“Claire and her dedicated team have built up a strong reputation over the past two decades in club racing circles and we look forward to supporting them as they take their next steps as the promoters of a national championship.
“The calendar has a number of headline dates at some of the country’s premier circuits and gives the series a strong footing for its debut campaign. I’m sure each of these venues will serve up plenty of thrills for competitors and spectators alike.”
Michael Butler, Senior Accounts Manager of Goodyear Racing EMEA said: “We have worked with the Britcar organisation since the very beginning of their journey. Their professionalism and customer-focused approach have really driven their growth in the last few years.”
