Scottish driver Dexter Patterson will make a full-time return to the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship after signing with Un-Limited Motorsport for the 2025 season.

A karting world champion back in 2017, Patterson also gained experience in various single-seater championships, including the Italian F4 Championship and the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship.

The young talent competed in the BTCC in 2022 and 2023, including a year in the front-wheel-drive Cupra Leon in the latter campaign. 

After a year away from the BTCC, Patterson is eager to get back behind the wheel of the Cupra in Britain’s most competitive motorsport championship.

Patterson will team up with Max Hall at Un-Limited Motorsport, who will be making his BTCC debut in 2025 having secured the Rookie Championship and runner-up laurels overall in the Mini JCW Championship.

Un-Limited Motorsport is coming off a successful debut season in the BTCC and is committed to building on this momentum with an expanded operation in 2025.

Dexter Patterson said: “I’m excited to be back on the BTCC grid after spending a year racing GT4 in Europe. Having already competed in two BTCC seasons, I have a strong

understanding of the championship and the driving style required to succeed. My main goal for 2025 is to extract the maximum performance from every event on the calendar, with a particular focus on the Jack Sears Trophy. Of course, a few podiums along the way would be fantastic, too.

“It feels great to be returning to BTCC, as there’s definitely unfinished business. With every season, I gain more experience, which will only help in such a close and competitive championship. My goal now is to quickly adapt the car to suit my driving style and continue pushing it forward to get the most out of it.”

Bob Sharpless, Un-Limited Motorsport Team Owner, said: “We’re incredibly excited to welcome Dexter to Un-Limited Motorsport for the 2025 season. We had the chance to do some testing with him at the end of 2024, and his pace in the Cupra was undeniable. Having raced with the car before, he was immediately comfortable and confident, which is a huge asset for the team. 

“With Dexter and Max as team-mates, we’re in a strong position to make a serious push for the Jack Sears Trophy and Independents Championships. Dexter’s a former World Karting Champion, and he’s got unfinished business with the Jack Sears Trophy – he’s hungry to prove himself. Together, we’re aiming to climb higher in the standings and deliver some exciting results in 2025.”
