The British Touring Car Championship will return to Silverstone next year after missing the home of the British GP this year. The short National circuit will be used.

Also new for next year will be a race on the full Grand Prix circuit at Brands Hatch. The season-closing event will see the championship end in September, whereas this year the Thruxton finale is in October.

Rockingham keeps its place on the calendar (presumably on the sports car track once again) but there will be no return to Mondello Park, which was dropped this year, and Thruxton will be cut back to one round.

The full provisional calendar is below.

1,2&3, Brands Hatch (Indy) – 30th March
4,5&6, Rockingham – 13th April
7,8&9, Donington Park (National) – 4th May
10,11&12, Thruxton – 18th May
13,14&15, Croft – 1st June
16,17&18, Oulton Park (Island) – 13th July
19,20&21, Snetterton – 27th July
22,23&24, Knockhill – 17th August
25,26&27, Silverstone (National) – 31st August
28,29&30, Brands Hatch (Grand Prix) – 21st September
