The undercard stars battling for BTCC's support titles

The popularity of the British Touring Car Championship means its support categories get hefty footfall at circuits on raceday, and they deserve it producing thrilling action and drivers like Lando Norris. Four series are set to crown champions this weekend

The last time two drivers in a British Touring Car Championship support series entered the final weekend of the season tied on points, it produced one of the most dramatic and entertaining conclusions in many years. Much to the benefit of the fans of the BTCC's undercard, the feat has been repeated in 2019.

It last happened for the 2017 Porsche Carrera Cup GB finale. Charlie Eastwood and Dino Zamparelli entered the Brands Hatch event equal on points - and they left Kent still tied. A battle over fifth place between Eastwood and fellow Redline driver Tom Oliphant - with no team orders - proved decisive in a nail-biting final contest as Eastwood claimed the silverware on account of scoring one more victory than Zamparelli.
