He is however now back for this weekend, taking his placed behind the wheel of the Power Maxed Vauxhall Astra which is only running in selected rounds this season itself.

Speaking about the opportunity Bushell said: “PMR have proved themselves as a force to be reckoned with since they started racing in 2015, and I’m excited to be working with them this season.

“Martin (Broadhurst) and his team have put together a great car, as proven by multiple race wins, and I’m looking forward to both driving and engineering the car, as well as working with the great driver line up they are putting together.

“I’ve had my eye on some of the names for a while, and I think this programme gives them a unique opportunity to peddle a front running car in the world’s best racing series.”

Power Maxed are using guest drivers as part of their development plans for the 2021 BTCC season.
