The 2010 British Touring Car Championship calendar has been released, with no major changes from this year's schedule.

Next season will begin at Thruxton and end on Brands Hatch's Indy circuit. The visit to the Kent circuit's GP circuit has been moved to May.

Donington Park's round has moved back from May to September to give the venue more time to complete the work being carried out ahead of next year's British Grand Prix.

The season will also have a summer break of seven weeks between June and August to avoid a clash with the football world cup, British GP and the Tour de France.
