He entered the Production Class of the BTCC in 2003, with the Barwell Motorsport team. He was the class champion in a field of five full-time drivers.

In 2005, he switched to the SEAT team, moving up a place to ninth with one race win. He returned to the BTCC for the final two meetings of 2014 in place of Glynn Geddie at United Autosports.
For 2006, Hines moved to the British GT Championship driving a Panoz Esperante for the LNT team. He immediately established himself as one of the front runners along with his team mate
