MOTOR RACING UK ISSUE 30 – BUY IT NOW!

Issue 30 of Motor Racing UK is just around the corner! Due to slide through letterboxes and drop into inboxes on February 28th, the latest offering is jam packed with Touring Car goodness!

As you can probably tell by the cover we’re saying farewell to Ciceley Motorsport after a decade in Touring Car racing. We look at their high points from each year. From entering the BTCC in 2013, where Adam Morgan scored the first podium, to 2022 when George Gamble scored the final win.

With three circuits returning to the TCR UK calendar, and an influx of Generation 2 cars arriving, we wonder how that could affect the 2023 title hunt. Who better to ask than the drivers themselves, about what the advantages and disadvantages are of newer or older cars, and how the return of Croft, Silverstone and Knockhill could shake things up.

There is also a Germanic feel to the issue thanks to two features.

First, how Audi needed two attempts with factory supported tin top racing in the UK to rehabilitate their image with the British driver. A disastrous two year programme with Stirling Moss bore hardly any fruit, but a return with Super Touring in the nineties almost doubled their UK sales.

Secondly, a history of the DTM (including the ITR/ITC guises) racing in Britain. From the debut non-championship rounds at Donington to the second home of Brands Hatch.

For fans of even more Touring Car history we list and preview every UK meeting month-by-month to feature historic Touring Car racing in the UK this year. From the big ones – The Silverstone Festival and Brands Super Touring Meeting, to the pre-66 cars at Cadwell and the Lydden Hill Historics event – they’re all there.

Limits are also a topic receiving coverage – both on and over. The recent Motorsport UK track limits proposals, are they workable and how would they affect Touring Car racing in the UK? We take a look. And BTCC ‘On the Limit’ – we review season three of the BTCC behind the scenes documentary.
