The 2026 British Touring Car Championship season opened at Donington Park in April — and it wasted no time making its presence felt. A brand new team arrived carrying one of the sport's most recognisable names. The new Race to Pole format produced its first headline immediately.
Sunday brought the new Closed Loop Boost Scrutineering system into sharp focus with a cascade of penalties reshaping the entire classification. Through it all, Ash Sutton charged from twenty-first on the grid to demonstrate precisely why he is a championship favourite.
Chequered Past was on the pitwall throughout as a marshal on the Startline team — showing penalty boards, managing the Race 3 grid countdown, and coordinating penalty communications with race control.
This is the race weekend as it looks from inside the barriers.
