Broadstairs racer Michael Crees will be back for his third full season in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship in 2021.

Crees who won the Jack Sears Trophy in 2020 will be back with teammate from last year Josh Cook, as they take to the track in a pair of Honda Civic Type R FK8s.

The target for Crees for the new season is to be a top ten challenger on a regular and more consistent basis.

Speaking about remaining with BTC Racing a delighted Crees said: “I’m super excited to be staying with BTC Racing and competing in the BTCC again next season.”

“I would like to start by saying a huge thank you to my partners for coming together and making the deal happen and, of course, Team Principal Steve Dudman for his on-going support. It makes absolute sense for us to continue to work together to develop the team.

“At this point, I would like to also say a big thank you to my team-mate Josh Cook, who really brought me on this year; I have learnt so much from him, which massively developed me as a driver.

“I am buzzing and really looking forward to racing the same car for a second season, for the first time in my career. I would also like to say thank you to all of my sponsors and fans who have supported me along the way.”

The season is due to get underway on 3/4 April 2021 at Crees’ home circuit of Brands Hatch.
