2023 SEASON

I’m back again for another crack at the BTCC and I’m delighted to be able to move across to Team HARD. for this season. It’s something that I have been looking at doing for a while but our paths have never quite aligned.

I’ve watched the team grow stronger and stronger over the years and now is a great time to join them. The Cupra looks fast, there is a buzz around the team and having met a lot of the staff, I know we are going to have a great relationship as we push the team on even further this year.

They have a great driver line-up this year and I’m excited to start working with the likes of Bobby and Dexter who were very quick last season as well as linking up with Dan once again who I worked well with last year. Combining all of these factors, I’m confident of a really strong debut season with Team HARD.

For another season I would like to thank my partner FEBI Bilstein and Blueprint who have shown their continued support for a third consecutive year, I wouldn’t be here without their support.

Thruxton was our best weekend of the season last year, so I was hoping that this would be the place where we really kicked into gear this time around

Personally, I think I could have done a bit better myself but I’m happy to get three solid finishes behind me and now I can look forward to Thruxton, which is the closest thing I get to a home meeting and one where I went well last year

To my crew, my mechanics and engineers… thank you so much for your hard work and efforts in the 2022 @BTCC season! I’m beyond grateful and wish you all a great winter/off-season! ??

There is no hiding that it’s been a tough start to the season, Like a number of other drivers, we had a difficult pre-season – through no fault of the team – and we were still working to iron out some issues in practice.
