Tim Docker will join the TCR UK grid at Oulton Park this weekend when he races his Volkswagen Golf GTi car alongside Maximum Motorsport regulars Carl Swift and Stewart Lines.
Docker will run in the ex-Motorbase Golf alongside the two CUPRA drivers at Maximum Motorsport, making his first forway into the TCR UK series.
He has previously raced the car in the Britcar Endurance Series, where he has taken a class win at Donington Park in the car earlier in the year.
“I’m pleased to be joining the Maximum Motorsport team at Oulton Park this weekend in the Volkswagen Golf we acquired from Motorbase in May,” said Docker.
“Maximum have run the car for me in two Britcar meetings, at Oulton and then at Donington a couple of weeks ago, and we managed a fourth and a first in class respectively at the two Donington rounds.
“I’m really looking forward to the new challenge of TCR UK as well as meeting up with some of the VW Cup guys I’ve raced with over the past couple of years.”
Team Principal Stewart Lines claimed credit for Docker’s move to TCR, and he hopes the 52-year-old will enjoy his début in TCR UK on Saturday.
“I’m personally delighted to see Tim stepping up to TCR UK, as we’ve worked together from when he first took part in a track day to competing in the VW Cup and Britcar,” added Lines.
“I persuaded him to buy the Golf and he’s already had great value for money from it, so let’s see how he gets on in TCR UK.
“There are no targets this weekend, it’s purely for Tim to enjoy himself and see how he gets on.”
