Welch Motorsport to run Nye in BTCC

British Touring Car Championship team Welch Motorsport will add a Super 2000 Ford Focus to its line-up this year for David Nye.

Nye is a long-time saloon racer who competed for Welch in one-make SEATs in Europe.

The 55-year-old began racing in Ford Fiestas, and has most recently competed in Belgian Touring Cars and the Supercar Challenge.

“Being able to compete on the same grid as the big boys will be fantastic, though I’m sure it will be a steep learning curve,” said Nye, who will contest the Jack Sears Trophy for S2000 cars.

Welch is set to continue fielding Dan Welch in its own NGTC Proton this season.
