LEGENDS DOUBLE CONTEST FOR ’23
The Legends Cars championship will add a second championship contest in 2023 for its three meetings on the British Touring Car Championship’s support bill at Brands Hatch, Croft and Knockhill.
Legends’ three double-header BTCC support slots were announced last month and bosses have confirmed that it will have two standalone championships in 2023. One is for the six races at the BTCC rounds, called the Legends Cars ‘BTCC’ championship, and the other is a separate five-event Legends Cars championship made up of nine or 10 races.
This latter contest starts at Cadwell Park on April 15-16 and concludes on the Brands Hatch Indy circuit on November 4-5, at British Truck racing’s ‘fireworks finale’event. The non-BTCC championship also has a second Brands Indy visit, for American Speedfest, plus a Snetterton round and one meeting TBC.
Championship owner Phil Cooper said: “We’re very excited to officially announce the plan to run as two distinct championships for the new season.
With the three race meetings alongside the BTCC next year, it made absolute sense to us for those to be a standalone six-round Legends championship.”
