Road to Round 1 | Behind the Scenes at Media Day & Season Launch | Brands Hatch

The road to the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship season reaches its final stop, as we go behind the scenes at the official Season Launch and Media Day at Brands Hatch. In this final episode of Road to Round 1, we take a full look at what goes into one of the most important days in the BTCC calendar. From driver headshots and media commitments to in-depth interviews and content shoots, this is where the finishing touches are put on the season before racing begins. We also go behind the lens to see how the iconic BTCC grid line-up shot is created, with every team and driver coming together for one of the most recognisable images of the year. Filmed in the sunshine at Brands Hatch, this episode offers a unique insight into the final preparations, as we catch up with drivers across the grid just days out from the opening round. Featuring appearances from Dan Rowbottom, Dan Cammish, Tom Chilton, Charles Rainford, Daryl De Leon, Mikey Doble and more, we hear how their off-season testing programmes have gone, what they’ve learned, and how they’re feeling heading into the first race weekend. With Round 1 at Donington Park now here, the wait is over… it’s time to go racing.
