The 2016 British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) calendar has been revealed with no major changes to the order of circuits, with Brands Hatch once again hosting the opening and closing meetings of the season.
The calendar comprises 30 races held at nine circuits, spread out over ten meetings over a period of just over six months.
Series bosses have opted to continue with the format of 30 races over ten events, which has been in place since the 2004 season.
The calendar once again features a six-week summer break between the Croft and Snetterton rounds, with the latter event taking place one week earlier than in previous years.
The venue and date for the season launch and media day has yet to be revealed.
