Colin Turkington
Colin Turkington is WSR’s longest-serving driver, making his BTCC debut with the team in 2002 and winning every one of his record-equalling four overall titles – plus four Independents’ crowns – with their BMWs. Since his return to the Sunbury-on-Thames team in 2017, he has been a constant title contender. He’s back for a crack at a fifth crown as he seeks to re-write history in what is his 20th year in the BTCC.
Jake Hill
The Kent racer has been a revelation since joining WSR in 2022 and taking pole position on his team debut. Third in the standings in each of the last two seasons – his 2023 campaign featuring a career-best six wins as he took the title fight down to the final weekend of the year – has marked him out as a championship contender. He is once again powered by the Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport hybrid BMW 330e M Sport.
Adam Morgan
The newest member of the WSR line-up; Adam Morgan is no stranger to success in the BTCC. With 11 race wins and more than 40 podiums, the former Ginetta G50 champion is one of the most-popular drivers in the series. Four podium finishes in his first year as a Team BMW driver in 2023 have left him hungry to mount the top step this time around and help BMW to an historic 10th Manufacturers’ crown.
