The 2024 Kwik Fit[1] British Touring Car Championship (commonly abbreviated as BTCC) was a motor racing championship for production-based touring cars held across England and Scotland. The championship features a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded amateur drivers competing in highly modified versions of family cars which are sold to the general public and conform to the technical regulations for the championship. The 2024 season is the 67th British Touring Car Championship season, the 14th season for cars conforming to the Next Generation Touring Car (NGTC) technical specification and the final season using hybrid technology.[2] Jake Hill outscored Tom Ingram by eight points to score his first BTCC Title.
