The HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship has today announced its ten-round race calendar for 2010. As in previous years, the calendar comprises nine of the UK's top motor racing venues with Brands Hatch included twice with a round each on its Grand Prix and Indy circuits. Donington Park has been shifted to later on in the season as the considerable work being carried to its lay-out ahead of next year's British Formula 1 Grand Prix is completed. The season will start with the fastest circuit on the calendar, Thruxton in Hampshire and will include a mid-season break of seven weeks to allow for the British F1 GP, football's World Cup and cycling's Tour de France.
