==History==
The company, BARC (TOCA) Ltd, undertake the entire management of the championship from regulations, event direction and marketing. Alan J. Gow is the Series Director and Administrator of the BTCC and the Managing Director of BARC (TOCA) Ltd.
Gow formed TOCA Limited in 1990, purchasing the rights to the BTCC in 1991 and proceeded to turn the championship into the largest of its type in the world and one of the most widely watched motorsport series around the globe. In 2000 Gow sold TOCA to American company Octagon Motorsport (part of the US NASDAQ listed Interpublic group) and took a "sabbatical" from managing both TOCA and the BTCC. In 2003 Octagon relinquished their ownership of TOCA and their control of the BTCC. The current company, BARC (TOCA) Ltd. was formed to take over and manage the championship. Gow was appointed Managing Director of the new company and returned to once again take charge and rebuild the championship, after it had floundered under the control of the previous management.
There was also TOCA Australia, an offshoot again run by Gow, which ran the Australian Super Touring Championship during the 1990s when there was an Australian series which mirrored the Super Touring regulations then run in the BTCC. TOCA Australia ceased operating as the Australia series collapsed in the early 2000s.
