The 1993 British Touring Car Championship was fought over 17 races taking place on 14 weekends. Nissan, Renault, Ford, BMW, Peugeot, Toyota, Mazda and Vauxhall all took part making the season the most unpredictable for years. Ultimately the Championship would not be decided until the very last race of the season, with BTCC rookie Joachim Winkelhock emerging victorious.
