Hillspeed is a motor racing team based in the United Kingdom. They currently participate in four major racing series: BARC Formula Renault, the Ginetta Junior Championship and both new for 2013, the BRDC Formula 4 Championship and the Ginetta GT Supercup.
The team was founded in 1970 in order to run the British Saloon Car Championship entry of Morgan Ollerenshaw. In subsequent years, the team focused primarily on single-seater racing. Later, the company would also be involved in high performance road cars.
In recent years, Hillspeed have been one of the most successful teams in breaking new talent in junior racing series, winning the 2010 Formula Renault BARC season with Alice Powell as well as back-to-back Ginetta Junior championships with Tom Ingram in 2010 and Seb Morris in 2011.
