2016 BATC Season 8 Finals

The 2016 BATC Season 8 Finals will be the conclusion of the eighth season of Ben and Toad's Contest. It will be hosted by the United States, as the country hosts the 2016 US Open and the IndyCar race in Boston over Labor Day weekend. This was originally going to be at the US Open, but the IndyCar announcers for the Boston race in 2016 caused it to move to the Boston area.

This will be the first BATC final held during the IndyCar season since season 4 at Auto Club Speedway. Notable teams that will participate include IndyCar powerhouses Australia, Ukraine and Germany. 2016 will be the first season for Honduras since 2013, after sitting out of 2014 and 2015; and deciding to come back for the 2016 season.

Overview
Season 8 will be the first BATC final to not feature Gilles Marini since the season 2 final at the streets of Baltimore. The Germany national team captain Marini decided to not participate for the season 8 final, because he might be 40 by then.

Teams participating
56 teams will participate, with some of them sent to New York for the US Open in tennis.
