BTCC History[]
Speedworks Motorsport took on Morgan in 2012, funded by Ginetta (the prize for winning the Ginetta GT Supercup).[3] A troubled start to the season (in which he only finished four races before the summer break) saw Morgan finish with 50 points, granting him ninteeth in the championship.[3]
Family Backing[]
For Morgan to continue in the BTCC in 2013, he father, owner of Ciceley Racing entered the BTCC for the first time (having supported Morgan in the Ginetta GT Supercup), buying a Toyota Avensis from Dynojet Racing from season before.[3] The highlight of the season saw Morgan clinch third at the Rockingham meeting, with Morgan becoming a familiar face in the top ten throughout the year.[3]
Morgan remained with his father's team (now named WIX Racing after their sponsor), running a Mercedes A-Class.[1]
