19-year-old Max Buxton joins TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK with IAA at Croft for the
second half of the 2025 BTCC season. Joining the field as its youngest competitor,
Buxton is also relatively new to racing altogether, having only competed in motorsport
the previous year and evidently on a high, steep upward curve.

The BTCC’s latest racer has made his name competing in Ford Fiesta ST150s and in
his second season has taken the championship by storm. Taking a clean sweep of pole
positions, Buxton has gone on to stand on the podium in 75% of all races competed in
this season.

Alongside that already impressive feat, Buxton had won half of all races that had taken place by the BTCC’s mid-season break. With only 15 races now under his belt, Buxton will be looking to continue his already impressive rise in British motorsport after taking home points in his debut weekend at Croft.

In 2026, the now 20-year-old returns to Speedworks Corolla Racing for his first full season of BTCC action.
