ADAM MORGAN TO FLY THE FLAG FOR DRAPER TOOLS IN 2025
Adam Morgan will fly the flag for Draper Tools in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship this season after the livery for his 2025 Team VERTU challenger was officially revealed.
Morgan joins the EXCELR8-run team for what will be his 14th season in Britain’s premier racing series, with the switch to the Droitwich-based outfit marking his return to front-wheel drive after four years.
Eight of Morgan’s eleven wins since stepping up into the BTCC from the Ginetta GT Supercup as the 2011 championship winner have come in front-wheel drive alongside 31 of his career podiums, with the Lancastrian now hoping to replicate those kind of results as part of the four-strong Team VERTU line-up.
The reveal of Adam’s livery ahead of the annual BTCC season launch event at Donington Park marks the seventh successive campaign in which the famous Draper Tools logo will be a prominent part of the grid alongside EXCELR8, thanks to a hugely successful partnership that kicked off back in 2019.
That relationship will go on until at least the end of the 2027 season having been extended in a new multi-year agreement earlier this year.
Although Draper Tools logos have been a feature on EXCELR8 cars through the years, a number of drivers have run in a bespoke Draper livery since the team’s debut campaign, when the MG6 GT of Rob Smith appeared on track in full Draper Tools colours.
The likes of Chris Smiley, Senna Proctor and Daniel Lloyd are amongst those to have since gone on to showcase the Draper Tools brand, with the latter carrying his Draper-liveried car to three race wins during the 2022 campaign.
Whilst Morgan’s livery will be similar in design to cars of team-mates Tom Ingram and Tom Chilton, the #33 will be decked out in the familiar light blue for which Draper Tools is so well known – with elements of white and red that will help ensure the car stands out on track.
Adam will hope to take Draper Tools back to the top of the podium during the year ahead, with his first race in Draper colours coming back at Donington Park at the end of the month.
