CPRL to compete in rounds 19, 20 and 21 of the British Touring Car Championship

Following the news that Plato Racing has been placed in administration, a spokesperson for Cataclean said: “Following successful discussions with the Joint Administrators, the team will compete at Donington Park for rounds 19, 20 and 21 of the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) this weekend (August 22-23). Cataclean will provide interim funding for CPRL to continue while the future of the team is confirmed.

“While the team has continued to perform on track, several factors have necessitated changes to provide the team with the best possible opportunity to continue operating.

“Cataclean’s priority remains to support the very best outcome for the team. This includes keeping the team operational and safeguarding jobs and creditors.

“The BTCC returns the best value for money in professional British motorsport. Since 2017, the TOCA paddock and the championship have provided a valuable environment for our brand-building activity, supported by strong trackside attendances, live television coverage, broadcast audiences and digital reach.

“The BTCC remains an important part of the company’s wider commercial and brand strategy, offering significant value for the business. Cataclean is committed to working with the relevant parties to help support the team through this period and provide the stability required for it to remain in the Championship going forward.”
