March Round-Up
Time for the main headlines from March 2024 as the new season draws ever closer…
4 March:
Team HARD will be part of the BTCC grid after all this season despite losing all three of its TBLs after the 2023 campaign. Financial issues looked to be the end of the line for the Cupra squad, which was forced to sell two cars off to Restart Racing and looked set to close its doors only for a last-minute reprieve to be confirmed by TOCA. The team will now drop to two cars for the 2024 season, both of which will run using the licences under the control of Aiden Moffat. No drivers have yet been confirmed.
12 March:
Daryl DeLeon will contest a full BTCC season with Team HARD after re-signing with the Cupra outfit. DeLeon scored two points finishes in a half season run with the team last year.
13 March:
George Gamble has dropped out of the race for a BTCC seat after being named on the grid for the new Carrera Cup GB season. Gamble will be part of the Century Motorsport line-up alongside ex-BTCC racer Will Burns.
