The 2022 BTCC Hybrid development continues apace over the next seven days as the rear-wheel drive test car officially breaks cover. The BMW 1-Series is having its maiden shakedown at the Stafford Test Facility today and tomorrow (9/10 September) and will then join the Toyota Corolla Hybrid for a two-day Goodyear tyre test at Snetterton next week (14/15 September). Prepared by Ciceley Motorsport, the car will be managed by Cosworth Electronics – the company appointed to design, supply and service the BTCC Hybrid System – throughout its intensive testing cycle over the next few months. The test also represents a hugely important data gathering process for Goodyear, as the official tyre supplier continues its ongoing tyre evaluation ahead of the BTCC’s Hybrid era.
