Will Powell will race a Maximum Motorsport entered Hyundai i30 N in this year’s TCR UK.
Powell impressed Maximum Motorsport, which is run by experienced ex-British Touring Car Championship driver Stewart Lines, during pre-season driver evaluations. He began his new testing schedule in the Hyundai last week at Silverstone and Donington Park and, despite not having previously raced a front-wheel-drive touring car, posted very competitive lap times.
“It’s an unexpected change this close to the start of the season but working with Maximum Motorsport with support from Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing, is already proving successful. There will be a lot of crossover between the teams to ensure our Motus One customer drivers are also well-served. Now I have a separate role to play as a driver and am excited to compete in touring cars for the first time,” said Powell.
