EXCELR8 Motorsport has announced that it has relocated its British Touring Car Championship team to the Team Dynamics facility in Droitwich.
The Suffolk-based team is moving its touring car and Porsche Carerra Cup operations to the West Midlands, whilst keeping the preparation of the MINI Challenge cars in its existing factory in Brome, Suffolk.
The multi-year partnership comes after Team Dynamics, which was itself a mainstay in the BTCC, has now relinquished the two TOCA BTCC Licences it held up until the 2023 season.
The news has been described as being ‘the first phase of a new partnership’ between the two teams.
Team Dynamics previously ran its Honda UK-supported Civics from the ‘state-of-the-art’ facility in Droitwich.
“This is a very exciting time in the development of the EXCELR8 team, which – of course – includes our Team Partners, Drivers and Team Members,” said EXCELR8 Team Owner Justina Williams.
“We have been evaluating a change of location to improve our logistics and fit in with our team for a couple of years but had struggled to find a suitable location.
“When I started to speak to Matt Neal about the Team Dynamics facility in Droitwich, it became clear that the move could offer far more than just a base for our operation, and could instead be the start of a new partnership.
“EXCELR8 will continue to run Hyundais under the EXCELR8 name with our Swindon-developed Hyundai engines, as they have offered us great support on what is a fantastic platform in the i30N and has been very successful.
“The aim is to bring additional skills and experience from Team Dynamics into the EXCELR8 fold to strengthen our BTCC programme.
“We will therefore be welcoming Barry Plowman on board to work alongside Spencer Aldridge, our highly-respected championship-winning Lead Engineer, and the wider EXCELR8 team.
“It is also key to state that we will continue to focus on our MINI operation, which will stay based in Suffolk, with our Porsche programme also relocating to Droitwich.”
Matt Neal, Team Dynamics Motorsport Managing Director, added that Team Dynamics will continue to operate independently in other series and programmes.
“Our philosophy is ‘teamwork makes the dream work’ and what could be better than marrying together two BTCC winning teams,” added Neal.
“As with EXCELR8, we are all about teamwork and efficiency, so we’ll be sharing resources and knowledge – as well as our fantastic purpose-built premises, equipment, and logistics – to help them win further championships during the coming seasons.
“This is a multi-year deal which will see us collaborate on many different projects and opportunities. We will also continue to operate in other championships as Team Dynamics, and will be running cars in the classic race world, endurance championships and GTs.
“There are exciting times ahead as we bring together all our experience and commercial relationships under one roof.”
