The first event preview of 2026

It’s almost lights out on the 2026 Trackday Trophy season.

Snetterton will host the series on Saturday 14 March for the first race of the year, with three classes of production and production-based saloon, hatchback and sports cars all itching to get back on circuit to battle for the inaugural podium trophies of the year.

Trackday Trophy, as it so often does, provided plenty in the way of excitement last season and anticipation is for more of the same when the series starts its campaign in Norfolk.

Amongst the early Snetterton entry is Greenstar Racing, who claimed the Class D victory at Snetterton last year. The #33 team will be looking to replicate that performance, but there are plenty that will be looking to make an impression themselves, including BC Cars Motorsport’s double Mazda MX-5 lineup (Alister Esam and Colin Wells) and Boreham Motorsport’s Chris Stone.

Elsewhere, Semprini Racing’s Jeremy Evans, Harts Racing’s father and son duo of Phil and James Hart and Burton Power Racing’s Tommy Valentine will all be looking for strong starts to their year in their respective classes.

With the series remaining a popular platform for novice drivers to make their first steps into the world of racing, there will also be a number of new faces joining the grid, alongside a whole host of other Trackday Trophy regulars who return to the grid for another year of on-track battling and enjoyment.

Snetterton provides a challenging 2.97mile layout that consistently delivers close and strategic racing. The technical infield section will test both a driver’s skill and precision, while two long straights will give opportunity for competitors to open up their engines for the first time in 2026.

It’s shaping up to be a great day of racing and we can’t wait to get things started on 14 March.
