Charles Rainford joins the West Surrey Racing team for the 2025 season to make his BTCC debut in the LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR BMW 330i M Sport.

Starting his racing in historics saw Rainford take a different path to professional driving to what most would do taking his step up to full-time competing in late 2021. That race would be in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB series taking the pro-am victory on his debut outing.

The very next year would see the BTCC’s new #99 take the title in the very same pro-am category giving himself the opportunity to take to the pro series in 2023.

During his first campaign in the pro category, Rainford would walk away with a victory to his name coming fourth in the standings. The Horsham-racer would improve in his sophomore year coming narrowly close to the title with a second place finish.

After only three previous seasons of full-time professional racing, Rainford is ready to impress in his debut season in the BTCC.
