The 2023 British Truck Racing Championship will kick off at Brands Hatch this Easter Weekend (Sat/Sun) with two days of super-sized action on the Indy circuit.

Five British Truck Racing contests will headline across Saturday and Easter Sunday, with five-tonne giants unleashing up to 1,000bhp on the tarmac. These machines have to be seen to be believed - you'll see nothing else like them on UK circuits!

There will be a colourful support race programme too, including the Pickup Truck Championship and a selection of BARC club car championships and series. There will be off-track attractions as well, with plenty for individuals of all ages to enjoy. See the "What's Included" tab for details!
