Set in rolling parkland, Oulton Park is popular with drivers and fans alike with its undulating track and variety of fast and slow corners providing a real challenge for the drivers and a feast of entertainment for the fans. In recent years, the Cheshire circuit has seen some of the BTCC's fiercest battles and memorable events.

The 2013 BTCC season features one of the largest grids in recent years with 4 champions taking part. Reigning champion Gordon Shedden is currently 4th in the standings with Honda Yuasa Racing team-mate and former champion Matt Neal heading the championship table.
