==Focus on diversity==
As a series popular for its diversity in teams, cars and drivers that had regained the attention it lost before its reformation,{{According to whom|date=October 2022}} Britcar were invited to support two WEC rounds, at [[Spa-Francorchamps]] and [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]] (subsequently cancelled). Britcar stated "we are immensely proud that our endeavours to produce a professionally-run nationally- based Championship have been recognised by organisers of one of the biggest Championships in global motorsport."<ref name="Britcar2020Spa" />
 
Reflecting diversity in both the Endurance and Trophy series, among the teams are [[Team BRIT]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Changing Motorsport |url=https://teambrit.co.uk/ |website=Team Brit}}</ref> whose drivers are all disabled, using specially developed hand controls.

For the 2019 season the format was changed again, merging Endurance and Sprint categories into a single grid for two 60-minute races per weekend, finishing the season with a single 60- and a single 120-minute night race at Brands Hatch.
 
For 2020, Britcar introduced a Trophy category<ref>{{cite andweb a|title=Trophy newCategory series2020 ofSeason shorterReview races|url=https://www.britcar-endurance.com/trophy-category-2020-season-review/ to|website=Britcar avoid|publisher=Britcar the need to refuelEndurance {{According to whom|access-date=October15 2022November 2020}};</ref> and a new series of shorter races named the [[2020 Britcar Trophy Championship|Britcar Trophy Category]] for cars under Class 4 performance and the [[TCR Touring Car|TCR]] and GT4 cars, for classes 5–7. The majority of these new classes are production cars, such as the [[Smart Forfour]], Mini JCW R56 and the [[Honda Civic Type R#FK2 (2015; based on ninth generation Civic)|Honda Civic Type R (FK2)]] which were popular in Class 5. Some Trophy Category events ran alongside Endurance events, whilst other events ran dedicated Trophy cards with no Endurance or Praga rounds at the weekend.
 
Also in 2020, the Endurance grid saw several new [[Praga_(company)|Praga]] sportscar prototype R1 and R1T entries balanced into the existing Endurance class system. In 2021 these entries were given a dedicated class.
