Speedworks Motorsport Rising Stars has announced its intention to enter the PM Junior Championship in 2027. The statement, published by the BTCC on 2 October, links the proposed programme to developing young drivers for touring cars and GT racing.
The purpose-built junior car is due to race on the same weekends as the BTCC. Speedworks proposes connecting developing drivers with a professional team through its programme.
Development alongside racing
The team's plans include coaching, data analysis, simulator work, fitness, media training and racecraft, alongside career development. Its stated aim is to prepare drivers for progression towards the BTCC, GT racing and other professional competition.
Speedworks describes the 2027 entry as an intention. The announcement outlines the proposed development approach; it does not name drivers or specify the number of cars.
