Formed in 2005, Speedworks Motorsport entered the BTCC in 2011, becoming one of the first teams to field an NGTC-spec car with a Toyota Avensis for Tony Hughes. The Cheshire-based operation branched out in 2012 by adding a second car for championship debutant Adam Morgan, whilst stand-in Paul O’Neill was a stand-out at Knockhill with a trio of top six finishes highlighted by fourth position in race two – the team’s best result to-date.

That helped the squad to tenth in the final teams’ standings that year and sixth in the Independents’ title chase. Following Hughes’ retirement and Morgan’s departure, Dave Newsham and Ollie Jackson took over the driving duties in 2013, with the former proving to be a regular points-scorer and annexing a top ten championship position as Speedworks improved to seventh in the teams’ table and fifth-best Independent. For 2014, the outfit has slimmed down to a single-car entry for promising three-time Ginetta champion Tom Ingram.
