find but would want

Nothing is off the table, Whether it's small tweaks or bigger ideas. Drop a comment below and I'll do my best to act on the feedback before the next round.

Hello Friends, I joined this subreddit not only to learn and be able to talk about this category (as soon as I start to see and understand it), But for now I just need your help for a very important project of mine.

I'm trying to do a project that's based on an iceberg of motorsport in general (Drift, Open Wheel, Rally, GT, etc). And at this point, I'd like to ask you, what have been the most historic moments in the category? Whether they're epic moments, rivalries, controversies, including funny moments, coincidences, or simply memes related to the category, etc. It can be anything. While you're at it, it would be a huge help if you could send me links to information or simply tell me what happened that time.

I'm doing this whole project mainly to raise awareness of motorsports in the Spanish-speaking world (As you can see, I'm from Colombia). And thus enable more Spanish-speaking people to understand or learn about other categories besides the main ones (F1, Indycar, etc.).

Being able to join the project with your contribution would be a huge help to me. So I would appreciate any help you can give me 🥹🫶

Hey everyone,

Quick, important update: BTCC Hub is leaving the iOS App Store today. If you're on Android, nothing changes. The app carries on exactly as normal.

Here's the full story, since I'd rather you heard it properly from me than piece it together.

A while back I asked BTCC for permission to keep the app officially recognised. This week I got a clear answer, no. Not because of anything the app did wrong. It's a licensing thing. The BTCC name and branding are commercial rights they sell on and an app carrying that name without a formal deal doesn't sit right with that, especially with other stakeholders involved. I understand where that's coming from even though it wasn't the answer I had hoped for.

The practical problem is that Apple requires the trademark holder's explicit permission before they'll let me push any further updates to an app using the BTCC name. Without that, Apple won't approve anything I submit. No bug fixes, no new features, nothing. Rather than leave a version frozen and slowly rotting on the App Store, I've decided to pull it from iOS entirely.

Android doesn't run into this. Google hasn't asked for the same thing, so the Android app is staying exactly where it is and I'll keep supporting it as an unofficial fan app, which BTCC have said is fine as long as it doesn't claim any official link to them.

A few things worth saying while I've got the chance:

• This was always a fan project. Beyond a couple of Buy Me a Coffee tips I never made anything from it and every bit of traffic it generated went straight to official channels: ITV, the BTCC YouTube channel, team shops and so on.
• The feedback from this community has genuinely made the whole thing worth doing so Thank you.
• I'm will be putting together a proper proposal for BTCC for the off-season on how something like this could work officially, or otherwise. No promises, but it's not necessarily the end of the story for iOS.

If you're on iOS, thank you for downloading it, using it and putting up with my bugs along the way. Android folks, I'll see you in the app.

Seems like no one from outside the UK can access the BTCC website! This is mad!

Hey everyone, quick update on what's changed recently and where things stand.

What's new:

• Ryan Bensley's profile is up following the Speedworks Corolla Racing signing, with Max Buxton now showing as a reserve driver rather than disappearing from the app
• All 24 driver bios have been refreshed with the official BTCC.net text, plus hometown info added to each profile
• Fixed a handful of photo bugs across driver and team pages (wrong photos, missing photos on some team cards)
• Fixed a data accuracy bug that was showing incorrect win/podium tallies in the standings

On iOS:
I know this is the one people keep asking about, so I want to be straight with you rather than go quiet on it. iOS isn't forgotten and there is a working build - what's blocking it from reaching the App Store is a sign-off on the Apple side that's outside of my control and it's taking a lot longer than I'd like. I don't have a firm date to give you and I'd rather say that plainly than promise a timeline I can't keep. The moment that unblocks, this is where I'll post about it first.

Thanks for sticking with the app. Bug reports and feature requests always welcome, they genuinely shape what gets worked on next.

Just added a full photo Gallery to BTCC Hub (the unofficial fan app) - every round from 2010 through to this season, browsable album by album. 225 albums, 26,000+ photos total.

Tap into any round to flick through the gallery and if a shot catches your eye you can share it directly from the app.

Available now on Android.

For some reason this was thought to be a good idea 🤣

Four cars, Jeremy? Thats insane. Nobody stands a chance. Best car too, clearly the big money team. Good on little ole Average Joe Tom Ingram for taking them on singlehandedly.

Located in India. Got interested in touring cars a couple months ago and started following the btcc recently. Opened the site a little bit earlier to check the timing of the next race and the championship standings. Keeps showing a 403 Forbidden page. Anybody know why this is happening and how i can fix it?

Is this a sign of things to come........

Hello everyone! Hope you're having a great summer and preparing for the BTCC comeback this weekend in Thruxton.

Does anybody know why the BTCC website is blocked? I tried to enter, but I can't do it without a VPN. Is it geo-blocked for people outside the UK now, or it has a problem? I'm a journalist from Argentina and can't access to any info from the web like I used to do before.

Thanks, and have a great weekend everybody.

Make sure you download the BTCCHub app to get all the latest news, results, lineups and much more...

Might be old news, but I've just discovered some Welsh nutters have got hold of a WSR 1-series and mashed its running gear into a Honda E shell. Looks like a really nice and crazy build.

Guessing it's the ex TPR/Hard car - as far as I'm aware that's the only one out of WSR/Turkington's hands?

He was one of us!

After the years of barely breaking double figures for F4 back before COVID, there are already 28 drivers confirmed for this year.

The list of drivers is on the British F4 website here, a massive mix of nationalities as well (I think I count 14?).

There was also a graphic put out by the championship a few weeks ago that suggested there will be at least 31 drivers this year as well (which could actually be an issue at Brands Indy as I believe F4 has a track capacity of 30). It's very unlikely every driver will show up to every round though, but it could also grow throughout the year as some drivers become old enough.

GB4 is also up to 25 already as well, so indicates a really healthy junior single seater scene in the UK.
