Nick Halstead secures BTCC return with Power Maxed Racing

Power Maxed Racing will expand to four cars for the remainder of the 2026 British Touring Car Championship season, with Nick Halstead returning to the team.

The expansion marks the first time that the Warwickshire-based team will field four cars in the UK’s premier motorsport series; with Halstead joining Mikey Doble, Aiden Moffat and Dexter Patterson in a Audi A3 Saloon.

Halstead – who previously competed with the team last year – will make his first appearance at Knockhill on August 8-9.

“I’m really pleased to be returning to Power Maxed Racing and being back on the BTCC grid,” said Halstead.

“Since moving to Australia, I’ve had some great opportunities to continue racing, but the BTCC has always been where I wanted to be competing. It’s great to be back with a team I know well, and I’m looking forward to getting started again and seeing what we can achieve together.”

“Expanding to four cars is a significant step for Power Maxed Racing and reflects the continued progress the team has made in recent seasons,” said Adam Weaver, Power Maxed Racing Team Principal. “It’s a credit to everyone involved, both on and off-track. When we looked at the opportunity to add a fourth entry, Nick was a natural fit.

“He understands how the team operates, integrated well in 2025, and has continued to build experience since then. With it also commemorating the anniversary of the fire, with Nick providing so much support in getting back racing this time last year, it’s very fitting that he is getting in the car at Knockhill.

“We’re pleased to welcome him back and look forward to working with him again.”
