British Touring Car Championship organiser TOCA is targeting two new teams for the 2025 season, but is capping its grid at a maximum of 24 cars.
The series has dropped from 27 cars last year to an average of 20 this term. While TOCA chief Alan Gow was always adamant that he wanted numbers to drop from the BTCC’s recent spike in the low thirties, he wants new blood in for 2025.
Gow has stipulated that he wants any new entries to be ‘fresh, high-quality’ operations, indicating that he is less interested in a return from some of those who have dropped off the grid in recent seasons.
“For the last six years I’ve said many times that, ideally, I’d like to cap our numbers to around 24 cars for several different reasons – not least of which is to support our teams by utilising the sound commercial principle of maintaining ‘supply’ just below ‘demand’ in order to underpin their entries and investment,” said Gow.
