The 2012 Season Starts Here
The last week has seen a flurry of activity as championships big and small held their annual media days and opening tests, with some already even getting down to racing proper. The British Touring Car Championship heads strongly into a new all-turbo generation and this year boasts 10 models from nine different marques on its 24-car grid, including the technicolour liveried return of the MG name.
The BTCC season opener hits Brands Hatch on 1st April, followed a week later by the first rounds of the British GT Championship and the British F3 International Series at Oulton Park. While some single-seater formulae have struggled in recent times - Formula Renault postponing its UK series due to poor entries - British F3 continues to attract young talent.

It's only a couple of weeks until the Autosport International show in Birmingham once again marks the start of a new motorsport season, so we'd like to wish you a Happy New Year! Whether you're a driver, engineer or spectator, we wish you all the best for a great season ahead.
Along with its broad coverage of all forms of motorsport, from oval and drag racing, through GTs and touring cars, right up to F1, the Autosport show is famed for its yearly special features and this January sees the NEC's Hall 20 given over to a tribute of all things Senna. The display will trace his progress from karts and Formula Ford up to four of his most successful F1 cars from Toleman, Lotus and McLaren - definitely one not to miss!
