Trade Price Cars and PMR join forces for TCR UK campaign

The latest team to add its name to the 2020 TCR UK championship’s entry list is that of Trade Price Cars Racing and Power Maxed Racing, both teams currently contesting the British Touring Car Championship.
The new outfit has been formed by Trade Price Cars Racing owner and Team Principal Dan Kirby, who will drive one of the two recently acquired SEAT León TCR cars, and Martin Broadhurst, PMR’s Technical Director.

“Having spent a couple of season’s in the Ginetta series and after establishing Trade Price Cars Racing in the BTCC last year, I now feel it’s the right time to make a move into saloon car racing myself, and I see TCR UK as the perfect place to do it,” explained Kirby. “I think the series has great potential and I’m keen to see it get the profile and size of grids it deserves. I’m therefore excited to be part of it this season and to be able to bring a new team to the TCR UK paddock.”

Martin said “With our first foray into TCR at the end of last season ending in a double podium, we’ve been exploring the move into TCR for quite a while. When we were approached by Dan to run his newly acquired SEAT cars, it slotted perfectly into our plan. It’s fantastic to bring our teams together in in what looks to be a hotly contested championship.”

The driver of the second León is yet to be confirmed.
