Alliance further develops Focus for Sutton record-breaking BTCC bid
Four-time BTCC champion Ash Sutton will lead the Ford Focus ST-equipped squad, now based in Northampton, alongside race winners Dan Cammish, Dan Rowbottom, and Sam Osborne. Excelr8 Motorsport retains 2022 champion Tom Ingram, Tom Chilton, rookie Ronan Pearson, and another driver for their four-car Hyundai i30 N lineup. Sutton, Cammish, and Rowbottom combined for 16 wins out of 30 races in 2023, with majority of pole positions. The team focused on developing the Focus during the winter led by engineer Antonio Carrozza, aiming to stay ahead of rivals Excelr8, West Surrey, and Speedworks. Sutton, seeking a record-breaking fifth title, is backed by the team’s continuity, dedication, and hunger for success in the upcoming 2024 season.
