THE UK’s premier car racing series will visit Oulton Park next June.

This week the HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship unveiled its 2010 calendar, with the Little Budworth circuit one of three MotorSport Vision tracks set to host four of the 10-date competition.

BTCC is in town on June 5.

Brands Hatch hosts two meetings, the first of which will take place on the Grand Prix circuit over May Bank Holiday weekend.

And the Kent circuit will once again be the setting for the season finale in October.

The calendar announcement follows a sensational 2009 campaign for the British Touring Car Championship, which came to a head at Brands in front of a record 35,000 spectators.
