Bumper BTCC grid for 2022

Next season's Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship is set to be contested by the maximum possible 32 cars, following the release today of the TBL list.

The list shows which teams hold a TBL - a licence required to enter the championship, and includes three "loan" licences.

BTCC Chief Executive Alan Gow said: “At our annual teams meeting last month the majority of team owners voted for TOCA to provide the loan of our spare TBLs, to help satisfy requirements. “Therefore, I’ve released our three TBLs on a single-season-only loan basis; one each to BTC Racing, Team Dynamics and Speedworks Motorsport. This means the grid will now increase to its absolute maximum of 32 cars next season. “The demand for the BTCC has never been greater. Clearly, this also means I’ve failed to achieve my long-stated aim of reducing the grid size. Whilst that remains the goal going forward, admittedly it’s a nice problem to have…” Teams will announce full details regarding their own respective entries (drivers, team names and sponsors) over the coming weeks and months, prior to the release of the finalised entry list in March.  For 2022, the confirmed TBL holders are:
