Power Maxed Racing BTCC Audi recovered after theft

Power Maxed Racing has confirmed that it has recovered the Audi A3 Saloon, raced by Dexter Patterson in the British Touring Car Championship this year, after it was stolen on Wednesday evening.

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 there being on-site security, both the car and trailer were stolen. It led to the team offering up a reward of £25,000 for information leading to its safe recovery.

Although they have confirmed they now have possession of the car and trailer, the reigning Independents’ champions are yet to confirm if the car has sustained any damage.

“We’re delighted to confirm that our Power Maxed BTCC car and trailer was recovered last night,” read a statement by the team this morning.

“A huge thank you to the Motorsport Expo for their work, offer of reward and to everyone who shared our appeal, sent messages and offered help. The response has been overwhelming and we’re incredibly grateful.

“A special thanks also to our partner Awesome who also offered a reward. We will continue to keep you all updated, once we’ve had chance to inspect it!”
