The 2026 TDC season starts here

The 2026 Trackday Championship season starts here!

After playing host to a gripping opening round last year, the technical Snetterton 300 circuit will once again be the venue of the inaugural race of the year. On Saturday 14 March, competitors will look to hit the ground running as they search for the first championship points and class podiums of the year.

Snetterton will offer its fair share of challenges for drivers to contend with, including a technical infield section and two long straights. Both car and competitor will need to be on form to challenge at the pointy end of each class, with corners such as Coram, Murrays and Palmer amongst those that can prove pivotal to a fast lap.

The Norfolk circuit has been in a stalwart in the TDC calendar through the years and has provided some fantastic entertainment for drivers and spectators alike. Hopes will be high for more of the same this year, with lights out now only a couple of weeks away.

A mix of TDC regulars and newcomers are amongst the early entry. Matt Swaffer (Swaffer Racing) finished second in the overall championship in 2025 and will be looking for a strong start in Norfolk to kickstart his latest campaign. Reigning Class D Champion Stephen Docker (Independent) is another who will be aiming to start the season well, along with the likes of Wayne Cockerill (Aindale Racing), Mchugh/Heslop (Team Rebbieha) and Jack Hargraves (Boreham Motorsport).

There are plenty more who will be looking to create a strong platform for their seasons with a good points haul at Snetterton too, and we’re looking forward to the off.

A new mandated control tyre for 2026 brings further excitement, with the championship implementing the Yokohama A052 – which has been specifically developed for high performance and maximum grip on the track in both wet and dry conditions.

Bring it on!
