Why a 2019 BTCC tail-ender is now a serious contender
It was at the back of the 2019 BTCC grid with its outdated MG6s, but this weekend Excelr8 Motorsport starts its second season by bringing Hyundai to the series. The all new i30 Fastback N has those involved in the project excited for an upturn in fortunes
"We didn't know what to expect and I thought we looked really good, like we were good at what we did, that we knew what we were doing. With how the team performed, we deserved to get better results. I was so proud it brought a tear to my eye."
The words belong to Justina Williams, whose team in 2019 became the newest addition to the British Touring Car Championship grid. Now the squad she owns, Excelr8 Motorsport, has traded in the venerable MG6 machinery with which it began its BTCC adventure and become a producer of its own weapon: the Hyundai i30 Fastback N.
