Daniel Lloyd started racing at a professional level back in 2008 with his entry into the Ginetta Junior Championship. Initially fighting for wins from the off and would impress on his way to fifth in the standings in his debut year.

Immediately progressing to the Renault Clio Cup Lloyd would come home 11th fighting with familiar names such as Aron Taylor-Smith, Dave Newsham and Sam Tordoff. In the Winter of 2009 the Huddersfield-born racer would win the Renault Clio Winter Cup.

2010 would see Lloyd make a one off appearance in the BTCC at his home round of Croft racing the Vauxhall Vectra for Uniq Racing with Triple Eight with a best finish of seventh.

Apart from a year in the Blancpain Sprint Series in 2014 it would be six years before Lloyd would be back behind the wheel of a BTCC car. In 2016 the #123 would compete in three rounds culminating once more at his home event of Croft. The then 24-year old would better his highest finish after taking a sixth-place at Oulton Park.

Year on year the Huddersfield-born driver would continue to bolster his entry going from four events in 2017, to seven events in 2018 including his first victory coming once again at the North Yorkshire circuit driving the Honda Civic Type R for BTC Norlin Racing.

Despite his growing prescnece in the BTCC paddock Lloyd would step away to race in other touring car ventures for a three year period. His highlight being his dominant title season in TCR UK in 2018.

Returning to the series in 2021, the then Adrian Flux with Power Maxed Racing driver would finally have a full season of BTCC racing under his belt. Moving to Bristol Street Motors withExcelr8 TradePriceCars.com in 2022, Lloyd would add three more victories to his name with his best BTCC standings finish to date in 10th.

In 2023 the then 31-year old would drive a Cupra Leon to almost another winning year after a mechanical failure whilst leading at Donington Park would shatter any winning hopes of that season.

After a BTCC sabbatical, the Restart Racing driver returns to the series once more in familiar machinery, the Hyundai i30 N, the car in which he had his best season to date.
