The British Touring Car Championship has unveiled its 2018 calendar earlier-than-ever, with the championship to continue with its 30-race format over the same nine venues.
The only real change of note is that the dates for Knockhill and Rockingham will switch around, with the event in Corby now taking place on the 11thj and 12th August, whilst the trip to Knockhill moves to the 25th and 26th August to coincide with the late summer Bank Holiday weekend.
There is a longer gap between the second and third rounds of the season at Donington Park and Thruxton, with the latter set to take place on the third weekend in May as opposed to the first as it has done in recent seasons.
Donington Park will once again host the pre-season media launch event, which will take place on Tuesday 27th March.
