Power Maxed Racing appeals for help after BTCC Audi stolen

Power Maxed Racing has launched an appeal for help from the public after the theft of the Audi S3 raced in the British Touring Car Championship this season by Dexter Patterson.

The car had been used for a promotional event at ExCeL London and was being stored overnight in a covered race trailer in a compound at the venue.

Despite the presence of on-site security, the trailer was taken overnight [Wednesday] along with the Audi, with the team offering a reward of £25,000 for information leading to its safe recovery.

“We are not interested in confrontation, accusations or making this situation any more complicated than it needs to be,” a statement from the team said.

“If you have the car, know where it is, or have information that could lead to its recovery, we encourage you to contact us directly and confidentially.

“We are perfectly happy to arrange for the car to be left at an agreed safe location, with no questions asked by PMR. The £25,000 reward will be paid upon the safe recovery of the complete vehicle.

“This is a purpose-built British Touring Car Championship race car, representing an enormous investment of time, money, engineering and hard work from our entire team.

“It is also an extremely distinctive vehicle, with very limited use or value outside professional motorsport.

“We would urge everyone across the motorsport, automotive, transport and wider community to share this appeal as widely as possible. Someone, somewhere, knows something.

“£25,000 CASH REWARD. NO QUESTIONS ASKED BY PMR. WE JUST WANT OUR AUDI BACK.”

Anyone with information can contact Power Maxed Racing through its social media channels in the first instance.
