Butcher to lead two-car Toyota BTCC effort alongside Smelt for 2021 Autosport 27/01/2021 © LAT Images Butcher to lead two-car Toyota BTCC effort in 2021 Six-time British Touring Car Championship race winner Rory Butcher will lead an expanded two-car Toyota line-up run by Speedworks Motorsport this season. As expected, the 33-year-old Scot is replacing the Excelr8 Hyundai-bound Tom Ingram, following a 2020 season in which he remained in title contention until the final race weekend with the Motorbase Performance Ford Focus squad. Speedworks, which is representing Toyota in the BTCC manufacturers championship and racing under the Toyota Gazoo Racing UK banner, is fielding a second Corolla for the first time, and this will be handled by British GT Championship graduate Sam Smelt.

Scot Rory Butcher to lead Toyota s 2021 BTCC assault

That effort will be led by Butcher, who will make his 100th BTCC start in the opening race of the campaign at Thruxton on May 9. And the Scot is determined to put together a strong campaign aimed at lifting the overall BTCC title. “Over the past 12 months, I really feel like I’ve matured as a driver, and I’m now much more capable of looking at the bigger picture and putting a championship campaign together,” Butcher stated. “I obviously had a good crack at that in 2020, and whilst things ultimately didn’t go my way, that’s just part of the learning curve. Unquestionably it’s made me stronger. It’s all about racking up the points in this game the podiums and wins are a bonus and there’s no reason at all why we shouldn’t be fighting at the front right from the start.”

Commercial considerations were at the root of the split, with Ingram carrying personal backing from Cornish pasty giant Ginsters and Hansford Sensors, and Speedworks aligning its livery more closely with Toyota Gazoo Racing as part of an expanded two-car effort. Instead, Ingram will spearhead the now-four-strong squad of Hyundai i30 N machinery under the banner of Excelr8 Trade Price Cars, with 2020 Excelr8 podium finisher Chris Smiley and BTCC sophomore Jack Butel named for two of the other seats.

Speedworks Motorsport, which is entered under the banner of Toyota Gazoo Racing UK, is to field two versions of the Corolla, which has taken seven race wins during its two seasons of competition with Tom Ingram at the wheel. The move represents what Toyota UK hopes will be a full-on attack for the BTCC manufacturers championship in TGR corporate livery this season - last year that was dominated by BMW and Honda, while as a one-car entrant Toyota trailed in a distant third place.
