MotorSport Vision (MSV) and the Classic Touring Car Racing Club (CTCRC) are thrilled to announce a new collaboration for 2026: Touring Car Rewind. The refreshed event will build upon the acclaimed trilogy of Super Touring Power events at Brands Hatch, expanding to include two editions and bring retro tin top fever to an wider group of fans across the country.
Touring Car Rewind: South will ensure that Brands Hatch visitors are once again treated to a nostalgic weekend of saloon car competition whilst Touring Car Rewind: North brings a dedicated tin top festival to Cheshire. Both meetings will feature racing, demonstrations and displays for a wide array of classic touring cars.
The full programme at both events will include Super Touring machinery from the British Touring Car Championship’s popular ’90s period as part of an extensive race, demo and display line-up. Unlike Super Touring Power, which firmly shone the headline attention on one generation of retro tin top, Touring Car Rewind will celebrate the motorsport discipline more broadly.
This means that everything from Group A monsters from the 1980s, through to crowd-pleasing Lotus Cortinas of the ’60s will share the spotlight. The full competitive offering will feature cars spanning more than six decades of touring car racing.
Both events will feature a varied off-track show too, tailored towards transporting guests back in time. This will include car displays, interactive retro gaming, and perhaps a few guest appearances from yesteryear’s racing heroes.
Touring Car Rewind: North makes its debut at Oulton Park on Saturday 16 May with Touring Car Rewind: South taking a height of summer date on 1/2 August. Circuit action will be overseen by the British Automobile Racing Club (BARC).
Classic Touring Car Racing Club Chairman, Stuart Caie, said: “Following three hugely successful years of Super Touring Power, we always wanted to continue to do something special in 2026. However there have been countless calls for us to bring the show to another part of the country, and that’s what we’re doing with Touring Car Rewind: North at Oulton Park alongside a Brands Hatch edition. Beyond that, we’ve rebranded what we’re doing slightly to better outline what this event is actually about – all classic touring cars! The Super Tourers will once again play a key role at both events, but there is so much else that’s special in amidst the CTCRC grids. We’re excited to work with David Willey and the MSV team once again, and we’re very much looking forward to hosting all of out competitors at these two special events.”
MSV Group Motorsport Event Manager, David Willey, said: “The passion from fans and competitors for classic touring car racing is undeniable. The success of our three Super Touring Power events illustrated that perfectly, but if there was ever a complaint it was simply that there should be one in the north too! Well, we’ve listened, and we’re thrilled that this new incarnation of our co-production with the CTCRC will visit Oulton Park as well as Brands Hatch. Those of us working on these events are fans who appreciate the love that so many have for this sort of event, so we’re very excited about working with Stuart [Caie] and the team again doing this twice in 2026!”
Ticket information for the Touring Car Rewind meetings will be shared later this year, with other details announced in due course.
