The 2023 motorsport season across MotorSport Vision's venues provided some incredible action on two, four and even six wheels, as the UK's top racing categories thrilled spectators across the country. Here's just a flavour of another incredible year across our group of circuits.


The season began with rallying at several venues, with this shot coming from Snetterton in February. Rallying, as ever, provides some of the most unique action of the year - when was the last time you saw a car tipping a wheel in the pit lane, without a jack involved?! Photo: M&H Photography


The Circuito de Navarra enjoyed its first full year under MSV's ownership in 2023, and the Bennetts British Superbike Championship headed to Spain for an official test day in March, where Kyle Ryde topped the times. The series holds the first race of the season at the venue in 2024, and perhaps the mountains of the Navarre region of Northern Spain will become just as iconic as the the legendary feature at Cadwell Park?

Another sensational year of Intelligent Money British GT Championship action kicked off at Oulton Park over Easter weekend. Packed grids of supercars circulated MSV's venues all season, and they'll be back for more in 2024. Photo: Jakob Ebrey Photography

The inaugural Super Touring Power event at Brands Hatch was already more than living up to expectations in July, and then this happened. Proper hairs on edge stuff. Photo: Jakob Ebrey


While the super tourers were circulating at Brands Hatch, the planet's top superbike racers thrilled tens of thousands of spectators at Donington Park, as the Motul FIM Superbike World Championship returned to the East Midlands circuit. Eventual champion Alvaro Bautista won twice, with Toprak Razgatlioglu winning the Superpole contest. Photo: Tim Keeton

The BTCC returned to the Donington Park Grand Prix layout for the first time in over 20 years back in August. The Fogarty Esses and Melbourne Loop sections saw plenty of drama, even if none of the contenders quite managed to replicate Gabriele Tarquini's legendary kerb hop from the 1990s!

The Bennetts BSB 'Party in the Park' again featured massive crowds at Cadwell Park, as the championship fight got ever closer. Photo: Double Red


Tom Mills was almost unbeatable in GB4 this season, and another superb performance at Brands Hatch saw him claim two wins and take the title with a whole event remaining. In all, the KMR Sport driver took 10 wins across the year. Photo: Jakob Ebrey Photography 


A common theme in 2023, as Beer Monster Ducati riders Tommy Bridewell and Glenn Irwin could barely be separated. Photo: Double Red


The big beasts of the British Truck Racing Championship and Snetterton are a perfect combination. The country's 'biggest' championship delivered plenty of thrills in 2023. Photo: Graham Holbon


Irwin and Bridewell were locked in battle again at Donington Park, as the Bennetts BSB season finale drew closer. And we all know what happened next... Photo: Tim Keeton


After the closest Bennetts BSB season in history, Bridewell clinched the crown by half a point at the season finale, delivering Paul Bird Motorsport's ninth BSB title, a fitting tribute to the team owner who sadly passed away in September. Photo: Az Edwards


Another title decided at Brands Hatch was the BTCC, in favour of Alliance Racing contender Ash Sutton, after a dominant campaign that saw him win an incredible 12 times throughout the year, including twice at the season finale. Photo: Jakob Ebrey Photography


GB3's season featured record grid numbers, and an intense title battle that was decided in the very last race of the year, with Rodin Carlin's Callum Voisin emerging as the new champion. Photo: Jakob Ebrey Photography
