The 2021 Britcar Endurance Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2021 Dunlop Endurance Championship) will be a motor racing championship for GT cars, touring cars and sportscars held across England. The championship's field consists of varying types of cars from sportscar to GT and touring cars that compete in four classes, depending on horsepower, momentum, etc. It will be the 20th season of a Britcar championship, the 10th run as the Britcar Endurance Championship, and the 6th run as the Dunlop Britcar Endurance Championship. The season will begin on 27 March at Silverstone Circuit and end on 23 October at Donington Park.[1] This will be the first season with the new Praga category, open to all Praga racing cars, which will make way for a new one-make Praga series in 2022.[2]
