2026 Race Season
For 2026 I will be competing in the JCW MINI Challenge racing for ProAlloys Racing, which shares the billing with British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) rounds. My aim is to use this high-profile championship as the next step up in my motor racing career.
Competing in front of a huge number of racing enthusiasts, both trackside, through social media and on ITV (see stats below) provides a fantastic opportunity to showcase my driving ability, and to promote your business, in front one of THE biggest motorsport audiences in the UK.
The JCW Class is the top tier of the MINI Challenge race series, providing a specification that closely resembles the BTCC cars that drivers aspire to race. The JCW machines are based on the BMW F66 MINI and are bespoke race cars designed to produce all-action racing, and to help drivers develop the skills required to make it to the top. Cars are powered by 260bhp 2.0-litre turbo-charged engines, with an engine calibration programme alongside Damico to ensure a level playing field for competitors.
