Draper's back in the BTCC for 2023
14th Apr 2023
Britain’s biggest and best motorsport championship, the BTCC, returns for 2023 later this month - and here at Draper Tools, we're proud to continue our support of EXCELR8 Motorsport.
We've backed the team at EXCELR8 since their very first race in 2019 and seen them achieve some incredible results during that time. The team's expert mechanics have been putting our tools to good use since then too.
The official season launch took place this week and saw EXCELR8 driver and reigning champion Tom Ingram setting the pace at the official pre-season test. Here's a few photos from the day, featuring driver Nick Halstead's shiny new Hyundai i30 N with the Draper logo emblazoned on the side.
EXCELR8's driver line up is looking strong this year, consisting of Tom Ingram, Tom Chilton, Nick Halstead and Ronan Pearson - it should make for an exciting season.
With all cars unveiled and all the drivers announced, all that's left to do is wait for the opening rounds of the 2023 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship, which take place at Donington Park on 22/23 April. If you can't be trackside you can tune into ITV to watch all the race action live. We'll be cheering for the EXCELR8 team all the way!
