Vansdirect has expanded its support of the ExcelR8 Motorsport team ahead of the 2022 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).
The Newport-based van leasing specialist has previously backed individual ExcelR8 drivers, but this year has become a full team sponsor.
The team are running four Hyundai i30 Fastback N cars for the second year running, including multiple race winners Tom Ingram and Tom Chilton. The cars, race suits, and helmets will all feature Vansdirect branding.
The new season kicks off BTCC’s hybrid era, and Vansdirect-backed ExcelR8 will be fighting for the championship following a strong 2021 season.
We’re incredibly pleased to announce we’re supporting Tom Ingram and Tom Chilton, who are both leading names in the sport, in addition to the other excellent drivers who are part of the ExcelR8 team, as they all make their mark in 2022.

This partnership will further raise the profile of Vansdirect, as well as backing an allied sport, where commercial vehicles play a large part in the supporting logistics. We eagerly await the start of the season and the action to begin!
Paul Cox, sales director for Vansdirect
Vansdirect joins title-sponsor Bristol Street Motors, with both brands owned by Vertu Motors. The group has also set up a W Series team for the international 2022 championship, expanding its motorsport support.
We’re very happy to not only extend our relationship with Vansdirect for the 2022 season, but to also expand it to a greater level than has been the case in recent years.
We have built a strong relationship with Vansdirect, which pledged its support last year. It is a reflection of the calibre of this association that Vansdirect is expanding its patronage this year. I am anticipating that this collaboration, with leading commercial vehicle retailer Vansdirect, will herald plenty of racetrack success.
Justina Williams, team owner at ExcelR8 Motorsport
