Nick Halstead Returns To Bristol Street Motors Line-Up
Nick Halstead will continue to race as part of the Bristol Street Motors line-up for the 2024 BTCC season after signing up for a second year as part of the EXCELR8-run team.
Halstead made his series debut on a full-time basis last season, having previously competed in a one-off outing at Croft in 2021.
A seventh place finish at Donington Park on the opening weekend of the season was his best result of the year and one of two points-scoring finishes over the course of the campaign.
Alongside his on-track programme, Nick will once again run the Crazy Karts events on race weekends that proved popular with fans last year.
“I’m delighted to not only announce my return to the BTCC grid this season with Bristol Street Motors with EXCELR8, but also to announce a new partnership with Crazy Carts that is going to be bigger and better than ever before!,” he said.
“It was a big challenge for me last year, but I felt I made good progress behind the wheel, and towards the end of the season, I was regularly displaying pace comparable with the top 15.
“What held me back was a lack of experience, and generally on a weekend, it was race two or three before I would say I really felt comfortable in the car and was able to push.
“Now I’m going to be heading into events with knowledge already under my belt, and even though the grid looks like being a lot tougher in 2024, it leaves me feeling optimistic about what can be achieved.”
