Consistency the target for Lloyd at new team

HUDDERSFIELD driver Daniel Lloyd has made the move to Excelr8 Motorsport for the 2022 British Touring Car Championship season, teaming up with two-time independent champion Tom Ingram.

The 29-year-old made a successful return to Britain’s most popular racing series last season when he drove alongside double champion Jason Plato at Power Maxed Racing.

After a tough first half of the 2021 campaign, Lloyd put in some impressive performances – including a run of four podium finishes in the final three meetings of the year – which saw him climb to 11th in the overall standings and attracted the attentions of Excelr8 Motorsport.

“I’m very excited to announce that I’m joining Excelr8 for the 2022 season,” said Lloyd, who will drive one of the team’s Hyundai i30 Fastback N cars. “Although

I’ve been involved in the BTCC for a number of years, last year was my first opportunity to show my full potential across the season.

“Last year was probably one of my most successful seasons in motorsport, both on and off the track. I managed to get some great race results as well as grow my network of partners which is so important in the BTCC.”

The move means Lloyd will have a great chance to build on his one career BTCC victory which came back in 2018 at Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire.

“My main goal this year is to become a more consistent frontrunner and I feel that Excelr8 has the full package to help me to achieve this,” he added. “I’m hoping to learn as much as I can from the team and as quickly as possible transfer that into results on the track.

“It’s going to be great to have Tom as a team-mate and to be able to lean on his experience while getting used to the new car.”
