Ex-Porsche Carrera Cup champion Barry Horne will replace Alex Martin at Dextra Racing for this weekend’s British Touring Car Championship meeting at Snetterton.
The Scot, who has long ties with Team Parker Racing – the operating team behind Dextra – has been brought in at the last minute, with Martin’s wife expecting his first child.
Although it is the second time Martin has missed a round this season, having skipped Thruxton to recover from a back operation, this weekend’s driver change will not affect the team’s TOCA TBL licence situation, as each team is permitted one driver change per season.
