what does BTG stand for and what does it mean?

"Bridge to gantry".

During tourist driving sessions, the full main straight cannot be driven at speed due to the exit/entrance. These laps are usually timed "bridge to gantry", which is only 19.1 km (11.9 mi). The lap goes from the "bridge" to the "gantry".

It's also the name of this website: http://bridgetogantry.com/2/index.php
