2021 Britcar Trophy Championship

The 2021 Britcar Trophy Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2021 Goodyear Britcar Trophy Championship) is a motor racing championship for production cars held across England. The Trophy championship was created specifically for production vehicles as a Britcar championship separate from the much faster GT and Touring Cars of the Endurance Championship. It will be the 20th season of a Britcar championship and the 2nd Britcar Trophy Championship season. The season began on 28 March at Silverstone Circuit and end on 14 November at Brands Hatch.[1]

The championship includes Class 1, 2 and 3 cars, formerly Classes 5, 6 and 7. The Michelin Clio Cup Series also joined the Britcar Trophy Championship grid with the Clio cars having a separate class but still eligible to compete for the overall championship title.[2]
