Touring Car Magazine - September 2026 - Digital

OUT NOW: TOURING CAR MAGAZINE – THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE!

CHARLES RAINFORD

Two race wins in the first part of the season, but it has been tougher recently for Charles Rainford and WSR. He tells us about adapting to the physical side of the BTCC, how the BTCC move seemed to be out of reach and why the overall title is the ultimate goal

LEWIS GILBERT

A tough baptism in the BTCC, then ‘the roll’ at Donington. Lewis Gilbert chats about how far removed from each other GB3 and BTCC cars are, how that crash was over quickly and his excellent performance at Croft.

EARLY TITLES

Ash Sutton has ‘one hand’ on the 2026 BTCC title, and he’ll likely win it at Silverstone, making him the first driver in 29 years to win before the final round. We go through the points scenarios, and look back at the nineties Super Touring seasons where winning before the final round became ‘normal.’

BEST PATH TO BTCC

The Clio Cup was the best finishing school for BTCC racers for a long, long time, but what about now? Mini Racing? TCR? Porsches? What is the best bridge between junior competition and the big league?

TCR AS BTCC

Since TCR UK was launched in 2017 there has been a section of the Tin Top community who’ve championed TCR as a cost saving replacement for NGTC. We look at a few reasons that would jack up ‘BTCR’ costs to a similar level to running NGTC cars.

JOE MARSHALL

Former TCR UK racer Joe Marshall speaks about his domination in Porsche this season, and the benefits of being part of the Alliance Racing academy.

NISSAN BATHURST

The Japanese love for Bathurst will grow this year as Toyota returns to ‘The Mountain,’ so we look back 60 years to the Japanese debut with the works Nissan team.

CHEVY STRUGGLES

The 2026 parity rules haven’t worked for Chevrolet in Supercars, but that isn’t the only reason the Camaro isn’t at the front. We look at the other changes that are needed to make the car competitive.
