Power Maxed Racing has secured a second car on the grid for the 2015 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship. The two Chevrolet Cruzes will be under the management of the team's new manager, Martin Broadhurst, who has been brought in to spearhead the operation.

The deal was finalised and car formally entered last Friday, the final deadline for entries. This second TOCA BTCC Licence (TBL) has been acquired from United Autosports who have withdrawn from the series after failing to make any impact last season. In addition to the second car, Power Maxed Racing have confirmed the major signing of Martin Broadhurst, formally of WRC teams Prodrive Subaru and Mitsubishi before his move to Triple Eight.

Broadhurst commented: "Working with Adam and the team at Power Maxed Racing is the perfect next step in my career. I was looking for a new challenge, I see great potential in Power Maxed Racing and am confident we can work hard together to achieve great things this season and beyond."

Adam Weaver, Power Maxed Racing Team Principal commented: "The second car was always part of the master plan but we wanted to keep it quiet until everything was in place. We've been non-stop since the end of last season to bring it all together but it's a great feeling to see it work out. We are delighted to be able to grow the team with a view to challenging for podiums in 2015. Signing the 2014 Jack Sears Trophy winner and BTCC race winner Dave Newsham was the first step of many and the expertise of our new Team Manager Martin Broadhurst are set to put Power Maxed Racing firmly on the map this year."

Weaver concluded: "Not only does Martin have a huge wealth of experience, but he's a true leader and a thoroughly nice bloke, all of which are vital to what we want to achieve at Power Maxed Racing. Power Maxed Racing wouldn't be in such a strong position if it wasn't for the commitment from Chris Stockton last season to keep pushing the car and the team. We are working flat out to present the new look cars at the Season Launch."

The team is busy preparing the second Chevrolet Cruze to make sure it is ready and competitive for the official Season Launch on 24th March. The team also has a significant testing programme leading up to the start of the season.
