Paul Sheard Racing adds Oliver Cottam for 2023 TCR UK

Paul Sheard Racing confirmed a team of three Audi RS 3 LMS Generation 2 cars in the 2023 TCR UK after signing rising star Oliver Cottam.

The team had previously announced Joe Marshall and Garry Townsend; they will be joined by sixteen-year-old Cottam who tested a Power Maxed Racing CUPRA TCR during Motorsport Days Live at Silverstone last year and impressed with how he quickly adapted to the car.

Cottam, who has previously raced in the Junior Saloon Car Championship and Ginetta GT5 Challenge, said: “It’s great to be joining TCR UK at a time when the championship is growing in numbers and competition. I’m excited about the season ahead, but I realise there is a steep learning curve moving into this level of touring car racing. I’m looking forward to getting to grips with the Audi over the winter.”

“We’re excited to have Oliver join the team, it’s great to have such a young and upcoming driver in our expanded lineup,” said Peppe Planeta from Paul Sheard Racing.
