Sutton locked in at Alliance Racing in BTCC until end of 2026
Ashley Sutton joined Alliance Racing, formerly known as Motorbase Performance, for the 2022 season and achieved his fourth championship title in the BTCC last year driving a Ford Focus ST. His contract has been extended for two more years, amidst speculation of the team’s ambitions to expand into GT3 competition and possibly enter the Le Mans 24 Hours. Sutton’s partnership with Alliance may not necessarily be limited to BTCC racing, as the team explores other avenues in motorsport such as GT3. The extension of Sutton’s contract aligns with Alliance Racing’s goal to strengthen their presence in the racing world, further supported by a three-year title sponsorship deal with NAPA Auto Parts. The team has commenced their pre-season testing to prepare for the upcoming BTCC season at tracks like Dunton and Snetterton, eager to continue their success on the circuit.
