Kent British Touring Car Championship team Motorbase will be a thing of the past as they have a name change and move to the Midlands over the winter break.

Alliance Racing will be the new name in British Motorsport with a strong background. Since Pete Osborne took ownership of the team there have been ambitious plans in place.

The team is relocating to a new 30,000 square foot Motorsport head quarters in the Midlands in preparation for the 2024 Motorsport season.

With the expansion of the team in 2023 and ambitious plans in the pipeline the move sparks the start of a new era for the team. 

Pete Osborne said of the move: 

“This is a fresh and exciting new era for all of us involved. We’ve had strong plans right from the start and now we’ve done a few years learning and growing within the BTCC and TOCA package, we aim to continue in that vein.”

“The team is made up of fantastic individuals who all echo our desires to grow and expand into other area’s of the industry while keeping the BTCC as a flagship programme.”

“We’re proudly representing NAPA Racing UK in BTCC, Mini & Truck racing along with other activities outside of the racing and we will continue to do so with NAPA by our side. Everyone in Motorsport has seen the impact we’ve had as NAPA Racing and the results are there because of the commitment of everyone involved.”

“Another project we’re extremely proud of is the Academy we’ve set up alongside Wera tools, which has already produced two young Champions in Theo Micouris & Alfie Garford and we’re delighted to help these youngsters at the start of their journey.”

“A recent collaboration with Loughborough College has expanded the academy beyond supporting young drivers. This side of the academy is aimed at growing and nurturing young talent in all roles required in the Motorsport industry, such as mechanics, data & engineering, marketing & media and many more.”

“Having taken our Motorsport activity beyond the BTCC this season, we are now looking at plans to grow into other area’s. Watch this space!”

Fabs of Motorbase will see the team in action one last time in its current form as the season draws to a close this coming weekend at Brands Hatch.
