BTCC announces new Championship Co-ordinator

Long-time BTCC co-ordinator Dan Mayo is to step down from his role with the series to take up a new position as manager of Croft circuit.

Mayo has held the role since 2001 having first worked in the paddock as part of Vauxhall’s PR team and will be replaced by Stuart Murray.

Murray joins BTCC organisers TOCA from the position of Deputy Director of Circuit Sport at the FIA, having held a number of roles with the governing body.

“It has been an absolute privilege to serve the greatest championship in the world, and I shall remain forever grateful for the experiences, achievements and friendships made during this time,” Mayo said.

“I will remain part of the BTCC family, particularly with managing the championship’s annual visit to Croft, and I am really looking forward to the challenge to operate, manage and develop of one of the UK’s high profile race circuits.”

Murray himself said he was pleased to have the opportunity to move into his new position.

“I am looking forward to this new challenge and can’t wait to be joining the UK’s premier motorsport championship,” he said. “I’ve enjoyed my time immensely at the FIA, but the pull of the BTCC and to be taking up such a prestigious role was something that hugely appealed to me.

“There are big shoes to fill of course because Dan has been ever-present in the BTCC for so many years. As expected, he has been nothing but brilliant and hugely helpful, and we will ensure there is a smooth transition into the role… bring on 2026!”
