BTC RACING AIMS AT REVAMPED ASSAULT
The race-winning BTC Racing British Touring Car Championship team is looking to refresh its attack on the series next year and is eyeing the introduction of a brand-new car.
The team, which finished first in the Independents Teams’title chase this season, fielded Team Dynamicsbuilt Honda Civic Type Rs for
Josh Cook, Jason Plato and Jade Edwards this term. Team owner
Steve Dudman has revealed some ambitious plans for next term that could include expanding to a fourcar operation as well as introducing a new a new marque.
Dudman said: “Next year we are considering all of the options that sit with us. I do think that we would prefer to build our own cars with our own engine programme. We have started looking down that route and we are a long way down that path.”
Dudman said that no decision had yet been taken as to whether it would be a front-wheel-drive or rear-wheeldrive machine, but he said that he expected to make an official announcement at the start of November. “I think we need to play our part in bringing a fresh look to the championship with some fresh cars,” added Dudman. “We love our Honda and Team Dynamics have done a great job with the build of that car and we enjoy working with them.
“If we are going to build our own cars, then I will build four of them and we will get another [TOCA BTCC] licence and attack it fully. It could be that we run two pairs of cars from different manufacturers.”
