Regarding his debut in the BTCC, Charles said: “I’m so excited, not just to race in the BTCC, but with the most successful team on the grid in LKQ Euro Car Parts Racing with WSR. Some of my earliest memories of racing are of watching the BTCC with my Dad, so to be there myself feels amazing. Walking into WSR HQ for the first time and seeing the trophies and the names on the wall like Senna, Mansell, Priaulx and Turkington was incredible. I’d love to see my name up there one day and if we can win the Jack Sears Trophy this year, that would be a great start. A huge thanks to my partners at Cognition Land and Water for supporting my career so far and helping me to make this step.”

We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Charles over the last few years and we wish him all the best of luck for the coming BTCC season, beginning at Donington Park, East Midlands, on April 26-27. We know who we’ll be rooting for!
