BTC Racing is a British auto racing team based in Shocklach, Cheshire and run by Bert Taylor. The team is best known for competing in the British Touring Car Championship.
They ran 2 Lexus IS 200 cars for and Darren Dowling in the latter two rounds of the 2006 British Touring Car Championship season in preparation for a fuller campaign the following season.
They retained Stockton for 2007 but signed Nick Leason as their second driver, although he ultimately only contested the first 3 rounds.
For 2008, Stockton was joined initially by truck racing champion Stuart Oliver. They replaced the Lexus cars with ex-Motorbase SEATs after two rounds, but had little success. The team missed round 6 at Snetterton after reported financial problems. Gareth Howell made two appearances in place of Oliver. The team were looking to enter the 2009 British Touring Car Championship season with two SEAT Leóns, but decided against this.
The team returned to the BTCC in 2014 with Chris Stockton driving an NGTC Chevrolet Cruze which was originally built for Silverline Chevrolet however the car was never completed as RML decided not to race in 2012.
The team originally planned to enter during 2013, but made the decision to concentrate on building their NGTC Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback.
