Hard stays in BTCC after all in surprise U-turn
In 2023, the Kent squad fielded a record six-car line-up of Cupra Leon models but faced internal troubles leading to the team’s collapse. However, team boss Tony Gilham has now confirmed a return with a streamlined two-car operation, using the Cupra. This will bring the total number of Cupra machines on the grid to four, including two from new team Restart Racing. Gilham will utilize two TOCA TBLs belonging to Aiden Moffat, who is racing for Speedworks Motorsport-run Toyota team this season. Despite setbacks, Gilham expressed gratitude for support, acknowledged mistakes, and vowed to rebuild the team’s reputation and relationships. The team is currently finalizing driver lineup, with discussions ongoing regarding the second seat, with two race-winning BTCC drivers reportedly in contention.
