Like all deals it all comes down to the nitty gritty, but like Team HARD. Adam has a great family and support network around him which helped get it over the line. I am very excited to see what he can do in the Super Cup, the BTCC Package can be quite daunting, but I think when Adam gets behind the wheel he will do what come naturally.”

We’ve put in the HARD work over the past three years taking 3 consecutive championships, over 20+ wins and 95% of the rounds entered on the podium across both FWD and RWD single make disciplines. Moving up to the Supercup is going to be a big step, being live on ITV as well as being featured on the BTCC support package along with very tough competition, however, with a great team, sponsors and family behind me, I think we can give it a very good shot. I now cannot wait to get out in the car and start testing ready for the first rounds on 7th & 8th April at Brands Hatch, a dream a long time coming!”.
