Pro Motorsport

Pro Motorsport is a British motor racing team based at Kirkby Mallory in Leicestershire. The team is associated primarily with the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), one of the United Kingdom’s most prominent circuit-racing series. Its best-documented manufacturer-backed programme began in 2015, when Pro Motorsport entered the BTCC with Infiniti as a manufacturer partner and fielded two Next Generation Touring Car (NGTC) specification Infiniti Q50s. The 2015 programme was short-lived in its original form. After the opening three rounds of the championship, Infiniti withdrew its support. Pro Motorsport consequently continued as an independent entrant rather than a manufacturer-supported works team. This change affected the team’s commercial and sporting positioning, moving it from a manufacturer-linked project to an independently operated BTCC effort. The team subsequently became associated with the Support Our Paras Racing identity. That banner reflects the involvement of several team members who are wounded former service personnel or ex-servicemen, and connects the racing operation with support for the Parachute Regiment community. The naming change gives the team a distinctive charitable and service-linked identity while retaining its roots in British touring-car competition. Pro Motorsport’s principal offering is not a consumer automotive product but the preparation, entry and operation of race cars in professional motorsport. Its activities encompass race-team management, vehicle preparation, competition support and participation in the BTCC. The Infiniti Q50 programme is the clearest publicly documented example of its competition machinery and manufacturer relationship. Publicly available reference material provides limited information about the team’s founding date, ownership, management personnel, broader commercial structure and competition record outside the cited BTCC programme. Accordingly, those fields remain unspecified here. The team is described as currently competing under the Support Our Paras Racing banner, indicating an active presence in British motor racing, although the available material does not provide a detailed current season-by-season account.

Pro Motorsport is a British racing team headquartered at Kirkby Mallory in Leicestershire. The team’s documented profile is centered on the British Touring Car Championship, where it operated a manufacturer-linked programme before continuing as an independent entrant. The team’s most notable publicly recorded entry came in 2015. Pro Motorsport joined the BTCC in partnership with Infiniti, entering two Infiniti Q50 cars built to the championship’s Next Generation Touring Car regulations. This arrangement positioned the team as an Infiniti manufacturer entry and gave the programme a direct association with a global automotive marque. The partnership changed shortly after the season began. Infiniti withdrew its support following the first three rounds of the championship. Pro Motorsport nevertheless remained in competition and carried on as an independent team. The transition illustrates the difference between a manufacturer-supported entry and a privately operated racing organisation: after the withdrawal, the team no longer competed with the same manufacturer-backed status, but its sporting operation continued. In its later identity, the team operated under the Support Our Paras Racing banner. The name is connected to the presence of wounded and former service personnel among members of the organisation and gives the racing project a service-community and fundraising-oriented character. The available reference material describes the team as currently competing under this banner. Beyond these documented developments, public information supplied for this entry does not establish a founding year, founder, ownership structure, executive roster, detailed results archive or complete list of racing series. Pro Motorsport is therefore best understood as an active British touring-car team whose principal historical milestones are its 2015 Infiniti-backed BTCC entry, the subsequent loss of manufacturer support, and its later operation as Support Our Paras Racing.
