The opportunity has arisen for CarStore Power Maxed Racing to expand its Warwickshire squad for the forthcoming season, having secured an existing TBL from Team HARD for the 2023 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship.

With PMR already having a third Vauxhall Astra shell ready and waiting, Team Principal Adam Weaver admitted the opportunity was too good to turn down.

“It was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up,” he said. “We’ve had plenty of driver enquiries and a big enough premises and all the kit to run another car. The economies of scale made it viable and helps further secure our long-term future in the BTCC. 

“The timing was just right as we have developed many staff over the years from apprentices to engineers, and it gives them the ability to step up and take on more responsibilities and continue their career growth. Therefore, we are all looking forward to fielding three cars in the BTCC for the very first time.”

CarStore Power Maxed Racing will announce the driver of its third Vauxhall Astra next week.
