Smith upgrades to CUPRA Leon Competición for 2025 TCR UK

Mark Smith has announced that he has upgraded to a CUPRA Leon Competición for his entry in the 2025 TCR UK.

Smith, who competed in the Gen 1 Cup last year driving a CUPRA TCR run by BSR finishing the year third in the Cup’s standings, will stay with Ben Sharpe Racing.

“I’m looking forward to returning to TCR UK after a brilliant year in 2024. I had some great battles on track and felt I improved as a driver throughout the season," said Mark. "Teaming up with BSR again will make the move to the newer CUPRA even better.”

Team owner Ben Sharpe added: “We are excited to have Mark back with us. Last year, we saw him grow throughout the series and take two wins in the Gen 1 Cup, which was amazing. Now he’s stepping up with a Gen 2 CUPRA, and we can’t wait to support him again and see what he can achieve this year. We are also looking to run a second car in 2025.”
