2023 will see top-10 pole shootouts and option tyres return to the BTCC. Here's a summary of all the rule changes announced for next season:
The tweaked qualifying format was first trialled at Snetterton in 2020 and features the regular 30-minute qualifying session followed by a short five-minute break before a 'Top 10 Showdown' is then held over 10 minutes to set the front five rows of the grid.
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, drivers had to use an alternative tyre for one of the three races across a BTCC weekend.It did make a reappearance at four rounds in 2021 but was not used this year. From 2023, the top seven cars in the championship will continue to have hybrid available on a sliding scale that increases the further down in the standings a driver is.
“The changes we have made for 2023 have been done solely to keep to the core values of the championship – and that’s to make the BTCC as competitive, unpredictable, exciting and entertaining as possible,” said BTCC chief executive Alan Gow.
