“For me, there is nothing like the BTCC as a fan, a driver, a team owner or a businessman. At every level it ticks all the boxes. It’s a TV show with some great characters which is full of highs and lows. The marketing of the championship is fantastic with the fan base being second to none. You won’t find another championship like it. For 2022 we are continuing to develop the Cupra Leon which we introduced to the series in 2021 with proven race winner Aron Taylor-Smith behind the wheel. He will be pushed hard by BTCC podium sitter Bobby Thompson, Nicloas Hamilton and newcomer Will Powell.Â
Realistically, all we want to do is to keep improving. We want to win every championship we compete in and we have done in the Britcar, VW Cup and British GT, yet the BTCC still eludes us. To win the BTCC outright would write our team in UK motorsport history. We are a young team that is pushing established manufacturers to the limit and our plan is to bring our partners along for the rise to the top of the UK’s most prestigious championship and beyond!”
