BTC Racing confirm management change

BTC Racing has confirmed a change in management structure ahead of the 2021 British Touring Car Championship season.

Having first joined the team in February 2019 as co-owner, Steve Dudman has now assumed full control of the Honda team and will also become sole team principal, with Bert Taylor leaving the team for a new role elsewhere.

The team ran three cars this season for Josh Cook, Tom Chilton and Jack Sears Trophy winner Michael Crees but has yet to confirm any drivers for 2021, when it plans to once again run a trio of FK8-spec Civic Type Rs.

“There are some exciting changes underway at BTC Racing ahead of the 2021 season, starting with an investment in a new managerial structure of team management and technical engineering design, as we look forward to, what we fully intend to be, our most successful and competitive season yet in the BTCC,” Dudman said.

“Adopting the sole Team Principal role, I will be much more ‘hands on’ with the day-to-day operations. These are very exciting times for all at BTC Racing, our ambition has never been greater and we are determined to challenge for regular podiums, race wins and championship titles.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Bert Taylor for his work with the team over the last two seasons, and I wish him well in his future endeavours.

“Now, the hard work resumes to ensure we start the 2021 season as competitively as we possibly can.”
