TeamSport Indoor Karting, the largest indoor karting company in the UK, is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with EXCELR8, one of the leading teams in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship.
EXCELR8, which runs the Team VERTU programme in the BTCC and operates cars in the Vertu MINI CHALLENGE, has previously had indirect ties to TeamSport through a shared relationship with BIZ Karts, one of the world’s leading go-kart manufacturers.
This new official partnership between TeamSport and EXCELR8 builds on that foundation and marks the beginning of a more direct collaboration, with both parties working closely together throughout the remainder of the 2025 season, which resumes at Croft in North Yorkshire next month.
Aligning with a front-running team like EXCELR8 presents an exciting opportunity for TeamSport to grow its presence within the motorsport community and beyond. With a brand-new venue opening in Brent Cross later this year, TeamSport will expand to 38 UK locations and six more across Europe – further cementing its position as the leader in indoor karting.
The partnership will allow TeamSport to engage directly with a passionate fanbase that shares its love for speed, racing, and on-track competition, while also working collaboratively with EXCELR8 to bring the thrill of the BTCC to a wider audience.
Symon Wooldridge, TeamSport Chief Operating Officer, said:
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with EXCELR8, a team that shares our passion for motorsport, performance, and inspiring the next generation of racers. This collaboration is a fantastic opportunity to connect with racing fans across the UK and bring the excitement of indoor karting to an even wider audience. With BTCC’s huge following and EXCELR8’s on-track success, we’re looking forward to an exhilarating journey together.”
Justina Williams, EXCELR8 Team Owner said:
“We’re delighted to announce our new partnership with TeamSport as we prepare to kickstart the second half of our season in the coming weeks.
“There are obvious synergies between what we do as a race team and how TeamSport operates as a business, so the decision to join forces makes perfect sense for us both - particularly when we have already worked together indirectly in the past.
“I have no doubt that this partnership will be a success over the coming months and we’re looking forward to working with everyone at TeamSport through the remainder of the season.”
