No engine means no Oulton for McMillan

Liam McMillan has been forced to skip the coming British Touring Car Championship race at Oulton Park due to a dispute with the engine tuners ORECA.
“I’m bitterly disappointed to be missing Oulton Park. We sent our engines away in good time and in good faith to be rebuilt by ORECA, but they haven’t been returned,” said McMillan to BTCC.net.

ORECA are tuning the SEAT engines of McMillan’s Toledo. The French manufacturer are keeping the engines as they have not been paid.

McMillan’s team, Maxtreme, claims ORECA’ keeps the engine due to the previous owners of the engines – BTC Racing.

“It hasn’t anything to do with myself or the Maxtreme team, but there appears to be an outstanding issue between ORECA and BTC Racing, the team who raced the Toledos last year and who we bought the cars off.

“We seem to be stuck in the middle of an on-going dispute and our engines, which we own, appear to be being held as ransom. We have done all we can and now it’s up to others to do the honourable thing.”
