Senna Proctor is returning to BMR Racing to compete in the 2019 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship.
BMR says it always had the 20-year-old down as a future BTCC champion after he was spotted when just 16 years old.
He said: “I am very excited to be returning to BMR Racing for the 2019 season.
“After racing under the BMR banner in 2015 and 2016, the timing to return is right so when the call came in everything seemed to fit perfectly and it was an easy decision to make.
“I would like to thank everyone at BMR Racing for putting their faith in me. I can’t wait to get out testing and sample the Subaru Levorg, I think the rear-wheel drive car will suit my driving style.”
He added: “After two successful years in the BTCC, I have found my feet and I am ready for the next step, my aim this year is to win races and to be in with a shot of the title come the last round of the season.”
A journey to racing in the BTCC…
Senna first joined BMR Racing in 2015 with the BMR Academy when he raced in the Ginetta Junior Championship.
The following year, he progressed to the Renault UK Clio Cup Championship in 2016 and remained with BMR Racing.
He then made his BTCC debut in 2017 with a move to Power Maxed Racing where he was crowned Jack Sears Trophy Champion and remained in the seat for a second consecutive season.
A partnership with Adrian Flux and Subaru UK
Both Adrian Flux and Subaru UK have renewed their partnership and commitment to BMR for the 2019 season.
Gerry Bucke, General Manager of Adrian Flux insurance, said: “Adrian Flux is delighted to be supporting BMR Racing for a fourth consecutive season with Subaru UK.
“We’re massive fans of British motorsport, and the touring cars is one of the most exciting championships this country has to offer.”
He added: “BMR Racing has a committed team with members who work hard during the good times and pull together in the more challenging times. And as the title sponsor, we’re really looking forward to an exciting season of racing ahead.”
A word from the BMR Team Manager…
Micky Sergeant, Team Manager at BMR Racing, is thrilled to have Senna on board and the renewed sponsorship commitment from Adrian Flux and Subaru UK.
He said: “Senna has unfinished business at BMR and he will be coming back to his roots where his rear-wheeled drive experience from his Ginetta days took him to the championship title runner up in 2015 as a BMR Academy driver.
“Jack Sears Championship winner in his maiden BTCC year puts him in good company and his maiden win last year along with a brace of podiums and a dozen top ten finishes certainly makes him one to watch again in 2019.”
Looking forward to the season ahead…
While reflecting on 2018’s championship, he added that the team is looking forward to this year’s first round at Brands Hatch.
He added: “Last year saw an even more competitive BTCC than ever before and we are very excited to be able to contest the championship titles once again with the Subaru Levorg and the collaboration of Adrian Flux.
“Our aim is to continually develop every area of the team to ensure the results speak for themselves.
“The news has given the team a boost of excitement and it really is a true testament to all of their hard work last year, we can’t wait for the first round at Brands Hatch in April.”
